The Philosophy Behind Madhappy
Before diving into the fashion, it's worth noting what makes Madhappy different. Launched in 2017 by co-founders Peiman Raf and Noah Raf, alongside Mason Spector and Joshua Sitt, Madhappy was designed to promote mental health awareness and create conversation around emotional wellbeing. The brand’s taglines—like “Local Optimist” and “The Future is Local”—highlight its commitment to positivity and community connection.
Every Madhappy drop isn’t just about apparel; it's about impact. A portion of proceeds often goes toward The Madhappy Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving mental health resources for youth and underserved communities.
