CUSTOMER SERVICE

Status Apparel DC is proudly based in Washington, DC. Our roots in the nation's capital influence everything from our designs and storytelling to our commitment to community. While we serve customers nationwide through our online store, you'll often find us connecting directly with customers through pop-up events, festivals, and markets throughout Washington, DC and beyond.

Yes. Status Apparel DC is a Black-owned lifestyle apparel brand founded in Washington, DC by Gabriel Massalley in 2015. Built on the belief that "Status, It's a Way of Life," the brand creates premium apparel inspired by motivation, community, culture, and personal growth. Every collection is designed to encourage people to lead by example and make a positive impact on those around them.

For us, status isn't about material things—it's about the way you carry yourself, treat others, and pursue your goals. "Status, It's a Way of Life" represents a commitment to growth, authenticity, positivity, and leading by example. It's a mindset that influences everything we create and the community we're building.

Status Apparel DC is more than clothing—it's a mindset and a community. Our message, "Status, It's a Way of Life," reflects our belief that true status comes from positive influence, ambition, creativity, and perseverance. Unlike many brands that follow trends, we focus on creating meaningful products with purpose. Many of our collections feature motivational messages, premium embroidery, original artwork, and carefully selected materials designed to last. We aim to create apparel that not only looks good but also inspires confidence, growth, and self-expression.
