About Us

RATHER YOU THAN US

Rather You Than Us®

Rather You Than Us is more than a brand, it’s a principle passed down early.

Instilled by my mother, it represents creating a circle of like-minded individuals and never settling for complacency. What began as a lesson became a way of life and eventually, this brand.

WHAT IT STANDS FOR

“Us” are those who want more out of life, always growing, always pushing forward.
“Them” is complacency, choosing comfort over progress.

This brand is for the ones who keep moving.

ROOTED IN SACRIFICE

My mother immigrated from El Salvador to the U.S. on her own, embodying resilience and sacrifice. She worked long hours while building multiple streams of income, from reselling clothing to hosting flower pop-ups in our old L.A. neighborhood.

Her mindset lives on through this brand.

WHY WE CREATE

Clothing carries life with it, the highs, the lows, the moments that change us.

Every piece we create is intentional. The lightning flag symbolizes those defining moments that shape who we become.

BUILT WITH INTENTION

All designs are created from the heart.

Each piece reflects what Rather You Than Us stands for...intention, growth, and refusing to settle for complacency. For the most part, every design is rooted in real moments, real emotions, and lived experiences, making each garment a reflection of the journey rather than just a product.

OUR BELIEF

Trends fade. Authenticity lasts.

We believe the biggest blessing comes from creating something you genuinely love and letting the right people find it.

THE LEGACY

Rather You Than Us exists to honor my late mother and stand for those who refuse complacency.

This is more than clothing.
It’s a reminder to always want more out of life.
