CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "estimate," "plans," "potential," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "management believes," "we believe," "we intend" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," as well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.
Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of components, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These statements are based on our management's expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
| ● | changes in the market acceptance of our products; | |
| ● | increased levels of competition; | |
| ● | changes in political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate; | |
| ● | our relationships with our key customers; | |
| ● | our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees; | |
| ● | our ability to quickly and effectively respond to new technological developments; | |
| ● | our ability to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company; and | |
| ● | other risks, including those described in the "Risk Factors" discussion of this prospectus. |
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Company Overview
Our Business
Digital Brands is a curated collection of lifestyle brands, including Bailey, DSTLD, Stateside, Sundry and Avo, that offers a variety of apparel products through direct-to- consumer and wholesale distribution. Our complementary brand portfolio provides us with the unique opportunity to cross merchandise our brands. We aim for our customers to wear our brands head to toe and to capture what we call "closet share" by gaining insight into their preferences to create targeted and personalized content specific to their cohort. Operating our brands under one portfolio provides us with the ability to better utilize our technological, human capital and operational capabilities across all brands. As a result, we have been able to realize operational efficiencies and continue to identify additional cost saving opportunities to scale our brands and overall portfolio.
Our portfolio currently consists of four significant brands:
| ● | Bailey combines beautiful, luxe fabrics and on-trend designs to create sophisticated ready-to-wear capsules for women on-the-go. Designing for real life, this brand focuses on feeling and comfort rather than how it looks on a runway. Bailey is primarily a wholesale brand, which we intend to transition to a digital, direct-to-consumer brand. | |
| ● | DSTLD offers stylish high-quality garments without the luxury retail markup valuing customer experience over labels. DSTLD is primarily a digital direct-to-consumer brand, to which we recently added select wholesale retailers to generate brand awareness. | |
| ● | Stateside is an elevated, America first brand with all knitting, dyeing, cutting and sewing sourced and manufactured locally in Los Angeles. The collection is influenced by the evolution of the classic t-shirt offering a simple yet elegant look. Stateside is primarily a wholesale brand that we intend to transition to a digital, direct-to-consumer brand. | |
| ● | Sundry offers distinct collections of women's clothing, including dresses, shirts, sweaters, skirts, shorts, athleisure bottoms and other accessory products. Sundry's products are coastal casual and consist of soft, relaxed and colorful designs that feature a distinct French chic, resembling the spirits | |
| ● | Avo is a women's essential brand that will offer t-shirts, sweats, dresses, sweaters and athleisure. Avo eliminates the wholesale mark-up, so its products have a sharper price point. Avo also offers larger discounts when the customer bundles multiple products to their cart, which allows Avo to leverage its shipping and fulfillment costs. Avo leverages the Company's current design and supply chain infrastructure, so we use similar or the same fabrics and contractors for Avo that we do for our other brands. |

We believe that successful apparel brands sell in all revenue channels. However, each channel offers different margin structures and requires different customer acquisition and retention strategies. We were founded as a digital-first retailer that has strategically expanded into select wholesale and direct retail channels. We strive to strategically create omnichannel strategies for each of our brands that blend physical and online channels to engage consumers in the channel of their choosing. Our products are sold direct-to-consumers principally through our websites and our own showrooms, but also through our wholesale channel, primarily in specialty stores and select department stores. With the continued expansion of our wholesale distribution, we believe developing an omnichannel solution further strengthens our ability to efficiently acquire and retain customers while also driving high customer lifetime value.
We believe that by leveraging a physical footprint to acquire customers and increase brand awareness, we can use digital marketing to focus on retention and a very tight, disciplined high value new customer acquisition strategy, especially targeting potential customers lower in the sales funnel. Building a direct relationship with the customer as the customer transacts directly with us allows us to better understand our customer's preferences and shopping habits. Our experience as a company originally founded as a digitally native-first retailer gives us the ability to strategically review and analyze the customer's data, including contact information, browsing and shopping cart data, purchase history and style preferences. This in turn has the effect of lowering our inventory risk and cash needs since we can order and replenish product based on the data from our online sales history, replenish specific inventory by size, color and SKU based on real times sales data, and control our mark-down and promotional strategies versus being told what mark downs and promotions we have to offer by the department stores and boutique retailers.
We define "closet share" as the percentage ("share") of a customer's clothing units that ("of closet") she or he owns in her or his closet and the amount of those units that go to the brands that are selling these units. For example, if a customer buys 20 units of clothing a year and the brands that we own represent 10 of those units purchased, then our closet share is 50% of that customer's closet, or 10 of our branded units divided by 20 units they purchased in entirety. Closet share is a similar concept to the widely used term wallet share, it is just specific to the customer's closet. The higher our closet share, the higher our revenue as higher closet share suggests the customer is purchasing more of our brands than our competitors.
We have strategically expanded into an omnichannel brand offering these styles and content not only on-line but at selected wholesale and retail storefronts. We believe this approach allows us opportunities to successfully drive Lifetime Value ("LTV") while increasing new customer growth. We define Lifetime Value or LTV as an estimate of the average revenue that a customer will generate throughout their lifespan as our customer. This value/revenue of a customer helps us determine many economic decisions, such as marketing budgets per marketing channel, retention versus acquisition decisions, unit level economics, profitability and revenue forecasting.

On July 21, 2025, the Company signed and entered into that certain Exclusive Private Label Manufacturing Agreement (the "AAA Agreement") with a Selling Stockholder, AAA Tuscaloosa, LLC ("AAA"). Although the AAA Agreement has a stated effective date of July 16, 2025, it became a binding obligation of the Company upon becoming fully executed by the parties on July 21, 2025. AAA is acting as the name, image, and likeness ("NIL") marketing agent for student-athletes attending the University of Alabama. Pursuant to the terms of the AAA Agreement, AAA has engaged the Company to manufacture private label knit apparel products for the University of Alabama as set forth in the AAA Agreement, but excluding any and all jerseys, polo shirts, collared shirts, quarter zips, and t-shirts or sweatshirts featuring the NIL, or trademark owned by a student-athlete or any game-related or team-related content (the "AAA Exclusive Apparel Products"). Such AAA Exclusive Apparel Products, manufactured exclusively by the Company, are to be sold directly by AAA through its website and brick-and-mortar locations in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The Company has general discretion to develop designs, technical specifications, and prototypes for the AAA Exclusive Apparel Products and has agreed to use its best efforts to invest approximately $1,000,000 in its continued marketing, technology and product development by the end of 2025, with the majority of such investment to be deployed by the Company on digital ad spend, influencer marketing and related expenses.

The AAA Agreement is for a term of 3-years (the "AAA Term"), with the option to renew for successive one-year terms.

The Company has general discretion to develop designs, technical specifications, and prototypes for the University Client Exclusive Apparel Products. In connection with the Company's continued marketing, technology and product development initiatives, it has agreed to use its best efforts to invest approximately $1,000,000 during the first year of each Authorized Manufacturing Agreement it enters into with each University Client, with the majority of such investment to be deployed by the Company on digital ad spend, influencer marketing and related expenses.
The Rallytown Agreement is for a term of 3-years (the "Rallytown Term"), with the option to renew for successive one-year terms, and Rallytown has agreed to engage the Company on an exclusive basis to produce the University Client Exclusive Apparel Products during the Rallytown Term. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue Rallytown $1,000,000 worth of Common Stock, based on the WVAP, for each year of the Rallytown Term for each University Client that enters into an Authorized Manufacturer Agreement with the Company. Such shares will be issued to Rallytown up front for all 3 years of the Rallytown Term and are to be issued upon the signing of each subject Authorized Manufacturer Agreement. For example, if three University Clients enter into Authorized Manufacturer Agreements, the Company will issue $9,000,000 in Common Stock to Rallytown, or $3,000,000 worth of Common Stock per University Client.

On December 3, 2025, the Company closed on that certain Marketing and Sponsorship Agreement (the "Buffalo Sports Agreement," and together with the AAA Agreement, the Rallytown Agreement, the Crimson Tide Agreements, and the Grove Collective Agreement, collectively, the "Selling Stockholders' Agreements) with Buffalo Sports Properties, LLC ("Buffalo Sports," and together with AAA, Rallytown, Crimson Tide, and Grove Collective, collectively, the "Selling Stockholders"), pursuant to which Buffalo Sports agreed to provide the Company certain benefits with respect to Company's products at the University of Colorado, solely with respect to its athletics department, as set forth in the Buffalo Sports Agreement (the "Colorado Benefits"). While the Buffalo Sports Agreement is dated November 1, 2025 and has a stated effective date of December 1, 2025, the Buffalo Sports Agreement did not become a binding obligation of the Company until it was fully executed by the parties on December 3, 2025.
The Buffalo Sports Agreement is for a team of 3-years, beginning effective December 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2028 (the "Buffalo Sports Term"). As consideration for Buffalo Sports providing the Colorado Benefits to the Company, the Company agreed to pay Buffalo Sports a sponsorship fee in the aggregate amount of $550,000 for each year of the Buffalo Sports Term (the "Buffalo Sports Sponsorship Fee"). The Buffalo Sports Sponsorship Fee consists of $350,000 payable in shares Common Stock (the "Buffalo Sports Shares," and together with the AAA Shares, the Rallytown Shares, the Crimson Tide Shares, and the Grove Collective Shares, collectively the "Shares"), and $200,000 in cash for each year of the Bufalo Sports Term. The Bufalo Sports Shares are subject to a guaranteed make-whole provision for 18-months to guarantee the total dollar value of the Bufalo Sports Shares, such that if the price of the Common Stock declines, the Company shall issue either additional shares of Common Stock, or cash, to Buffalo Sports to make up such difference. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay to Buffalo Sports 7% of the gross revenue generated by the Company under its separate licensing agreement with the University of Colorado (the "Revenue Share"), which Revenue Share is to be used as a fund to secure University of Colorado NIL activities.
The Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Bufalo Sports Shares by January 17, 2026. Pursuant to the Agreement, Buffalo Sports assigned all of its voting interests with respect to all Bufalo Sports Shares via proxy to John Hilburn Davis IV, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Limited Tariff Exposure
The Company produces the vast majority of its products in Los Angeles, with the exception of sweaters. As a result, over 90% of its products are Made in the USA, which significantly limits the Company's exposure to tariff impositions or increases, or potential tariff impositions or increases, on imported goods. This domestic production strategy has proven to be a competitive advantage, particularly in the first half of 2025, when increased China-related tariffs impacted the broader apparel industry. While many competitors were forced to raise prices in both retail and wholesale channels to offset tariff-driven cost increases on imported goods, the Company's brands maintained stable pricing. This allowed the Company to preserve margin integrity and potentially gain wholesale market share, as customers sought more consistent and competitively priced domestic supply alternatives. Management believes this will continue to serve as a meaningful advantage for the Company's online and wholesale segments moving forward.
No Exposure to de-Minimis
The Company does not use and has never used the "de minimis" exemption. The "de minimis" provision, which allowed duty-free entry for low-value imports (under $800), has been overturned for goods from China and Hong Kong, effective May 2, 2025. This means that goods imported from these countries, even if under the $800 threshold, will now be subject to tariffs.
A significant number of e-commerce retailers relied on the de minimis exemption, which the Company believes will require them to significantly increase their prices or to experience a significant decline in gross margin and profitability. The Company believes this change in the de minimis policy should reduce the number of online apparel brands, and create a less crowded marketplace.

Careful consideration should be made of the following factors as well as other information included in this prospectus before deciding to purchase our securities. We have also identified a number of these factors under the heading "Risk Factors" in our periodic reports we file with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report"), which section is incorporated by reference herein. There are many risks that affect our business and results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed by any of these risks. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also affect our business and results of operations.
Risks Related to This Offering
The Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares in the open market, which may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
The Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares being registered in this offering in the public market. That means that up to 1,721,000 shares of Common Stock, the number of Shares being registered in this offering for sale by the Selling Stockholders, may be sold in the public market. Such sales will likely cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
Sale of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the further decline of the price of our Common Stock.
The significant downward pressure on the price of our Common stock caused by the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders', which could amount to material amounts of Common Stock, could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares will go to the Selling Stockholders as described below in the sections entitled "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution". We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the Shares for the Selling Stockholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Selling Stockholders will offer the Shares at the prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price of our Common Stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Our Common Stock may not trade at the market prices in excess of the offering prices for Common Stock in any public market will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
We are registering the Shares in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer these Shares for resale from time to time. Except for the investment in the Shares being registered hereunder, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
We have entered into the Selling Stockholders' Agreements with the Selling Stockholders whereby we have agreed to file a registration statement for the registration of the Shares issued pursuant to the Selling Stockholders' Agreements. The registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part of, is being filed pursuant to the Selling Stockholders' Agreements. For additional information regarding the issuances of those Shares, see "Recent Developments" under "Prospectus Summary" above.

The actual number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of our common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. | |

The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM- 2440.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these Shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these Shares. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed the Company that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Shares.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the Shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The resale Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.
