Today we’d like to introduce you to Andre Carriere. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Dracarrj is a Clothing supply brand established by Jahvaun and Andre Carriere, two twins with the goal of having a clothing brand that represents our slogan Family, Loyalty, Ambition. The word Dracarrj (Druh-Car-Jah) was created after countless times trying finding the right earthly word to represent our brand became unsuccessful. Dracarrj is a combination of our names. Dra for Dre, Carr for Carriere and J for Jahvaun. The slogan came from Jahvaun, one day he decided to get a tattoo over his heart with a skull and underneath a three ribbon of words spelling “Family, Loyalty, Ambition”, something he felt really strongly about through his life. Tragically Jahvaun Carriere passed away September 27, 2014, two weeks after he put in the trademark information for the brand. His death sparked a motivation and drive in me to work harder than ever for us both, to finish the job we started and to keep his legacy alive forever. Dracarrj is more than just an average clothing brand, it’s a legacy. Family, Loyalty, Ambition.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No it hasn’t, it’s been rough. I had a lot of friends/loved ones pass away along with dealing with my twin. But my road is supposed to be rough in the beginning, it makes or breaks you. The brands always about the love I have for my brother but over time, it’s expanded to my love for anyone I care about and who others care about.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?

It’s to grow Jacksonville.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
I’ve learned to trust my first thought and not overthink it. Having a brand is a lot and sometimes creatively I get stuck because I’m overthinking ideas and when to drop them and all that.
