WHY PAISAN?
The origin
The concept of Paisan Clothing developed in May of 2020, during the Coronavirus quarantine and following the horrifying deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. Amidst all the suffering, we decided to bring the Paisan lifestyle out into the world.
OUR mission
Spreading the Paisan Lifestyle
Paisan is an Italian expression, similar to mate, brother, or amigo. It is commonly used to convey friendship, solidarity, and love. At Paisan Clothing, we stand for a certain lifestyle—a life of connection, adventure, passion, and above all, giving back. Our mission is to craft comfortable, versatile, and unique clothing that embodies the true Paisan spirit.
A paisan for others
Giving Back
In the true spirit of a Paisan, we donate $5 for each online sale to the charity of the customers choice. We do this because we believe our growth is not measured solely in profits, but rather in the people we help along the way. Check out our charities here.
The Paisan Difference
Eco-Friendly
Each year, roughly 30% of manufactured apparel is never sold. A majority of this untouched inventory goes straight to the landfills, contributing to the fashion industry’s nearly 92 million tons of textile waste.
Paisan is different. Nearly every product you see in our online catalog is made on-demand. When you place an order, we produce it specifically for you. This allows us to avoid overproduction and textile waste, and contribute to a happier, healthier planet.
Surf-Inspired
Inspired by the unlikely surf culture of the Great Lakes, the Paisan style puts a unique twist on classic beachwear. Our collections feature iconic designs, bright colors, and organic fabrics.
Above all, we built Paisan for adventurers. Our clothing reflects that—versatility, durability, and comfort are the foundation of our apparel.
Donation-Based
The Paisan lifestyle does not stop at the individual. Rooted in our deep commitment to the global community, we donate $5 for each online sale to the charity of the customer's choice. Check out our charities here.
