its a hoodie celebration
Ladies, gentlemen, and hoodie people across the world, it is with great pleasure that I officially announce the launch of hoodiepeople.com, a great place for fresh hoodies online. Over the last three months of hard work this idea has evolved into something real. hoodiepeople.com is rooted in the social web and aims to be much more than an online store; our goal is to be the source and destination for hoodies and the people who love them.
Our mission is to provide customers with fresh hoodies that bring warmth, comfort and style for years to come, while continually discovering and promoting new styles to keep you looking good.
Shopping online has been a major part of the web since the early days, but lately the web has become a much more fun and social experience, where ideas, news, and even hoodies, spread quickly around the world through social connections. The three founders, Hasan, Akio, and Aaron grew up and went to school together in the San Francisco Bay Area and share a common interest in fashion, culture, business, and the social web. This company, too, got started from a simple comment between friends which and has since taken on a life of its own. Many other friends, new and old, have contributed their encouragement, expertise, and time to make this all come together. Our thanks go out to our families, friends, and partners around the world that have helped us.
Being a Bay Area based company, the current brand selection partners reflect the eclectic and divergent styles that flourish and define this unique region. We proudly feature hoodies from the legendary urban artist collective Upper Playground, and local SF based Lady Noir, which offers mod-inspired designs with a splash of sexy. Looking beyond the Bay, hoodiepeople has partnered with San Diego based Jedidiah Clothing to lead our surf category. Jedidiah is a company rooted in love, with a deeply inspiring mission and record of taking direct action to help others. The inspiration we draw from really cool hoodies is elevated to the next level by the people, companies, and community with which we are able to represent and be a part of.
Over the next months and years we will continue along our path of building our small startup into a world class business. We are anxious to get your feedback and welcome all ideas and suggestions. If you would like to connect, please drop us a line at team@hoodiepeople.com.
