Founded by brothers Alex and Mike Faherty, the brand was built on a lifelong dream to create clothing rooted in comfort, quality, and respect for the planet. From the beginning, Faherty has embraced a laid-back ethos inspired by surf culture and the beauty of nature, with a commitment to making pieces that last.
Dedicated to sustainability and transparency, Faherty uses organic, recycled, and lower-impact fabrics, continually working toward a more responsible future. With a focus on timeless design and uncompromising quality, the company ensures every garment reflects both craftsmanship and care for the environment.
Still family-owned and operated, Faherty is headquartered in New York and continues to grow across the United States, inspiring a community that values style, integrity, and a love for the outdoors.

“As a brand that thinks daily about our environmental impact, the use of plastic poly bags has always been a pain point for us… We are so thrilled that Vela invented a product that helps solve the plastic pollution problem of poly bags in the apparel industry.”
