About Us

Welcome to Mountain Markdown – a brand born from the love of adventure, nature, and a passion for creative expression.

Our journey began humbly on eBay, where we started experimenting with unique designs and concepts for clothing. What began as a side project quickly grew into something much bigger, thanks to our passion for blending art with fashion. After gaining some traction with our early designs, we expanded to Etsy, where our hoodie collections found their home with fellow adventurers and creatives.

Now, after three years of production, we’ve decided to build our own space – right here on Mountain Markdown. Each piece in our collection is the result of hours of careful work, starting as hand-drawn sketches inspired by the world around us. These sketches are brought to life through advanced computer graphic applications, allowing us to create vivid, nature-inspired designs that resonate with our love for exploration.

Inspired by Nature, Powered by Creativity

We are proudly based in California, where we draw inspiration from the diverse landscapes that surround us – from the towering peaks of the Sierra Nevadas to the rugged coastlines. Our adventures take us across the country, visiting breathtaking mountain ranges, serene national parks, and everything in between. Every journey fuels our creativity, and every design tells a story of these awe-inspiring travels.

A Design for Every Adventurer

At Mountain Markdown, we believe that everyone deserves clothing as bold and unique as the landscapes that inspire them. Our apparel is designed with care, crafted from premium materials, and made to reflect the beauty of the natural world. Whether you're gearing up for your next adventure or simply want to stand out with a statement piece, we have something for you.

The Process

It all starts with a vision, often sparked during our travels. These moments of inspiration turn into hand-drawn sketches, which are then reimagined using cutting-edge digital design tools. The result? Eye-catching, detailed artwork that brings the colors and textures of nature into wearable form.

Our prints are not just garments – they are a reflection of a lifestyle. From vibrant abstract sunsets to tranquil mountain scenes, every design is crafted to capture the essence of the outdoors.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We invite you to explore our collection and join us in celebrating the beauty of the natural world, one design at a time.

  • Mountain Markdown started with a simple idea:

    to create clothing that reflects the beauty of nature and the thrill of adventure. What began as a small experiment selling on eBay quickly grew into a passion for producing unique designs that resonate with fellow explorers and creative souls.

  • We value creativity, quality, and sustainability

    Each design is thoughtfully created to inspire adventure and bring a piece of the outdoors to your everyday life. Our goal is to offer clothing that combines comfort, durability, and style, while also supporting eco-conscious production practices.

  • Founded in California,

    Mountain Markdown was inspired by our travels across the U.S., from towering mountain ranges to serene national parks. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts and artists, we wanted to create clothing that reflected these incredible landscapes, turning our sketches into wearable art using cutting-edge graphic design tools.

  • Our Process

    It all starts with a moment of inspiration – a striking view, a quiet trail, or a colorful sunset. From there, we begin sketching, pouring our experiences into the art. Once the design is ready, we use advanced digital techniques to refine and enhance it, creating a print that’s both modern and timeless. The result? Clothing that combines high-quality materials with bold, nature-inspired art.

What We Believe

  • At Mountain Markdown, we believe in more than just creating beautiful clothes. We believe in protecting the places that inspire us. That's why we're committed to eco-conscious production practices. We aim to minimize waste and use sustainable fabrics where possible because we believe that fashion shouldn't come at the cost of the environment.

  • We also believe in clothing that fits your lifestyle – whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a dreamer, or simply someone who wants to stand out in the crowd. Our designs are made for everyone who values creativity, adventure, and self-expression.
