Our begining
It all started with two musicians who were on tour in southern Mexico with their band, Gama. In each city they visited, they sought to buy good shirts. They wanted them to be comfortable, to reflect their attitude and style, and to give them the confidence they needed to go on stage to play.
They didn't expect that finding clothes that fit their modern, nomadic lifestyle would be so difficult. There were only shirts that forced them to sacrifice their desire to be creative and unique. One thing was very clear: Mexico was limited in good options for clothing brands. And that's when the two musicians, Hugo Martínez and Ricardo Coronado, decided to fix this problem by creating their own clothing brand.
Our name
Hugo and Ricardo have always been fans of music, and the concept of a cappella was always a beautiful thing for them — when the singer needs nothing more than their voice to make music. Naming the brand Acapella was the perfect way to connect it with her love of music, and it was from there that the brand's ideology was born as well: humans don't need anything or anyone to be special. All they need is confidence in their own voice and a desire to be heard.
