The WHY behind NOT FROM MARS
Hello, I'm JP, and explaining the origins of NOT FROM MARS is crucial to me. First and foremost, I have a deep passion for high-quality clothing and footwear.
However, what I don't appreciate is the crazy markups that often accompany these products.
Having lived in both Los Angeles and now New York City, it was important to include both the boldness of NYC and the laid back chill attitude of LA into the brand.
And when I embarked on the journey of starting my own brand, I held onto a few guiding principles that I adhere to everyday. Foremost among them is my unwavering commitment to quality. I ensure that I source from only the finest factories, never compromising on the excellence of the products we offer.
My mission remains steadfast: to provide you, the customer, with unparalleled quality at the most reasonable prices possible.
Many people ask about the meaning behind NOT FROM MARS. It's actually quite straightforward. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I've never felt entirely at home with the societal norms that dictate behavior and identity. The notion that "men are from Mars" and should conform to certain stereotypes never resonated with me. This sentiment extends far beyond the LGBTQ+ community; countless individuals feel the pressure to conform to societal expectations.
Thus, NOT FROM MARS was born out of this desire to break free from societal molds and embrace individuality. It's about embracing who you are and rejecting the notion that there's a single "right" way to exist.
Now that you're familiar with my journey and the ethos behind my brand, I hope you feel empowered to be yourself. Welcome to the NOT FROM MARS community, where authenticity reigns supreme!
