About | Salbahe' Brand

Salbahe’ Brand disFUNKshünal gear provides trenZsettin’ threads to people from islandwide to worldwide. Salbahe’ Brand clothing pushes unique designs, original concepts and enthusiastic ideas. We go deeper and beyond the threads. Salbahe’ has been used and referred to as a type of “swagger.” The schemes & colors, match to mismatch, loud & proud, cool & tattooed, our spunk & funk make us different from the rest. We are LaFamilia- our character and foundation is built upon LOYALTY, RESPECT, TRUST, LOVE & HONOR. Salbahe’ is a lifestyle, a culture, and a movement. A culture that stands for the uprising, the new age outlaws, the rebels, the underdawgz. At Salbahe’, we shed light on the hard working individuals; the hustlers & go-getta’s, 9 to 5in’ tryin’ to make a living by any & all means necessary. Shedding light to the underground and standing up for the ones that are stereotyped, criticized, and labeled. Because we refuse to blend in- we’d rather stand out!

HISTORY
So what is “Salbahe”? Salbahe’ is a filipino derrived term that means naughty, bad, mischievous, or cool. In slang tagalog terms, “Salbahe” can also mean bad ass, bad boy/girl or crazy. After working with the godfather and pioneer of clothing companies in the Marianas, Dexter Mendiola (widely known for Fotten Gaga’ Representa Company), Rob got the idea of starting up his own line. At first it was just a small joke when Rob brought up the idea to Dexter about creating a shirt with the filipino translation of “Fotten Gaga’.” After a couple sketches, drawings, and trashed ideas, SALBAHE’ was born. Dexter convinced Rob to take this idea to the next level and instead of just making one shirt, how ’bout creating a clothing company. So, in mid 2006, Rob Travilla established SALBAHE’ BRAND disFUNKshünal gear 4 Naughty Occa$ions. Salbahe’ Brand was officially launched at Rob’s birthday party that year when Rob’s girlfriend, Loli, got with Dex and surprised Rob when he walked in and saw the product. Rob pushed the products from the back of his trunk, selling the tees to family, friends and interested buyers. Salbahe’ also launched the disFUNKshünal LaFamilia and co-launched ‘Chow It Gear’ in 2008. Also since Salbahe’s debut, Salbahe’ Co. was called to work on different projects and collaborations for companies, schools, pep rallies, dance crews, and much more. In 2010, Salbahe’ Brand along with SOIS ONER was the 1st to showcase and demonstrate graffiti art in 29 years of Flame Tree Arts Festival, Saipan history. Salbahe’ also layed out the creative blueprint for Saipan’s 1st Premier Local Urban Boutique- Tha Trapp.
