Mission Statement
Materials Matter
At Wayve, it is our core belief that the Mother Nature provides us with everything we need to thrive in this life. We follow this ideology through our clothing by only using fabrics that come directly from the Earth - no plastic whatsoever.
Our clothing's "ingredient list" is limited to plant and animal based fibers - organic cotton, different varieties of wool, linen, hemp, leather, and silk. We strive to stay in harmony with nature, so we always use premium, natural materials to craft our garments.
Connecting Clothes to Health
It may not sound obvious at first, but the clothes we wear can directly impact our health. Our clothes are in constant contact with our skin, which acts like a sponge and absorbs anything it touches.
Today, 60% of clothes are made of plastic-based synthetic materials that have been studied and linked to serious health effects. Synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and spandex expose our bodies to microplastics, PFAs, and other toxic chemicals like BPA and formaldehyde.
Over time, wearing synthetic clothing can seriously impact your hormones, endocrine system, and even your fertility. At Wayve, we believe in a holistic approach to health, one where our clothing plays an integral role in our wellbeing.
True Sustainability
In the world of fashion, "sustainability" often ties back to the use of recycled fabrics such as recycled polyester. But did you know that recycled polyester is made of old plastic bottles? The truth is, recycled materials are not inherently good for the environment.
While the notion of repurposing waste into clothes sounds nice, the reality is that recycled polyester breaks down into microplastics that are released each wear and each wash. These microplastics end up in our oceans, our air, our soil, and our bodies. Ultimately, they cause more harm than the source plastic they come from and are much harder to clean up. At Wayve we take sustainability seriously, which is why we never use synthetic fibers in our clothing.

Why did I start Wayve?
After I learned about the effects that polyester and other synthetic clothes have on our health & environment, I made an effort to replace all of my synthetic clothes. When I started looking for natural fiber alternatives, I couldn't find any that were made of high quality materials and fit my style. So I decided to make my own.
One year later, I launched the first Wayve collection and haven't looked back since.

What do I care about?
I’m a big advocate of natural living in all aspects, not just clothing. I truly believe that the Earth provides us with everything that we need, yet it feels like many people today are losing touch with their connection to nature. With Wayve, my goal is to help restore that connection, bringing nature’s beauty and balance into our designs, colors, and materials to inspire a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

What's the vision?
At Wayve, my vision is to create clothing that reconnects people with nature while prioritizing health, sustainability, and quality. I believe what we wear should feel good, be good for us, and have a positive impact on the planet.
By designing essentials that are superior in quality, health, aesthetics, and comfort, my goal is to make synthetic fibers obsolete and inspire a more mindful, natural way of living.
