In 2007, cousins Ed Fernandez and Brian Jones teamed up to start Organik Clothing, a beach lifestyle brand featuring Hawaii and nature-inspired designs on sustainable, organic materials, including blends made from recycled plastic bottles.<\/p>\n
With Fernandez’s background as an environmental health specialist and researcher, and Jones’ work experience as a graphic designer and in branding, the pair have combined their passion and talents in creating eco-friendly fashions, including T-shirts, shorts, hats, bags and more.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
Originally created in Kailua-Kona, Organik Clothing has since moved its production and distribution to Honolulu. “Our clothing is made in Los Angeles and Honolulu, and hand-dyed and screenprinted by hand in Hawaii,” says Fernandez. “We’ve also collaborated with different companies over the years to make natural rubber, eco-friendly slip-pahs, bags with Iolani Hawaiiana designs, Jams retro-inspired shorts and shirts with local artists Drew Toonz and Lauren Roth.”<\/p>\n
Organik Clothing’s most recent collaborations are with Jams World called JWXO, featuring vintage-inspired shorts; and Drew Toonz with designs printed on non-GMO 100 percent cotton, made in the U.S.A. cut and sew tees.<\/p>\n
Organik can be found at stores throughout Hawaii, including Community, Jams World, Genius Outfitters, Whole Foods, Happy Haleiwa, Surfline, REBECCA beach at the Kahala Hotel & Resort and the Hifi Coop at Ward Warehouse, as well as online at organikclothing.com.
