about us

inkydeep® – however you ride waves we have a shared passion…
inkydeep is a surf clothing company offering those with a love of surfing, surf lifestyle and surf culture quality organic garments with original, exciting graphics inspired by the origins of surfing and the origins of waves and a love of the sea.

inkydeep® – as it should be
In setting up inkydeep we established a number of company values that we see as key to building a credible business and brand. One of these values is to ensure our fledgling business is ethical and causes minimal impact on the environment – to be as ethical and environmentally sound as we can.

The reality of achieving this has been an interesting challenge – as we consider and evaluate each component and products used within the lifecycle of manufacturing t-shirts through to packaging and postage – we realise that its not easy to achieve this particular goal on a limited budget.

For example, our t-shirts are 100% certified organic products in accordance with the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). The facilities where the t-shirts are made use renewable green energy generated by wind turbines and solar power. The t-shirts are of good quality but not the cheapest we could have chosen. Our t-shirts are screen printed locally in Cornwall.

We bag our t-shirts in recycled, recyclable brown craft bags and dispatch them in mailing bags that are environmentally friendly – 100% degradable and re-usable. The postage labels are from sustainable resources and are also eco-friendly.

As we grow we will continue to work on reducing our impact on the environment and look at what we can give back. With our limitations we are happy with our choices and believe we have made a good start in achieving and adhering to this company value.

We are not going to keep on about it – we believe that it should be locked into our company DNA, it should (and will) come naturally to us.

inkydeep® – the origins of the name and the inkydeep icon
Our brand offer is immediately identifiable from our icon which shows the origins of a wave from the inkydeep oceans.

The name, the icon and the concept (what inkydeep is) are anchored around surfing origins and the essence of the surfing experience – primarily drawn from the origins and the pre-commercialisation of surfing and the origins of waves.

The name inkydeep is about origins; origins of surfing and the origins of waves. It is from the inkydeep oceans that ocean swells originate. These swells travel for hundreds if not thousands of miles bringing us waves.

These origins compliment the meaning and symbolism of the inkydeep icon.

The icon is a pictorial representation of inkydeep. It is from the deep oceans (the inkydeep) that ocean swells originate.

The parallel wave forms of our icon symbolize the lifecycle of ocean waves; from the creation of an ocean swell through to the wave energy being expelled as breaking waves on a distant shore.

inkydeep® – inkydeep our name; always one word, always in lower case, never hyphenated, the “i” is always in lower case.
