IT’S BEEN A QUICK TWO YEARS FOR DAVID BEN-DAVID. SINCE STARTING SPRAYGROUND SOME TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, THE BAG COMPANY HAS TAKEN OFF TO BECOME A STREET FAVORITE WITH ITS OWN CULT FOLLOWING. SEEN ON THE BACKS OF SARTORIALLY-INCLINED URBANITES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SPRAYGROUND WAS PART OF THE RECENT “BAG RENAISSANCE” OF LATE, WHERE BAGS—THE BACKPACK PARTICULARLY—HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED NOT ONLY AN ACCESSORY, BUT A CANVAS. WITH HIS ROOTS IN MIAMI’S NOTORIOUS GRAFFITI SCENE, CO-SIGNS FROM STREET ART LEGENDS IN NEW YORK, AND EVEN MORE AMBITION, IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT SPRAYGROUND IS STILL ON THE RISE. HERE WE TALK WITH FOUNDER AND DESIGNER DAVID BEN-DAVID ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE BAG INDUSTRY, HIS BRAND’S ROLE IN THE BAG GAME, AND FUTURE AMBITIONS OF SPRAYGROUND.
