On Sunday people do and wear what they want. Sunday is the ultimate symbol of personal preference. People play sports on Sunday, they do family BBQs on Sunday, they go out on Sunday or they decide to stay home on Sunday. On Sunday we are who we are.

If you can get inside someone’s Sunday as a brand, you’re forever in their heart.
From our first client conversation, we always used the example of people only wearing merchandise to mow their lawn or paint their house. Sunday is the complete opposite. We create company fashion that people proudly wear on Sunday.
