“About Age
Before I was able to shine light on age!
The team had to become focus, grounded and completely ready to embark on this golden road into the future.
Age is a global lifestyle brand that exemplifies power, sexy, retro, fresh & bold, With a lot of progressive ideals with a seductive effect, and often minimal, as well as aesthetic.
We seek to thrill and inspire our audience while using provocative imagery and striking designs to ignite the senses.
- Founded / Established in 2012 by Aliy N. Menrel
“ I have managed to built my reputation as a leader in the pool of America’s Culture Trends, while staying true to myself through all our clean aesthetic, innovative designs & ideas that has yet to come.
Age was never just a clothing line, but only so much more!
During the time of 2013 up into 2017 our numbers reached above a 97.47%
By 2018- 2019 Age bounce rate became 34.57% and it was time to step out into helping make “Others Health, Their Wealth” and with that being said. I gather a team of people I had faith in, to helping me push the vision i could only see. In June my team had quit their regular jobs to come make my idea of bringing pdx more of what is loved, admired and appreciated here. “Organic Great Tasting Food” and so we agreed to make dishes based off what we felt pdx would enjoy from the minds of our diverse team.
When we reached 2020, we felt we had to give back more than EVER before for all our blessings of what we had, So we decided to make every product free shipping into the end 2021, in the process to help America save money, along with becoming more serious about being more effective in disinfecting everything with an “Anti Alvin Product” before packaging & shipping it off to you and your family, because at Age you are our family and we weren’t gonna let a “virus” change that.
At this moment in 2021 we feel with how extreme covid 19 is, we will take 3 days out a week to clean down everything before cooking for you, the people (our family). during the days of prep, cleaning, disinfecting the floor/kitchen as a whole.
Its 2022 and times are changing more with us pushing safety in the products that we decide to ship, but with inflation and increases in prices we decided to not raise our own prices, while marking more things on sale/placing in the vault to make room for the new.
May 2023: I decided to locked Age based off the high demand of shipping and me doing it all by myself burnt me out faster than a rain storm.
It was the rush, making, waiting, labeling, disinfect, packaging, and shipment all before accepting any payment.
After locking Age Oct. 19 2023 - April 30 2024 i had time to create and live life on the lack of demanding customers, before deciding on AGE becoming active again (May. 1 2024).
Everyday before the reboot of AGE, I woke up sketch the ideas from my dreams or in my head at the time. On garage band time to time along with falling into my studies on becoming a veterinarian student at Penn State.
When i created the 503herb THC free blunt that had the similar effects to weed, that could not effect the brain cells the same way on June 2023. I later went to every weed store in Oregon and even traveled to La in hope.
You guessed it, I was rejected based off this being a PROBLEM like he stated, so than i returned back to Portland. I went deeper into my dog studies when i came across a notebook of all my sisters notes from the FASHION EDX COURSE she did while staying with me over the summer. After reading it all i was inspired to come back to with a bunch of my own clothing ideas for the Anti- line i begin creating 2013/2014.

The Idea
The idea for this era we are in of June 2024, I will create 20 pieces / looks that hasn’t hit a red carpet yet or probably ever will.
