INDIAN MOTORCYCLE X RVSO COLLECTION

The Indian Motorcycle x RVSO Collection is a first-of-its-kind apparel collaboration that weaves the vision of Indigenous designer, Jeremy Arviso, with the trailblazing spirit of America's First Motorcycle Company, Indian Motorcycle. Purchases from the collection directly benefit the next generation of Native American entrepreneurs through Change Labs, an award-winning Native-led nonprofit organization on the Navajo and Hopi nations. 


A true collaboration rooted in respect, this collection brings Native American design for every rider to wear with pride.

Meet The Designer

Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Jeremy Arviso is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation (Diné) and is of the Hopi, Akimel O’odham and Tohono O’odham Nations. As an Indigenous streetwear designer, Arviso creates designs inspired by his heritage.


"Being the first Native American designer to collaborate with this legendary brand is an honor and a privilege. It’s one of those opportunities you never expect to happen and, when it does, you better be ready to ride! For this collection, I drew inspiration from the existing identity of Indian Motorcycle. I carefully placed elements of movement, direction and color throughout the collection. Adorned with arrow motifs, each piece embodies a deep connection to land, community, and heritage."

The Partnership

Over the last two years, Jeremy worked with Indian Motorcycle to develop this collection. The partnership was a highly collaborative process, creating space for Jeremy to share his personal experiences, inspirations and culture. Jeremy Arviso brings storytelling to life through meaningful design – the colors and symbols in this collection carry significance with the designer’s intention to offer riders a deeper connection to the artistry and traditions of Indigenous Peoples.

The Design

Each piece features exclusive artwork by Jeremy Arviso based on his life experiences, motorcycle riding family history and cultural background. This Collection is inspired by symbols that reflect deep cultural significance in his heritage. Although widely recognized across Native American Tribal communities, each Tribal community may vary in the colors, significance, and patterns represented here. Below Jeremy shares details on the meaning behind his design for this exclusive collection.
