The Wall

Leave a note for a stranger.

Something kind, something true, something you needed to hear once. Notes stay up about a week, then make room for new ones.

Keep it kind. No names of other people, links, or contact info. Notes with hurtful words are blocked, and anything else that doesn’t belong gets taken down. Wall rules

Project 143: I love you means everybody

I love you means everybody.

A clothing & design label for human-to-human connection. Printed to order. Twenty percent of every sale goes toward a $10,000 donation.

No. 143 — Statement

We make clothes for people who say it first. Who text back. Who notice when someone goes quiet. Who believe every person in the room is owed the same unconditional respect — the stranger, the coworker, the one you don’t agree with. A shirt won’t fix anything. But it can start the conversation.

Prices in USD. Shipping is calculated at checkout. Drawings show placement and color; final print proofs will be photographed before launch.

The 143 Fund

Ten thousand dollars.
One sale at a time.

Twenty percent of the price of every piece is set aside the moment it sells. When the fund reaches $10,000, Project 143 donates it to a national nonprofit doing the long, unglamorous work of mental health support — making sure nobody goes through it alone.

We’ll name the organization here once we have their written approval to do so.

Every donation we make will be posted here with the date and the amount.

Project 143 is an independent clothing label, not a charity. Buying a piece is a purchase, not a tax-deductible donation.

Each square is $100. The first one fills with the first sale.

Why 143

I1

Love4

You3

One letter, four letters, three letters. 143 is an old pager code for I love you — a way to say it fast, without anybody else knowing.

We think it should be said out loud. Not only to partners and family, but as a default: to the person bagging your groceries, the kid who sits alone, the guy who’s gone quiet. Unconditional means no conditions.

Straight answers

When can I buy?

Drop 01 opens in January 2027. Get on the list below and you’ll hear first — one email when it opens, nothing else.

How is it made?

Every piece is printed to order after you buy it, so nothing sits in a warehouse waiting to be sold. Allow a few extra days for it to be made and shipped.

Where does the money go?

20% of every piece’s price goes into the 143 Fund, shown on every product. The rest covers making the piece, shipping, and keeping the label running.

What if something’s wrong?

Because each piece is made for you, we can’t take returns for size or a change of mind. If it arrives misprinted or damaged, email us a photo and we’ll make it right.

Get the first look.

One email when Drop 01 opens. No spam, no “last chance” countdowns.

If you’re not okay

You don’t need to buy anything to matter here. These people pick up.

Project 143 does not diagnose, treat, or replace licensed mental health care. If you might hurt yourself or feel unsafe, contact a crisis line or emergency services first.
