MY story

Tarpley Brooks Jones, a native of Nashville, TN, embarked on a transformative odyssey that carried him from the farmlands of Tennessee to the avant-garde art scene of Chicago. It was there that he discovered the profound spirituality of Buddhism—a discovery that ignited a passion for design and shaped his destiny.

Driven by a mission to harness creative energy as a force for spreading consciousness, Jones chose fashion as his primary canvas. Over the last decade, he has meticulously refined his craft, evolving from experimental streetwear in Los Angeles to the establishment of his eponymous label, TARPLEY, in 2022.

TARPLEY is a contemporary fashion house specializing in garments engineered through innovative technologies. The brand seamlessly blends boundary-pushing design and groundbreaking materials with impeccable craftsmanship, producing garments that resonate with a distinct, compelling energy.

Operating between New York City and Nashville, Jones envisions a brand rooted in the values of both locations—a harmonious union of metropolitan idealism and southern practicality. Beyond the creation of captivating fashion, TARPLEY is committed to propelling the industry toward sustainable energy practices and utilizing creative output to foster mindfulness and positivity.

Embracing the diverse voices of the American landscape, TARPLEY stands as a symbol of family, fashion, and freedom. By infusing Buddhist principles into the brand’s DNA, Jones aspires to inspire compassion that extends far beyond the realm of apparel.
