Magenta Skateboard Decks & Clothing

Magenta was founded in 2010 by French skaters/brothers Vivien and Jean Feil, and their good friend Soy Panday. The company is currently based in Bordeaux, France. The name 'Magenta' was the name of the boulevard in Paris where Vivien and Soy used to reside as roommates and where they met most of their skating friends. It was also the place where friends would crash if they are visiting Paris.

The founders wanted to create a skate brand that's different from what big corporations are offering and, in particular, how they are running and marketing their brand. Although the company is based in France, it has reached a global audience with strong connections in Japan and a growing presence in the USA.

The brand is known for their unique and interesting graphics especially their one-off and artist series. The brand's logo is also quite interesting and uncommon in the skating world. It is said that the 'plant with one prominent leaf' logo represents the connection of something to everything, no matter how different or unique you want it to be.

Currently, the Magenta riding team includes Vivien Feil, Leo Valls, Soy Panday, Jimmy Lannon, Ben Gore, Glen Fox and Zach Lyons.
