About Us
Family owned, family values.
We’re a husband-and-wife team with a rich blend of creativity and style. With a background in animation and drawing, one half of us brings the power of visual storytelling to our designs. The other half, hailing from France, infuses each piece with a touch of French culture. Together, we create a unique American-French blend that defines the style we aim to achieve with each design. We started Forty Two Threads because we couldn’t find stylish options that resonated with our own philosophies about life, the universe, and everything in between. Our family, including our two incredibly creative kids, is the driving force behind our brand. We want to create designs that can be a part of your family too, suitable for all ages and perfect for parent-child matching sets.
Our Mission
Freedom of expression.
At Forty Two Threads, we’re not just about clothes; we’re about expression. Our mission is to offer graphic tees and sweatshirts that allow anyone to showcase their unique style, no matter their age. We believe in the power of positive vibes, uplifting messages, and intentional design. Our aim is to inspire and elevate, to help you express the fun, quirky, and even different sides of yourself.
Sustainability Matters
Our impact matters.
While we’re still on the journey to make every aspect of our brand as sustainable as possible, this mission is close to our hearts. We carefully seek out suppliers that align with our eco-friendly focus. For example, we’re proud to work with companies like Bella+Canvas, which uses 7x less water than the industry average. We’re committed to offering comfort, durability, and a smaller carbon footprint, one thread at a time.
The Designs
Designed and inspired by humans.
Our designs are more than just eye-catching; they’re conversation starters. Crafted with intention, each piece is a reflection of values that matter to us: self-love, kindness, and a deep respect for our planet. Inspired by the idea of tapping into your inner child, our styles are inclusive and resonate with every generation.
