about us

FORTYTWO LLC is an early-stage creative company that produces apparel, media, and digital products. Our mission is to create a fictional world that parallels reality in a way that highlights its flaws and beauties.

The origin of the brand stems from the famous sci-fi reference to "THE ULTIMATE QUESTION" and "The Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything". FORTYTWO is a version of the real world that looks routine from a distance but, with closer examination, acts more as a parody of the life we all live.

Each new season/collection is a sub-entity from the FORTYTWO Universe trying to make their mark on the "real-world". Each of these sub-entities have entirely new branding, products, content, characters, and personality.

Our job is to communicate the narrative of FORTYTWO by revealing the stories of each of its sub-entities, leaving hints along the way to piece all of their stories together.

We fulfill the majority of our domestic orders with USPS with 3-5 day shipping. International orders are fulfilled with DHL, taking 5-10 days for shipping. 

The pre-order process is estimated to take 6-9 weeks total, but can take as little as 4 weeks with no delays.

Pre-orders are a great opportunity for us to offer more quality products at competitive prices.

Once an item is listed for pre-order, customers are able to place their orders on our website at our discounted pre-order price. This discount will typically be 20% off or more of the products retail price.

Once the pre-order window has closed, we are able to move the item into bulk production. This stage typically takes 3-5 weeks, where we make sure all units produced are quality controlled and perfect for shipment. Once the units are shipped, we await the inventory as it clears through customs and travels to our Florida location. This process usually takes 2-4 weeks, but is subject to customs delays that we do our best to mitigate.

Finally, once the shipment arrives at our fulfillment location, we pack and ship your orders immediately, triple-checking to ensure the highest quality possible.

Absolutely! As long as the product has been received within 14 days, you can contact us to request a full refund (excluding shipping).

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer exchanges for color. However, we are able to offer exchanges for size based on availability. 

We're a small team hoping to create products and experiences that entertain and emotionally connect with you

Inspired by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the number 42 reveals itself in different ways in the FORTYTWO universe. How many hidden 42s have you seen?
