About Us

The People’s Republics, LLC is an apparel company based around celebrating the unique characteristics of progressive cities, starting with Portland, OR. We are dedicated to social, environmental, and economic initiatives that benefit the people and the planet.

We support local, like-minded businesses and non-profits through promotion, sponsorship, donation, and the sale of a hip line of clothing. Last year we gave back to Focus The Nation, a national non-profit who engages and coaches student leaders into clean energy careers. It has yet to be determined which organization we will donate to this year but we will make sure they’re doing good things for the world!

We are building a network of communities proud and committed to wearing our clothing, celebrating their city and working to create lasting change through collaboration and unity.

Join the movement!

Co-Founder – Jen Forti

PROP was co-founded by local artist Jennifer Forti.  Jen wanted to create well-designed, responsibly sourced and stylish clothing with a conscience and a message: “Community makes all the difference.  When you wear PROP, you are not only helping to give back to the community, you are affirming everything that makes Portland a haven for artists, thinkers, nurturers and all who want a better world.

Add your voice to the republic! Let’s celebrate your city, your people, and unite to create a model for real change.
