Sometimes, the path to your true calling isn’t a straight line. It was eight years ago, I was sitting at my desk at an engineering company absolutely hated what I did for a living. I was doing a nine to five reporting to somebody higher up. I was fresh out of school with all these ideas wanting to make an impact on the industry. However, it was like joining the old boys club. Idea's weren't flowing, the processes they had going on were the same processes they had 20 years ago. The repetitive nature of the work and the lack of innovation left me yearning for something more impactful and creative. It wasn’t just about the nine-to-five grind—it was about not seeing the potential to truly make a difference or pursue my passion. That's when I realized I wasn't built for that lifestyle - to crunch numbers all day and report to somebody higher up. I knew there was a bigger purpose in my life than sitting at the desk. Fitness had always been a significant part of my life. What started as a workout routine evolved. Initially, I considered becoming a personal trainer, but realized I lacked the logistical and data skills needed. It was around this time that I encountered a successful brand owner in California who was thriving creatively and on their own terms. This encounter was the spark I needed. Driven by a desire to create something meaningful, I launched RVL Apparel—a brand that combines clean, versatile clothing with the functionality needed for daily wear and gym activities. The idea was simple but powerful: to offer high-quality apparel that stands up to the demands of an active lifestyle while looking great. Starting RVL Apparel wasn’t just about changing careers; it was about following my passion and building something from the ground up. It’s been an incredible journey of growth and learning, and I’m grateful for every challenge and victory along the way. Work Hard. Stay Humble. Steve Liang

F*CK CANCER. A bold expression, for a topic we feel strongly about. We launched our F*ck Cancer campaign a few years back in support of a of a close friend of ours who received a diagnosis. Although he won his fight, the battle with cancer is far from over. 100% of the proceeds raised from the sale of these shirts will go towards cancer research, patient care, and support. Purchase your shirt today in support at https://lnkd.in/gk_BTbc5. #RVLApparel #FuckCancer #CancerAwareness

Over the past four years, we've had the incredible journey of moving to three different locations, each time adapting and growing. From storage rooms to warehouses and now to a storefront, each step has been a privilege and a testament to growth and resilience. Today, we're thrilled to announce that we’ve finally settled into our new space! This Warehouse represents not just a new address, but a milestone in our journey. Here, we’ll handle product shoots, team meetings, and pack orders more efficiently. We’re deeply grateful for all the support we’ve received along the way. Each move has been a new chapter in our story, and we’re excited to continue writing it from this new, (semi) permanent location. Feel free to drop by and visit us at 15919 116 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5M 3W1! Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to new beginnings and continued growth! #RVLApparel #NewBeginnings #Growth #Milestone
