Noah is a men’s clothing brand started by Brendon Babenzien right in the heart of Soho, with its flagship store on Mulberry Street.

Additionally, they donate to lots of causes they believe in and aren't afraid to speak their mind as a brand. On the products end, they have an array and are known for their very creative and fun patterns on their simple silhouettes. Just like most brands, they also have staple pieces, like their winged-foot logo that you are more than likely to see when roaming the streets of NYC.
