The Hundreds was founded in Los Angeles in 2003 by Bobby Kim and Ben Shenassafar[1] as a men's apparel company and online magazine. Inspired by a California culture, the brand is considered a two-part lifestyle project influenced by a variety of California's defining traits from punk to hip-hop, skateboarding to surf. Now sold worldwide, including at four of its own flagship stores in the United States, The Hundreds has expanded beyond apparel, accessories and headgear to a print magazine, a footwear collection and eyewear line.

History
