About the Mantra is Freedom

The Mantra is Freedom is the brainchild of Julian D. Legrand. Mantra is an idea that has been over 10 years in the making and finally took shape in the website and blog you see today. The Mantra is Freedom is all about taking the steps it takes to find your freedom in this life, whatever that may be.

The Mantra is Freedom is split into two main sections: The Blog and The Shop.

The Blog: There’s no specific topic or theme that we box ourselves into other than the idea that freedom is the ultimate goal.

You’ll find my journey for a Grand Adventure documented in this section and I’ll write about my journey for achieving my three freedoms: Financial Freedom, Physical Freedom and Spiritual Freedom. I’ll do my best to be as vulnerable as I can with you and give you an unadulterated and unfiltered view into my life, personal/professional struggles and also, blessings willing, my successes.

The Shop: The premise is simple, I only make the clothes I would want to wear myself. That means sourcing quality materials and fabrics. Most products will be available in limited runs with a few exceptions. No spoilers, but consider subscribing below to stay up-to-date on new drops as they become available.

About the Author

Julian Legrand was born in Toronto, Canada, but considers himself a world citizen or in other words: homeless. He’s been blessed with the opportunities to live in Denmark, China, Taiwan, Germany and Mexico and continues to be an avid traveler with over 35 countries visited. He lives primarily in Canada, splitting time between Toronto and Montreal, and snowbirding to warmer countries in the winter. He has his MBA from the Ted Rogers School of Business (Toronto Metropolitan University) and works in technology, but his passions are in travelling, meeting/learning from people, food and ingredient sourcing and preparation, as well as music and creative writing. He is consistently exploring new passions, the most recent of which are visual arts, but his hunger for life is always paving new paths to explore.
