About Us

Wear Your Story. Represent Your State.

Welcome to Rafes Market.

It started the way a lot of real ideas do - with frustration.

We were sitting at a kitchen table in a small town, looking for a gift that actually meant something. Not just another T-shirt. Not a slogan someone in New York wrote to sell to someone in Kentucky. We wanted something real. Something that felt like home.

But everything we found was either loud in the wrong way… or painfully generic.

So we opened a sketchbook.

We googled every state bird, every state flower, every flag design.

We stayed up way too late talking about where we came from - and what those places meant.

Not just “Texas” or “Alabama,” but the feeling of summers there. The accents. The state pride that doesn’t always fit into words.

That’s how Rafes Market was born.

We started with four states. Not because they’re the best (though we’d argue they might be), but because they meant something personal to us. We hand-picked the designs for each one - carefully layering meaning into every piece. A bird that actually lives in your backyard. A flower your grandma grew. A flag that flies over your high school.

And we made it all here. In the U.S.

No overseas stock. No fake branding. Just us.

And a vision that grew bigger with every person who messaged us saying:

“Hey, when are you doing my state next?”

So now we’re doing them all.

Every state. Every story. Every American who’s ever thought:

“I don’t just live here. I am here.”

Rafes Market is for the ones who still tear up during the national anthem.

For the ones who know the shape of their state better than their own handwriting.

For the ones who want to wear where they’re from — not as a trend, but as truth.

We’re not just another clothing brand.

We’re a living map of American pride.

And we’re proud you’re here.

Thanks for making Rafes Market part of your story.

Let’s build something worth remembering.
