The journey…
2020 and 2021 ravaged our family like it did many American families. We suffered great loss in our families. It was so unbearable something we were not sure we would ever be able to heal from. As we moved forward in the healing process, supporting each other, holding each other up. We began to look around and see so many families have suffered loss like ours in one form or another.
As we searched for a way that we could all come together, we not only wanted to give back, we wanted to create a place where people could feel they were not alone… Team Rugged Us and Rugged Us emerged.
At that moment moving forward, though God’s grace and blessings our minds began to flood with ideas.
As we worked through each process to bring this all together, slowly we began to smile and laugh again, something we were not sure we would be able to do again.
Hoping to inspire others, and to share our family with yours, in so many of our original designs there is a piece of our hearts in them.
The very first shirt design came from one of those moments… As we rose up together arm in arm from the rubble, we devoted our lives to helping others and inspire change. “Jesus Saved My Life” is available for a limited time, and then it will be retired as a moment in time and history of the creation of our company and the beginning of our new lives. It represents so many things for so many people! May it bring joy and peace to your hearts.
Let the story begin as we began to build…
We have several artist in our family, many of our designs are hand painted original creations to inspire you.
We work hard on a daily basis to bring to you unique clothing and accessories! Many are one of a kind originals.
Thank you for visiting our site and sharing a moment in time from our family to yours. This is just a little of who we are. We are a woman owned company, a family owned company. Several of our family members have come together to help bring this all to life. Gods Blessings from our family to yours!
Together we can make a change, embrace life
And make the world a brighter place for all.
As we stand up arm in arm, let’s ignite change as we grow and share our hearts with the world. May you find strength, inner peace, encouragement… and yes, find a way to smile, laugh and celebrate life!
