Altar'd State

At the heart of Altar'd State is a culture deeply rooted in faith, community, and a foundational mission to 'Stand Out for Good.' Born from a simple plan sketched out in a coffee shop in 2009, founders Aaron Walters and Brian Mason envisioned a new kind of retail experience—one that was not just about fashion, but about making a tangible difference in the world. This desire to alter the state of the retail industry inspired the company's name and continues to be the driving force behind its every action. The company is more than just a retailer; it's a movement dedicated to empowering women and fostering a sense of community. The team is committed to creating a sanctuary for guests, a place of beauty from the inside out, where warm associates and thoughtfully curated products provide a respite from the everyday. This welcoming atmosphere is a core part of the brand's identity, ensuring that every person who walks through their doors or visits their site feels better for the experience.

The commitment to giving back is not an afterthought; it is woven into the very fabric of the company's identity. Through initiatives like Mission Monday, where 10% of net proceeds are donated to local charities, Altar'd State has contributed millions to organizations that support children and communities in need, both locally and globally. This philanthropic spirit is a shared value among the entire team, with associates encouraged and compensated for volunteering their time to enrich lives. The culture fosters personal and professional growth, offering unique benefits like paid sabbaticals and student debt repayment programs, demonstrating a genuine investment in the well-being of its employees. It's a dynamic and supportive environment where team members are encouraged to collaborate, innovate, and be part of a vibrant, fashion-forward community that is passionate about making a positive impact on the world.
