Introduction to Madhappy®
Launched in Los Angeles in 2017 by founders Noah and Peiman Raf, Mason Spector, and Joshua Sitt, Madhappy® Clothing is a lifestyle and apparel brand built around the philosophy of optimism — both personal and communal. From the start, the label has blended streetwear, mental health awareness, and community-building, with proceeds supporting mental health initiatives via the Madhappy Foundation. Their message: clothing designed to uplift, through bright designs and inspirational content.
As of mid‑2025, Madhappy continues growing with flagship stores (e.g. West Hollywood opened November 2023) plus seasonal pop‑ups in cities like New York, Aspen, and Miami.
