Our Goals
To begin sewing and maufacturing Boaxnation brand apparel. To promote and sponsor dancehall shows.
To open a Boaxantion Urban Apprarel store.
Our business was founded in 1977 when Billy was born. This is
when the whole creative process began. However, we decided to "go public" in 2005. The response was immediately
overwhelming. We started out small by producing small orders of t-shirts at our home. Now we are looking to expand
our horizons by making custom-designed clothing.
