About Us

The Offensive Vegan is a cruelty free, vegan apparel company with attitude. We focus on the message, without concerning ourselves with pc terms. The Offensive vegan seeks to offend and provoke thought in those individuals who offend us, because we believe staying silent is equal to complicity. We also believe that the word Fuck can catch people's attention enough that they might actually read the thing that contains the word fuck, and it might spark thoughtful conversations.

The Offensive Vegan brand was born of a dream that Derrick Domore had when he initially went Vegan. His dream was nothing spectacular, he  just wanted to start a t-shirt company and he thought he had good ideas. With that in mind, he did nothing with his ideas. Instead,he did what most people do, he focused on other responsibilities and put his dream on hold in the deep recesses of his mind, all but forgetting that he had such a dream. A little over a year later, he met his now co-founder of The Offensive Vegan, soulmate, and love of his life (yes also the author of the about us) Jennifer Ferris. If Derrick believed he had good ideas before, he had no idea how great they could be when he coupled his ideas with his partner's incredible wit and artistic talent. 

Prior to the summer of 2018, Derrick and Jennifer attended the Pasadena Vegan Beer and Food Festival. They drove over night 16 hours to attend this festival and were not disappointed in the beer, or the food, or the cider, or the beer (yes we meant to say beer twice, 3 times now if you're counting, because Beer! Oops that's 4). After having several vegan beers, and having several vegan ciders, they decided to wander around and look at the articles for sale. They found themselves discussing the lack of creativity and how everything for sale was so politically correct and they thought if you were going to wear something that said something, it should SAY SOMETHING. Since Vegan's are known as pushing an agenda any way, we wanted our shirts to elicit a response from the person reading them. So, on our 16 hour drive home from Pasadena (not the same day as the beer, because we are responsible vegans)  the idea of The Offensive Vegan went from a dream Derrick had, to the potential of a reality. The more we discussed ideas, the more we realized that we had a company that had potential to make a difference by creating thought provoking apparel. 

We believe in giving a voice to the voiceless, by standing up for the innocent beings that are exploited on a daily basis. So stand up with us, and offend the offensive!
