FAQ

What is Prosperous?
Prosperous is a Detroit streetwear label built on one principle: nothing is given, everything is earned. It began as founder Trendell Fordham's personal motivational streetwear, made to push discipline and growth, and grew into a full brand as people kept asking for it. The collection runs two lines. [EARNED] is heavyweight garment-dyed cotton essentials. [WORK] is performance athletic wear. Both are made for people who do the work.
Who is behind Prosperous?
Trendell Fordham, a Detroit designer. His background is in graphic design, sharpened by a streetwear master course through Complex and Parsons, and he builds Prosperous through his studio, Designing Solutions. The design, the print, and the photography are handled in-house. The brand was self-funded and grown on one thing: consistency.
What does "Earned, Not Given" mean?
It is the standard the brand is built on. Discipline over luck. Quality over speed. Clarity over noise. Every piece is made to hold up over the long term, released in limited runs, and designed to stand on its own without over-explanation. The clothes are a reminder to show up and do the work, even when no one is watching.
What sizes do you carry?
XS through 3XL across the range. Every product page has a size guide with exact measurements taken flat. Tees come in regular and heavy boxy fits. Shorts run women's letter sizing and men's waist sizing. If you are between sizes, size up for the heavy and cropped pieces.
What are the pieces made from?
The [EARNED] line is heavyweight combed cotton, garment-dyed for a lived-in finish. The [WORK] line is moisture-wicking performance fabric built to move and train in. Everything is built on premium blanks and finished with our own graphics.
Do you make men's and women's?
Both. Some pieces are unisex, like the active tee. The women's line has its own cuts: the Maple tee, the heavy crop, the short, and bike shorts. Same doctrine, same standard, cut for women.
How do your drops work?
Prosperous releases in numbered drops, and each drop is limited. When a drop closes it moves to the archive, and archived pieces do not return. If a piece is live it is available now. When it is gone, it is gone.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Orders are processed and shipped within 7 to 10 business days. Once your order ships you will receive a confirmation email with tracking. Delivery times can vary by location, and we are not responsible for delays caused by the carrier.
What is your return policy?
All sales are final. We do not offer refunds or exchanges, so review the product details and size guide carefully before you order. If an item arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the issue. Approved claims are resolved at our discretion.
Where are you based?
Detroit, Michigan. Prosperous was founded and is run by Trendell Fordham, built in the spirit of the city.
