Our Story

THE BEGINNING

Hi, I’m Manuella Fortes, the founder of Worthy It. Our journey began with a vision rooted in faith, resilience, and community. From the start, I knew this brand had to be more than a store, it had to carry meaning, purpose, and hope.

The symbol of Worthy It, two fish and five loaves forming a grain stalk, reflects our foundation: preparation for uncertain times, unity in community, and trust in God’s providence. Just like in my own life, seasons of challenges led to growth, teaching me that even in scarcity, provision can be found, and that new beginnings always rise from brokenness.

THE DREAM

Worthy It was born out of a simple but profound desire: to create something that could connect people not just through products, but through a shared culture of faith and renewal.

We wanted to design pieces that carry a story, that spark conversations, and that remind people of hope and strength when they need it most. Much like how a small symbol, a leaf, a loaf, a fish, can hold deep meaning, our brand is built on the idea that the simplest things can bring restoration and inspire trust in something greater.

THE PURPOSE

Our mission is to reflect the beauty of resilience and the promise of renewal. Worthy It is more than a store; it’s a movement, a reminder that faith is alive, that community sustains, and that hope always has the last word.

We want every person who encounters Worthy It to feel connected to this message: you are not alone, you are provided for, and you are worthy of new beginnings.
