Big Bobby B is a local Las Vegas artist in every facet of the word. He jumped off the porch chasing his passion, in 2019 and hasn’t looked back since.

Recently relocating from Dallas, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada before the Pandemic, he changed his brand name from the Chris Orla Collection to Orla Worldwide and is giving several artists and designers a run for their money.

Starting the company with his younger brother Chris, designin’ bow ties and whatnots, he felt that the toil in creating was not leading him in the direction he desired to be or what he was really purposed to do, so once he relocated he changed the name from Chris Orla which is a combination of his brother’s name and his middle name, to simply Orla.

Orla actually saw its greatest boom during the height of the pandemic in 2020, when he started changing the way he packaged his pieces, with awesome artistic boxes and bags to go along with his accessories and clothing. He was able to customize and sell over 200 boxes with accessories and sweaters and jackets. He was also the recipient of The Nevada Arts Council Artist Grant.

He creates from experience, whether it’s his or someone else’s. He makes what he feels, when he feels it; from Art Pieces, to Accessories, to Re-Purposed Clothing, to Artistic Keep Sake Boxes to Cozy Bookreader Sweaters. His art is more than just writing on some material or adding a pocket on a dress. He’s deep. Through all of his vast research of new extraordinary people or works to highlight through his pieces, he’s learned a lot and says, his art is always growin’.

Hey says, I’m a black man in this version of America, as free as I possibly can be. Bein’ fortunate enough to give God glory after, is how I create.

Bobby’s Brand, Orla Worldwide is the collection of an artist with no limits. He can pretty much do anything artistically designed. He is a creative by nature, an artistic therapist, who deserves to have his work displayed to the masses.

When the world is falling apart around you, when depression and anxiety consume many, ART is inspiration, it’s encouraging, it’s honoring, it’s calming and that is who Big Bobby B is and what an Orla piece represents. It’s Healing.
