The Story Behind Madhappy

Founded in 2017 in Los Angeles by Noah Raf, Peiman Raf, Mason Spector, and Joshua Sitt, Madhappy Clothing emerged as a streetwear brand with a bigger purpose: spreading optimism and mental health awareness through fashion . From the beginning, the brand centered on positivity—embracing the highs, lows, and in‑betweens of mental health, and inviting customers to join a supportive community.

The Madhappy Foundation directs 1% of sales toward mental health initiatives, partnering with organizations like The Jed Foundation and Vanderbilt’s Pediatric Psychiatric Fund. Pop‑up activations and stores have doubled as spaces for panels, well‑being workshops, and engaging installations like “_ makes me Madhappy” walls .
