3 years after launching Drawls at the Action Sport Retail show in San Diego, it was a bonafide smash.  The only thing that was missing was more pieces for the girls.  That’s where Dawls comes in.  Ryan Rush and the Drawls team launched the girl extension of Drawls, conveniently named Dawls with some incredible artwork that all the girls (and the guys!) in the rave, skate and streetwear scene loved.

Unlike some of the other girls lines at the time, Dawls focused on utility over cutesy design that was overly feminine.  Taking influence from successful guys pieces at the time, they incorporated those aspects into cut and sew for girls that fit better and was specifically made for them.  Features like hidden stash pockets and pants with zip off legs that converted into shorts.  They even added some of the most well liked features, like drawsstring, straps and bungee cords to dresses and skirts.
