Distro Ave x Euphoria Market

In the heart of Washington, D.C., two longtime friends, Touch and Dionte Martin, have carved out a unique lane in the fashion world with Distro Ave. More than just a clothing brand, Distro Ave is a fusion of automotive culture and vintage streetwear, a concept born from their shared passion for cars and fashion.

The brand officially launched in 2019, but its roots trace back further. Touch and Dionte had always been drawn to car meets and collected automotive apparel during their travels. Their vision gained momentum when an event invited them to be vendors in 2022. What started as a small-scale operation, curating pieces from their own closets, quickly evolved into a respected brand with its own merchandise, accessories, and collectibles.

What sets Distro Ave apart is its intentionality. In an industry often criticized for high markups and lack of authenticity, Touch and Dionte emphasize fair pricing and genuine community engagement. "We don’t sell anything over $100 because we wouldn’t pay that ourselves," Dionte explains.

Navigating the business world has been a mix of instinct and research. They’ve learned from other brands without copying, staying true to their identity while adapting to industry trends. Above all, their goal is to build connections. "The best part isn’t just the profit. It’s meeting new people and creating opportunities for the future," Dionte adds.

For aspiring entrepreneurs, their advice is simple: "Do your research, know your market, and just go for it." With their unwavering passion and strategic approach, Touch and Dionte continue to drive Distro Ave forward, proving that authenticity and vision can turn a passion into a thriving business.
