About
Richer Poorer is a clothing brand with a focus on high quality basics — comfortable enough for inside and stylish enough for outside. In 2010, Richer Poorer launched with socks targeted towards young male consumers. As the brand’s product line expanded and shifted, so did their following. Today their target audience is a more mature, mostly female demographic.
Audience shift
As the brand’s consumer base changed, Richer Poorer shifted their persona from beachy heritage to sophisticated and cool. One major thing remained the same — the brand’s root in SoCal culture. Comfort, inclusivity, and progressiveness are at the core of the brand’s values and ethos. The main challenge was to create something more upscale, but not alienating. Aspirational, yet approachable.
