A Bit About Us:

Founded in 2013 by Mike and Alex Faherty and Kerry Docherty Faherty is a family-run lifestyle and apparel brand fueled by purpose and optimism. Our goal: to build a new American legacy by creating high-quality sustainably minded feel-good favorites that will bring you joy to wear.

We feel a deep responsibility to do things differently: to promise comfort without compromising quality. To hold ourselves to a higher standard with a lower environmental impact. To leave the world a better place than we found it.

We recognize the impact the fashion industry has on the world and we’re dedicated to learning how to be better stewards of the planet. We believe the power of conversation and connection can make real change and we’re committed to supporting people and organizations doing work that we believe in.

Our passionate leadership team comes from different backgrounds but share a singular goal: to deliver on our promise of comfort and craftsmanship. To work side-by-side in a collaborative energetic and creative environment every day like the family we are.

We welcome everyone — and we mean everyone. We believe a diversity of viewpoints, experiences and backgrounds only serve to make our team stronger which is why we strongly encourage those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply: BIPOC women and people in the LGBTQIA+ community to name a few. We strive to lead consciously bravely and inclusively — and to reflect those values in our work. We live by six key pillars:

Be The Best

Stay Authentic

Better Together

Spread Good Vibes

Deliver On Promises

Lead Consciously Bravely and Inclusively

Remain compassionate. Stay focused. Seek joy. Let’s make the world a better place.
