Ink Detroit was established in 2005 by Steven Mansour, a veteran of the garment trade, and Paul Marcial, a graphic artist. It is the best place to find Detroit-themed products, and strives to uplift Motown to its once great status as the Paris of the Midwest.
“We can’t believe it’s already been ten years since we started on this journey with Ink Detroit,” said Mansour. “This company started with an idea and a vision, and has grown in ways we never thought possible. We love being able to design and produce items that Detroit natives can wear with pride, and can’t wait to see what the next 10 years bring.”
