The Indonesian brand Devá States was founded in 2015 by Theo Kusuma and Mol Edrin, two friends with mutual interests in graphic and t-shirts. Devá is adopted from the Sanskrit, one of the most ancient languages of Indonesia, and translates to the shining one, divine or anything of excellence. The young label is inspired by a diverse range of references like art movements, philosophies and social phenomenons that they try to translate into graphic, colors and textures.
