Kavu was founded in 1993 in Seattle by former commercial fisherman Barry Barr, who crafted a strap-secure canvas cap to stay on in windy, rough conditions. That hat—the StrapCap—sparked a brand rooted in fun, freedom, and the outdoors. Kavu now makes colourful, functional outdoor wear, accessories, and bags built for "KAVU days"—clear-skied adventures at any season
