joyful Story

Hi! I'm Mary Turner, the owner of Joyful Apparel. I started this company in 2020 during my freshman year of college, working out of my dorm room. Today, I’m based in Dallas, Texas, where I’m still on my personal journey, learning and growing, but always striving to share the joy found in Christ.

The idea for Joyful Apparel began with a vision of bringing light into a world that can often feel dark. As James 1:2-3 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” This scripture inspires the heart of our mission: to create merchandise that brings joy not only to our customers but also honors God.

I even came up with a catchphrase, “Pass on a Smile,” in hopes that when people see it, they’ll smile and pass that joy forward.

I hope you all enjoy Joyful Apparel!
