MISSION, VISION, & VALUES
...
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to create small batch and made-to-order apparel that inspires our community to embrace themselves, embrace each other, spread sunshine, and live with intention.
At Liv’s House, we want to buy clothes not because today’s influencer bought them, but because they make us happy. We want to wear clothes not because the world tells us that they’re ‘in’, but because of the way that they make us feel. Styles and fads will come and go, but a quality piece that brings you joy is here to stay - because confidence, happiness, and making a difference are always in style.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to become a force of good and a force of change within the fashion industry and the consumer market at large.
Right now, there are so many ethical issues facing the fashion industry, including unfair labor practices, overproduction and overconsumption, unsustainable means of production, theft of intellectual property, and more. We want to show consumers and companies alike that there is another way, and that fashion and ethics do not have to remain mutually exclusive. We can make fun, beautiful, and high-quality things to wear, while also being a net positive to the community around us.
OUR VALUES
WHAT ARE VALUES?
Values are principles or standards of behavior, a judgment of what is important in life. While there are so many important principles that guide our business and our lives, here at Liv’s House, our top six priorities are acceptance, individuality, authenticity, compassion, sustainability, and community.
ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance means loving others for exactly who they are, especially when they have different lifestyles, beliefs, goals, or appearances than ourselves. It means giving the space for other people to live their own truths, and learning and growing from our differences. Acceptance is finding peace with the qualities that set us apart, and focusing on the qualities that bring us together. At Liv’s House, when we say that all are welcome, we mean it. Come on in!
INDIVIDUALITY
Individuality is the qualities of ourselves that distinguish us from others. If everyone was exactly the same, this world would be a lot less interesting—our differences are all beautiful, and should be celebrated! Embracing your individuality means flaunting those things that set you apart from the crowd. It’s not always an easy thing to do, and celebrating the qualities that make us different can encourage others to do the same and feel more at home in their own skin. Happiness, self-worth, and confidence all stem from welcoming our individuality.
AUTHENTICITY
Authenticity means representing your own nature and beliefs, being fully true to yourself in everything that you say and everything that you do. In today’s world, it can be easy to fall in line with the status quo, or portray ourselves as something that we are not. However, real happiness can only be found when you are embracing your true self and showing the world exactly who you are and what you stand for. Authenticity means accepting every part of yourself, and having the bravery and confidence to share the real you with the world around you.
COMPASSION
Compassion is to both recognize the experience of others, and to then take action to inspire a change in their lives. While concern, empathy, and condolence recognize what others are going through, compassion takes that a step further, and gets involved. Compassion is seeing where help is needed, and then extending that helping hand, making a difference in others’ lives, our own lives, and the world around us. At Liv's House, we see where help is needed, and we take action whenever we can.
SUSTAINABILITY
The world that we live in is so beautiful, so breathtaking, so giving, and so bountiful. We want to keep it that way! Straight from the textbooks, sustainability means fulfilling the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations, and finding a balance between economic growth, environmental care, and social well-being. The actions that we take today directly impact the experiences that we have tomorrow, and that our children will have decades from now. We want to be a net positive in the world around us, and find sustainable solutions for the things that we love. Learn more about how we work to be sustainable here.
COMMUNITY
Community is the feeling of togetherness that comes from social connection and provides a sense of belonging and happiness. There is so much that we each gain from the communities around us, and so much that we can do to give back. We want to foster a community of people focused on making a difference in the world around them, growing as individuals, and encouraging others to do the same. There is nothing in this world that can replace genuine connection, and nothing that cannot be accomplished when like-minded (and un-like-minded!) people come together for a common purpose.
