Our story:

We’re more than a clothing brand. We’re building a lifeline.

At Peace Culture, we don’t just design t‑shirts, we rebuild futures. Each piece is hand‑crafted in Ukraine by women displaced by war - mothers, creators, survivors - who deserve more than just survival. They deserve dignity, meaningful work, and renewed hope.

Our Story

Peace Culture Apparel began with a simple but powerful vision: to create clothing that reflects our faith and brings hope to those who need it most. Founded by two women balancing motherhood and ministry, our brand is rooted in the belief that fashion can do more than make a statement—it can make a difference.

Ira + Leah

  • Leah McGowan: Founder, designer, and heart behind the brand. Leah’s passion for ministry and creativity drives every collection.

  • Ira: Production supervisor in Ukraine, business strategist, and dedicated to creating a safe, family-friendly environment for our team of mothers.

Our Mission

We believe true peace comes from Jesus Christ (John 14:27), and we’re passionate about sharing that message through every design. But our mission goes beyond words on a t-shirt. Each piece is handcrafted in Western Ukraine by mothers displaced by war, providing them with meaningful work, dignity, and a future for their families.

How it Works

  • Purposeful Work: Every purchase supports women rebuilding their lives in Ukraine, offering stability and hope in the face of uncertainty.

  • Faith-Inspired Design: Our t-shirts feature original, faith-centered artwork created for comfort and style - oversized, relaxed fit, and made from high-quality cotton and elastane.

  • Community Impact: We’re committed to fostering a culture of hope, healing, and community - both for the women who make our products and the people who wear them.

Why we do what we do

We know it’s hard to find clothing that truly aligns with your values. That’s why we created Peace Culture Apparel - to connect your faith with your fashion and your purchase with real impact. When you shop with us, you’re not just wearing a message - you’re helping rebuild lives, restore dignity, and share peace where it’s needed most.

Whether you’re here to shop, share, or simply learn more, we invite you to become part of the Peace Culture story.
