Mango Fix owners reside in Northern California and are originally from the East Bay. The idea of opening an Island-Themed business was thought of in 2003, but due to their busy "western" lives, working full time positions, along with spending time with their family, Mango Fix was not established until 2006. The concept of trying to represent the Filipino culture through women, men, and youth apparel is what inspired the owners to start the business. They soon changed their minds to not just design apparel for the Filipino Islanders, but to also modify and cater to all Pacific Islanders such as the Polynesian culture. And though their clothing are "Island Themed", they still grab much attention from all ethnic and age backgrounds.

Many ask why the name Mango Fix? So many love and miss the essence of the tropical and exotic islands. Mangos are a very popular, tropical, juicy fruit of the Philippines. So the word "Mango" is to symbolize the "Islands". So here on the mainland/"the States", they would like to give you a fix-A Mango Fix-that Island Feel to remind you of the culture and how beautiful the Islands are.
Though there are many islander-type apparel businesses, Mango Fix continues to carry their own unique style. Unlike some of their competitors, they use American Apparel, a well-known and high quality brand, based out of downtown Los Angeles, for 90% of their products. They strive to keep their customers happy by making them feel comfortably hip, stylish, and yet still looking classy with that urban flavor-and of course, for the ladies...."Sophisticated-Sexy". Most importantly, we want our clients to be able to wear our clothing while they're out and about-and not to just have as a "souvenir" stashed somewhere in their closet.
Currently, the Mango Fix store can only be found online and at special vendor shows and ethnic festivals. They have been vendors at the Hula Me Ke Aloha Ho'ike in 2006 in Elk Grove, Sinag Tala 2006 in Sacramento, Pacific Rim Festival 2007 in Sacramento, Fiesta Filipina 2007 in San Francisco, Fil-Am Friendship Festival 2007 in Daly City, Barrio Fiesta 2007 in Stockton, Ia'oe e Ke la Hula Festival 2007 in Pleasanton, Kiki Raina 2008 in Merced, the 2008 Polynesian Festival in Foster City, Hawaiian May Day Festival 2008, the Pacific Rim Street Fest 2008, Pista Sa Nayon 2008 in Vallejo, Filipino Fiesta 2008 in Sacramento, Philippine Fiesta in Union City 2008, the Fil Am Friendship Festival 2008 in Daly City, Kababayan Festival 2008 at Great America-Santa Clara, Heiva i Reno 2008, and Pistahan S.F. 2008. The Mango Fix vision is to be recognized as a popular brand for all and to someday be available in major department stores worldwide.
