Founders Message
The Bean Grind is for people who survived shit and aren’t apologizing for it. When you wear our apparel you can look in the mirror and say to yourself, “I can associate. I ain’t the only MF who feels this way. I am not a weirdo. This is a brand that speaks my mind for me. I feel this, hard”. This lifestyle brand was invented by accident and is for recovery warriors, survivors of shit people don’t normally go through in a lifetime or even ten lifetimes, people who refuse to stay down, people who were silenced by powerful people and their systems, and for people who refuse to fold or bow down.
This isn’t a coffee brand, nor do we have your favorite vanilla bean anywhere in this bitch and we are NOT a coffee shop in Phoenix. Don’t get it twisted, we drink tons of coffee instead of booze now, but we do not offer it from a menu that was passed on to us by some corporate entity.
FYI this isn’t some basic Ross merch that’s smells like the Goodwill or mothballs, with soft and lame quotes, "LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH". This is the table nobody invited you to—where your past doesn’t matter and is so far out of relevancy it ain’t funny, your relapse doesn’t define you (and we don’t judge or care, ACTUALLY, your DOC number is irrelevant and your tattoos from head to toe tell a raw-ass story nobody needs to explain.
Every order is personal. Every message gets answered. Something’s wrong? I fix it. That’s how I operate. Word is bond.
The streetwear says what you can’t. The designs don’t hide. They speak your truth before you have to.
I have a fashion degree, and I stay ahead of what’s coming. You’re not wearing a trend. You’re wearing proof you’re still here.
This brand exists because I relapsed, fucked up over and over, rebuilt, and refused to disappear. I know rock bottom. I know what it takes to crawl back. I know fake shit. I see patterns before anyone else. I live my life and run my busiensses that way.
Patterns don't lie. And it is a pattern until the pattern is broken.
Big Love,
