Over half a million Americans are living without shelter, and millions more without consistent access to everyday basics - hygiene products, clothes, personal care, and more. Meanwhile, so many companies thrive with unfathomable profits, without enough consideration for the folks right outside their doors that could really use some help.
We can do better. We believe you can have a great company and help your neighbors at the same time. We believe that consumers can be a direct part of the solution. Our mission is to provide a model in which our customers can effortlessly do their part to help homelessness in their community, while showing other companies that it’s possible to both make a profit and a tangible difference for our communities.
Justice and kindness. Lost Format promotes a business approach in which giving back is as easy as it is fun. We hope that our unique model encourages companies to follow our lead, creating a chain reaction of positive change.
Empowerment for all. Committed to putting people over profit, every purchase you make gives a homeless neighbor an essential they need and helps us grow our scope of services, including employment opportunities, case management, and advocacy efforts.
Soft, sustainable, and superior. We love our Earth, so we strive to find the softest sustainably-sourced material to make highest quality, most comfortable clothes possible.
Creative uniqueness and fun. Because otherwise life can be a drag.
When we decided to make socially conscious clothing, we decided to go all in. That’s why over 80% of our inventory is made with sustainable materials and processes, from factories all over the world that are committed to fair and safe workplace conditions. It’s well worth the investment - justice is timeless and goes beyond our own borders.
Chad, Ernie and Christian here, the team behind Lost Format. Many a night were spent in conversation about everyday injustices, and often we got back to the same topic - that some people just got a bad draw. Good people, good intentions, and just plain bad luck. So we started Lost Format, a company that gives necessities to the homeless community with every piece of the softest, most rad clothing we could come up with. Hop on this wild ride with us and change the world - for good.
