Savage Yet Civilized Apparel is a Chicagoland-based streetwear brand founded by Kevin Lopez in 2018. With a deep love for Puerto Rican culture, the brand has made its mark in the fashion world by offering high-quality, durable, and original streetwear, including shirts, footwear, jogger suits, caps, jackets, and shoes. Savage Yet Civilized is a one-stop shop for all things street fashion.

Kevin’s passion for fashion began during a visit to Yonkers, NY, where he was inspired by the local streetwear scene. Starting from humble beginnings in a basement, Kevin turned his love for fashion and music into a thriving business, driven by a vision of helping others while building a lasting empire. In 2019, the brand expanded into a retail location, but when the pandemic hit, Kevin pivoted to focus on e-commerce, where the brand truly began to flourish.

In 2024, Kevin made a bold move, selling his truck and buying a transit van, wrapping it to catch the attention of Modelo Beer during a sales event. This creative thinking helped elevate the brand’s visibility and put it on the map. By 2025, the brand opened its first 2,400 sq ft warehouse, further expanding operations and now catering to companies needing quality apparel.

Proudly 100% Puerto Rican-owned, Kevin Lopez infuses his heritage into every product, reflecting the resilience, pride, and creativity of Puerto Rican culture. With a global customer base, Savage Yet Civilized Apparel continues to grow and evolve, making waves in the fast-paced fashion industry.

We take pride in every piece we create and hope you appreciate our work as much as we do. -Kevin Lopez (Founder)
