Our Story & Our Why
Our Why
Peculiar People exists to make living the gospel visible. While serving as a missionary in 2023, I saw how a simple question about what we were wearing could open real conversations about Christ. Most members want to share the gospel—they just don’t always know how to start. Our apparel solves that: reverent, minimalist temple designs that carry personal covenant meaning and naturally invite, “What’s that on your shirt?” We make pieces you’ll actually wear—so your testimony can show up in everyday moments.
In short: Wear your faith. Spark a conversation. Begin conversion.
