Our Why

The purpose behind 1982 is to spread love through fashion. It is our belief that we were placed here to be salt and light, to spread the flavors of peace and love, and to shine. What better way to do this than to use what we love... Fashion!! The founder of 1982 was a military kid and has literally lived all over the US and Japan. This gave her a unique taste and spin on fashion and also a creative way of sourcing. Throughout all of this her love for high quality fashionable pieces that are not common remained constant. 1982 came about incidentally by selling through second-hand platforms. With each purchase, the founder would include affirmations in various forms to lift the buyers' spirits or remind them of their worth. The overwhelming response showed not necessarily a void, but that people needed a reminder sometimes. It is our goal here at 1982 to do just that. We aim to provide high quality fashion that not only feels good on the outside, but also makes you feel good inside! We are hoping to expand, add platforms, and collaborate with others who share in this vision!!
