arvos: Who are we?
Born in Avalon, a small surf village on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, arvos is a couple team (Matt and Simona), who are both in love with nature, sun, sea, salt, surf and the pleasure of simple living. Our mission is to provide an ethical and earth embracing approach to surf & activewear.
simple life, happy heart
In early 2019, during our surfing travels through Sri Lanka and Indonesia, a vision began to form. An ethical and sustainable company which harmoniously bridged surfing and active lifestyles. We envisioned a small passion project to help guide our focus back to things which really mattered to us.
The arvos foundations manifested during our time in Hiriketiya, Sri Lanka. A naturally beautiful fishing village, which recently reinvented itself as an alternative travel destination.
Our days were focused around a fun left-hand pointbreak, yoga and afternoons spent with books beneath low hanging palms. Hiriketiya was an ideal location to promote creativity and allow imaginations to wander. Drawing on the inspiration surrounding us, we decided to throw caution to the wind to embark on a new journey. A few years on and the original image still holds true.
wholesome feels, ethical threads
As well as making comfortable, long-lasting collections for like-minded people, arvos is on a continuous search for new recycled & sustainable materials to work with. Ethical practices are equally front-of-mind. In this regard, we have personally visited our main suppliers across Asia to ensure conditions are of the highest standard for the talented team creating our wholesome products.
collaborators
While simplicity and the beauty of nature are our main inspirations, so too is the ‘art of craft’.
We love working with artists from all over the world: from photographers, visual artists to musicians, board shapers and beyond. We feel so blessed and proud to have the opportunity to collaborate with such wonderfully talented people from all corners of this Earth and equally different cultures.
We’d like to take the opportunity here to offer a deep and honest thanks to all who’ve supported us on our arvos journey.
