UNCONVENTIONAL
Building something different is the first step in building something better. We start with blank slates and experiment in methods that’s betrays industry standards. Using unconventional methods we build unconventional products that innovates. We believe that being unconventional is the novel and better way to navigate this homogenous world, to do what others not dare to do. We build gears that none are familiar but also right. We also approach to outdoor itself unconventionally, we don’t believe in hardships, hierarchy, or proving one's self, we preach belief in the spirit of Earth.
RAW
Equipment and gears should never be the restriction of the wearer, as they should only be the aid on the path to the destination. We build reliable products with functions that help us customer reach the rawest, dirtiest and wildest places on Earth without ever having to worry. We hope to see of our gears up with mud, dirt, scratches and memories. We present the rawest form of the outdoor, whether it's the joy, danger or calmness, without bias.
CURIOSITY
Our ability to maneuver our mortal flesh to the needs of our will, and break free of the physical constraints set by the universe is what makes us human. However, just like any man/woman needs a safe haven, or any adult who still seeks his/her parents. The connection with nature deeply rooted in us often call us home. Spirituality is what we use to embody this rooted connection between Mother Nature and us.
SERENDIPITY
The most memorable part of an adventure is always that one wrong turn off the path, where what awaits will amaze. Mistakes and accidents often are the driving force behind our adaptability and the reason we break free from mediocracy. Embracing the unexpected in a world where countless combinations can lead to innumerable outcomes that will guide us forward.
A SHORT
INTRODUCTION
Founded in 21st Century, We aim to bring back faith in mother nature. By using forefront textile technologies, thoughtful aesthetics, sophisticated and innovative craftsmanship, as well as circular models, we combine aesthetic and technicality to create versatile outdoor adventure apparels that help disciples to embark on their return to nature. We strive to help neo-outdoors people appreciate the adventure, rawness, tranquility and spirituality that nature has to offer. We believe that access to an unaltered natural environment is a birth right to all living being, and with that we believe nature is not a daunting foreign realm that has to be conquered, but a familiar home that we can simply return to.
