2014 - Fine Vino, a small note in our past that hinted the path for our founder.
Following the end of highschool, our founder created small custom cut and sewn pieces, such as custom pocket tees, and splicing my highschool logo onto garments since school merchandise was never really available for his own personal use. The alias Fine Vino/VIIINO was used to showcase these.
2016 - Mighty Motives Apparel, originally conceived as a College Graphic Designs project. A simple idea sparked the career path towards NITOS.
Initially conceived as a mock brand with simple projects of logo design and letterhead design, our founder took it a step further and put those graphics into physical apparel, sparking the possibilities to come. Post graphic design class, he took it a step further he set up a group photoshoot in the Arts Disctrict of Los Angeles, The Artery, here our founder tested what he could do creating content for the brand and his photography skills. At the end, to conclude the project he gave away all of his apparel to his models, all friends and aquaintances.
2017 - Versatile Threads, our first step into building a real clothing brand, and our first step into business.
Following the conclusion of the mock brand, Versatile Threads was conceived and captured immediately, all social medias, website handles, and emails. This year became our first step into business, also securing our first warehouse. Under Versatile Threads dba, financing Screen Printing and Vinyl Equipment would solidify the the rebirth of NITOS.

2019 - OMAJU, pre-pandemic has been at the forefront of developing premium facemasks, ultimately tackling a market that was severely lacking
Throughout its conception, our subsidiary OMAJU has been developing high quality facemasks which have, at the time of 2018, not yet been seen in the market. About a year before the COVID-19 Incident swept the entire world, we had released our final version of the masks. Through fate of chance, it was now our opportunity to truly shine. We did not take this opportunity lightly as we ramped up production earning our market share as well as donated to our local hospitals in need. As we worked tirelessly trying to keep up with the demand, we aimed to make a name for ourselves. Transitioning out of the pandemic, our brand still stands strong as the #1 source for high quality facemasks.
