We’re wave chasers. We’re locals. We’re natives. It's the roll of the waves that makes us who we are. Wakes & Waves is a homegrown brand locally built 2 miles from the ocean on Long Island, NY.

As a growing brand, we get creative to bring it all to life, rolling up our sleeves, testing on scraps, getting resourceful, pushing the status quo and thinking outside the box to make W&W, W&W. For us, it's more than just clothing. It's about riding our own wave to pioneer a unique look and feel tied to the place we call home, creating coastal wares, practical pieces and lasting surfside provisions day in and day out in one small but mighty workshop - for now - nestled on the corner of a street named ‘Ocean Ave’ right here on our bustling Island.

It's quality over quantity, care over mere production, textiles and designs that start from scratch, some good vibes and some pretty awesome locals behind each press, print or stitch. Created by hand and made with limited waste, it's places like Dune Road, Fire Island, Ocean Beach, The Twin Forks and a few spots you know like MTK and Long Beach that help form a part of who we are, inspiring our growing goal of crafting, building, finishing or creating as many unique wares, bags, and accessories as we can here on the shores of our island where each one’s a style piece on all the shores you go.

Between the threads lies a passion to inspire you to live with the ocean in your soul where no matter where you are you hear the crashing waves, see the open horizon, and always live for the surf. Local or not, a native or just a fan of this Island and this local made thing one thing's pretty sure - it's the wakes and waves that make us who we are. Here’s to the wave you ride, these little but big impactful island threads and a growing community of wave chasers and like minded people like you behind it all.​ Welcome to Wakes & Waves.
