The Hideout Clothing embraces a distinctive DNA that seamlessly merges the raw, rugged, and powerful essence of Bas' Caribbean upbringing with the refinement, luxury, and attention to detail inspired by the architecture of Paris and France.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant tapestry of life, influenced by diverse cultures and ethnicities—the multicultural melting pot of the Caribbean. A fusion of influences presents a truly authentic and captivating aesthetic, fostering a unique culture, way of life, and mentality.

The Hideout Clothing is a journey: the journey of Bas, who was born in Nice, grew up in Trinidad in the Caribbean, and now lives in Paris. The journey of THC began in 2012 when childhood best friends, Bas and the late Rashad, established their first stores in Trinidad & Tobago (a small twin-island in the Caribbean). Driven by a shared vision of offering exclusive, hard-to-find brands while pursuing a legitimate path to financial success, they embarked on an ambitious venture.

What started with printed tees gaining popularity quickly evolved into a full cut-n-sew collection in 2018, even though their knowledge of the fashion industry was limited. Living amidst the factory workers, they shared modest accommodations and meals, fully immersed in their creative process.

In a daring move, they flew to Miami, rented a caravan, and embarked on a transformative journey, introducing themselves and their collections to stores across the United States. They slept in the car, held gym memberships to shower for convenience, and visited over 500 stores across the East Coast, South, Midwest, and West Coast, building relationships and securing orders.

Their initial taste of success was built on authentic connections rather than clout or celebrity endorsements.

Although Rashad tragically passed away in December 2022, the day after his birthday, his spirit continues to inspire their journey forward.

We love you and miss you every day, Rashad.

Following Rashad’s passing, Bas relocated to Paris and, in January 2024, opened a flagship store for The Hideout Clothing in the heart of the world-renowned fashion district—Le Marais, at 67 Rue Du Temple, 75003. The store stands as one of the biggest on the block, cementing THC’s presence in one of the most influential fashion capitals in the world. This flagship location has become a creative hub, bringing the brand's unique Caribbean-meets-Parisian identity to an international audience.

Since 2023, The Hideout Clothing has also expanded into the Italian market, where our bold aesthetic and Caribbean-meets-Parisian storytelling have resonated deeply with a fashion-conscious audience. The streets of Milan, Naples and Rome have embraced our vision, with concept stores and fashion insiders recognizing the brand's distinctive fusion of heritage and modernity. As we continue to make waves in Italy, this expansion marks another chapter in our journey, connecting cultures through fashion.

As the brand evolved, Alej (a Paris local with Portuguese roots) joined the team to contribute to the creative direction, helping to further refine THC’s aesthetic and vision. From this new energy and a more European influence, a new brand identity has emerged naturally, and The Hideout Clothing will transition from THC to HIDEOUT for our Spring/Summer 2026 collection; focusing more on eco-friendly, high-quality fabrics, recycled materials, and qualitative, ethical workmanship—part of which will be manufactured in Portugal.

More than just a clothing brand, The Hideout Clothing represents the people—the dreamers, the unheard voices, and those who refuse to let their origins or circumstances hold them back. It stands for love, positivity, environmental consciousness, and self-care. With a commitment to reducing our impact on the environment, we strive to inspire individuals to make conscious choices while embracing self-awareness.

The brand's global community of believers includes talented creatives from all ethnic and social backgrounds, who contribute to our family essence.

Embrace the journey of empowerment, culture, and streetwear as we continue to reshape the fashion landscape with our unique point of view.

The story is still being written.

One love.
