was founded out of a combination of my passion and love of fashion, along with my life long dream of creating a fashion brand that reflects my deep cultural connection to the community in which I was raised.

I was raised in a small town in central Virginia by a proud, hardworking single mother, during a time when there were not a lot of opportunities for individuals who looked like me.

During my early years, I always admired the kids who had the nice shoes and clothes; however, growing up In subsidized housing, my mother could not always afford to buy me the shoes and clothes that I would see my schoolmates wearing, but God knows she tried. I decided back then that I would one day start a fashion brand that was not only affordable, but great quality as well.

Here at Respect For Life Apparel we are committed to not only building a great company, through our creative styles and designs, but delivering excellent service - while actively contributing to and building up our community.

To all of our current and future customers, your support is greatly appreciated, and I will never take your support for granted.

Sincerely,

Isaac Cottoms
