TRY TO BECOME NOT A MAN OF SUCCESS, BUT TRY RATHER TO BECOME A MAN OF VALUE. —Albert Einstein, 1955
History The feelings of wisdom, ethereal intangibility, and a humble, but profound intelligence are the calling cards of the Man of Value brand. Established in the winter of 2011-2012, Man of Value is a strictly fashion company that strives to bring quality goods to the intellectual man of today’s society. To mark the beginning of MoV, we are first launching our accessory line in hopes of garnishing enough attention to release a clothing line in the near future. The brand was created through the personification of Albert Einstein. Einstein was a man of extraordinary curiosity, extreme passion and an unrivaled humbleness. Through his unwavering passion for knowledge and dedication to unraveling the mysteries of the universe, Einstein’s name has become a word synonymous to genius in many households across the world. At Man of Value we try and replicate his ingenuity through the products we sell. We have adopted the tagline “Of Wit and Wisdom”, which, to us, is much more than a tag. “Of Wit and Wisdom” is the code we at MoV live by everyday and is an integral part of the products we sell. You may also be wondering about the origin of our name and this is as good a place as any to tell the story. The name Man of Value is derived from one of Einstein’s most famous quotes which reads, “Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.” In life, Einstein was a physicist and his studies revolved mostly around the motion of molecules. “Man of Value” was then shortened to the acronym MoV and is pronounced as “move”.
