Rapanui is a company that was started out by two brothers, one a business graduate and the other a renewable energy engineer.
Profit was never a priority (they didnt think they'd make any) it was just a challenge to see if they could make a range that was the cutting-edge in sustainability; it also had to fit their lifestyle; comfy and stylish and green.
In the business you see today, that challenge is still the core. A small team each with an expertise but all sharing this same challenge; to develop the greenest products in the world, the cutting-edge in sustainability.
Aside from the design of fitted, fashionable clothing, the environmental ethos involves three areas of focus:
1- Response to Climate Change
2- Natural, Organic and Ethical Fabrics
3- Fair Trade and Manufacture
Each as important as each other, Rapanui endeavours to take a 'total' approach to sustainability.
Our current achievements have earned us quite a few logos and badges to display as accreditation;
We are stoked to be in the five-strong shortlist for the 'Green Wave' international surf industry awards. |
