About us

Why we do what we do...


Welcome to Have Empathy — where kindness meets purpose.

At Have Empathy, we believe that how we shop can change lives. Every purchase you make supports something bigger than fashion: it fuels compassion, uplifts communities, and gives back to people in need. That’s why 20% of our profits are donated to reputable charities and organizations that make real, meaningful impact.

Our journey started with a simple idea: what if everyday purchases could be more than just clothes — what if they could be a force for good?

I’m Mathias, a young entrepreneur who’s passionate about connection, creativity, and helping others. I grew up along the West Coast of Canada and the United States, and I’m deeply grateful for the support and opportunities life has given me. I wanted to build something that spreads that gratitude outward — something that turns everyday style into everyday empathy.

Why We Do What We Do

We know that not everyone has the financial freedom to make large donations — but most people can afford to buy a shirt, a tote, or a mug. With that in mind, Have Empathy was created to make giving accessible and joyful.

Every time you choose one of our products:

  • You wear kindness on your sleeve (literally),
  • You contribute to causes that matter,
  • And you help shine a spotlight on people and communities who need support.


We reinvest the rest of our profits into building the brand, creating more meaningful products, and sharing stories that inspire empathy — because every story matters.

Our Promise

We’re committed to:

Transparency — we tell you exactly how your purchase gives back.

Impact — we're partnering with trusted charities doing real work.

Heart-centered commerce — kindness isn’t a trend; it’s our foundation.
