Founded in 2015, in a true rags-to-riches story, Paris Marchant and Lawrence Lees started Outcast with sheer grit, determination, and a shared dream, quickly turning their small venture into a globally recognized brand.

Paris, who faced a challenging battle with depression at a young age, found solace in building something of her own. Lawrence, navigating a similarly challenging path, knew the value of resilience. Together, armed with nothing but $2,000 and sheer determination, they embarked on a journey that would defy the odds.

Now, as we gear up to celebrate our 9th year, a far cry from selling bikinis out of a small apartment, Outcast is a story of resilience, hard work, and a refusal to be defined by its circumstances.

With every purchase made through our app and website, you’ll have the power to make a difference—at no extra cost. Whether it’s a new printed bikini, matching set for a night out, or the revenge dress that makes him wish he was never born, 1% of every order will benefit a cause of your choice.

At checkout, you’ll now be given the chance to choose one of three nonprofits, but it doesn't stop there. Each donation will contribute to tangible goals, allowing you to track the impact of your contribution in real-time.

We've chosen three nonprofits whose missions resonate deeply with Paris' mental health journey and, as a result, hold a special place in our hearts here at Outcast. With each donation, you’ll find tangible milestones and goals that, when achieved, will reset to ensure the largest impact.
