About Me |
|
| Water & Land constitute Mother Earth. WALA [WAter & LAnd] brand is about a person's balance with nature when sporting. WALA draws its inspiration from the Hawaiian lifestyle, where they use the island to sustain their heritage - a virtue that exemplifies the true meaning of coexistence. The island concept of civilization is about a balance in all areas, about taking, but also giving back.
We use Mother Earth in many ways: skating through her parks, riding her waves, hiking her mountains, or speeding down her land's frozen face. WALA endorses a person's goal of defying, and respecting, nature through sports. This positive balance ensures the experience for others in the future. WALA donates a portion of its sales to charities that preserve nature and wildlife. Our trademark of [respect your mother (TM)] is about respecting Mother Earth and all she gives us. As we say, "Respect Your Mother...You only Get One." Our History: WALA was founded by two friends with the same vision. Paul "Big Hats" Hatter [born & raised on the North Shore of Oahu] and stryker ::: aka Stryker Lampe [born & raised in S. California] wanted to create a true sporting and gear brand that was actually made / printed /embroidered in the USA. A brand where the owners actually originated & live, rather than a marketing tool for a large corporation. Their creation was WALA [water & land], a simple brand that you define by your lifestyle rather than a brand that defines your image. They decided they would only make their clothes if they could do it in a manner that reflected their personal values and vowed that they would never compromise those values and make their clothes overseas*. They personally make sure that the people who manufacture / print / embroider their products have a sweatshop free workplace and are currently working on making their entire line truly organic from the thread / dye / fabric / ink. * flexfit[TM] is a patented hat this is not made in th US. All embroidering done in S. California. |
