Inside Whelk
We are an independent brand located in the Eastern Townships in the Canadian province of Quebec. We’re committed to steering our ship towards a cleaner, healthier ocean. In fact, we’re so passionate about this cause that we donate 10% of our profits to a non-profit organization dedicated to removing trash from the seas. We believe that companies like ours have a responsibility to give back to society and so we’re doing it, one product at a time.
Turning the Tide
We initially began with a simple goal to make a better baseball cap. We wanted to offer a symbolic accessory that could be casually worn by literally anybody, no matter your gender or size. We continue to promote this philosophy as we introduce new products to the world. In fact, our mission is to make gear that will allow us to explore our planet without harming the environment. After all, together we can make waves in the fight against ocean pollution.
