Founded in 1993 by brothers Kevin and Keith Johnson alongside Franzi Fu after a backpacking trip across Asia, elope (an acronym for "Everybody's Laughing On Planet Earth") began as a purveyor of silly hats sold at a Colorado mall kiosk. Today, the brand has evolved into a cornerstone of the costume and cosplay community, specializing in whimsical wearables, licensed accessories, and imaginative apparel. Rooted in a mission to spread joy and laughter, the brand's design approach prioritizes playful creativity and durable construction over disposable novelty.
