Finisterre Outdoor Apparel

Finisterre is a pioneering sustainable outdoor brand founded in 2003 by Tom Kay in St Agnes, Cornwall, UK. The brand was born from the needs of hardy British surfers who required resilient, functional, and ethically made gear to withstand the cold Atlantic conditions. Since its inception, Finisterre has become a global leader in environmentally conscious clothing, focusing on innovation in materials such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, and traceable wool.

Manufacturing is conducted across a global supply chain that prioritizes ethical labor practices and environmental standards. While the brand is deeply rooted in its Cornwall headquarters, production occurs in multiple countries including Portugal, China, and the UK, depending on the specific expertise required for technical outerwear, knitwear, or swimwear. Finisterre is a certified B Corp, reflecting its commitment to social and environmental performance.

Managed as an independent brand, Finisterre has received investment from various private equity firms over the years to fuel its growth and retail expansion. It remains headquartered in the United Kingdom, maintaining its original ethos of durability and ocean-inspired design while scaling its presence as a premium international outdoor label.
