Ecoalf
Born of frustration with the excessive use of the world's resources, and the amount of waste produced by industrialized countries,…
Nau (pronounced “now”) is a clothing company based in Portland, Oregon, making sustainable urban, outdoor apparel.
The concept behind Nau is that if they redesign fashion and redefine business they can each become a powerful force for change – a small step towards unfucking the world.
All aspects of Nau’s business, from the product to the business model, are an extension of who they are and how they live. Nau design for themselves, first, understanding that if they won’t wear it, why should anyone else. Ditto for their entire business model, they stand behind every decision they make.
Less than twenty in total, they spend a lot of time together, talking, testing, sketching, asking, critiquing and revising. Most team members ride bikes, ski, snowboard, climb, surf, run, make music, see music, take pictures, grow food, eat food, stay out late, have families, and have dogs.
