About WithoutAdore
WithoutAdore was founded in 2022 by Miguel Atabug.
I started WithoutAdore as a creative outlet. At the time, I wasn't thinking about building a brand—I just wanted a way to express thoughts and emotions that were difficult to put into words. Over time, those ideas turned into garments, and those garments turned into collections.
Every collection begins with a feeling, memory, or experience. Some are inspired by moments of growth, while others come from periods of uncertainty, loss, nostalgia, or hope. Clothing has always felt personal to me, and I wanted to create pieces that carry meaning beyond the fabric itself.
The visual identity of WithoutAdore is inspired by the way emotions shape our memories. The images we hold onto, the people we miss, the moments we replay in our heads—those experiences influence every collection we create. Our goal isn't just to make clothes. It's to create pieces that people can connect with and see a part of themselves in.
Whether you're a skater, artist, musician, student, or someone who simply appreciates thoughtful design, WithoutAdore is for you. We focus on creating garments with intention, where every detail contributes to the story being told.
Giving Back
WithoutAdore was created during one of the hardest times in my life.
In November of 2021, my father was hospitalized and diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Cancer. During that period, designing clothing became an escape. It gave me something to focus on when everything else felt uncertain. What started as sketches and ideas during late nights eventually became the foundation for WithoutAdore.
Today, I'm grateful to say that my father is healthy, back home, and living a normal life.
Watching him go through that experience showed me how important medical research, treatment, and support systems are for patients and their families. It also reminded me how fortunate we were to have people around us during such a difficult time.
Because of that experience, 10% of all profits from WithoutAdore are donated to the NET Research Foundation. Their work helps fund research and treatment advancements for neuroendocrine cancer patients and provides hope for families navigating similar challenges.
If you'd like to learn more or contribute directly, you can donate through the NET Research Foundation.
Thank you for supporting WithoutAdore. Every purchase helps us continue creating meaningful garments while giving back to a cause that has had a lasting impact on my life and my family.
