OUR BRAND

Are you someone who views the world through summer-tinted lenses? Can you seamlessly slip into the teenage-summer-break version of yourself? Are you picturing your old Facebook statuses right now? We know you're probably cringing...old Facebook statuses will do that to you. We're looking for people who are invested in the teen mindset, who get Gen Z and who want to empower teens to be their most confident, comfortable and capable selves. We're more than a clothing brand --¬¬ we're a platform for amplifying teen stories. We believe in living like it's summer all year long, because to us, summer isn't a season. It's a state of mind.
