CRONY X Davis Rendle
Davis Rendle (he/him) is the founder of CRONY X. Originally from Seattle, he now bikes the Golden Gate Bridge, skiis Tahoe, and calls San Francisco home. A deep love for the outdoors, streetwear fashion, and doing good drove him to start this brand in 2021. His main focus for CRONY X was to develop a strong ethos and to nurture it, constantly improving.
Davis's design, Peace In Death, explores the ideas of humans reconnecting with the Earth. Although death can feel dark and uncertain, there's something very peaceful about it. When a human passes away they transfer their energy back into the Earth and they cease to make a mark on our planet.
We must tread lighter, we must reverse engineer the negative impact we've had on the Earth, and we must appreciate what we have before it's gone.
