About Us
WELCOME TO
INTERNATIONAL
We are a clothing company owned and operated in San Luis Obispo, California. We profile local artists by taking their designs and putting them on clothing. Our goal is to inspire creativity, bring forth designs that are unique, and thus allow both the artist and wearer to express themselves. We make it possible to bring recognition to artist who have become shadowed by the majority and appear invisible to the public eye. Regardless of who you are, or what you've done, talent is talent. Chomp wants to be an opportunity for others to express their creativity.

The name CHOMP was originally derived from the ocean. It is used to describe the sheer power that the ocean controls. Specifically related to surfing, the word describes the ability that the ocean/waves have, to be both harsh and forgiving. Being tossed and turned by a wave can be seen as getting "CHOMPED".
