Materials Guiding Philosphy:
Faro goods are fighting overconsumption. Therefore, our products must be made from mindfully sourced materials that are rugged, recycled, and built to sustain time.
Our goal is always gear that is built better, looks better, and last longer. We belive this makes it a sustainable choice that will naturally be part of your journey for a long, long time.

To us, sustainability means working with ethically and responsibly sourced materials to create products that will stand the test of time. All Faro products are crafted with this philosophy in mind. We utilize different materials throughout our line of goods, some of which are: recycled polyester made from ocean-found plastic waste, organic cotton grown here in the USA, and dead-stock and factory seconds canvas that would normally be put into landfills. For all of our products, we will continue to put the planet ahead of profits, creating responsible products that last a lifetime.
For our surfboard bags and other accessories, the journey of our fabric starts in Bali, Manila, and Nairobi where we have teamed up with local advocates that collect ocean & landfill plastic bottles, whereupon the bottles are cleaned, sorted, and the usable plastics are broken down then shipped via climate-neutral shipping to facilities in China where once-old plastic is turned into our rugged StokedPlastic™️ canvas. The StokedPlastic™️ canvas is then shipped to our local San Diego manufacturing facility where it is cut and sewn into board bags. Each Board bag pulls 45+ ocean found plastic bottles out of the water! Directly battling over consumption.
All of our bags are handmade from rugged materials that are meant to endure a life of exploration by the sea. Attention to detail is ingrained in our process, and no stitch is overlooked. Small scale local manufacturing allows us to ensure that you're getting the best quality product every time.
Influenced by an era in when things were built to last, we prioritize functionality and intentional minimalism. Our materials are all durable, with a refined simplicity that allows them to withstand the test of time physically. We also incorporate colors and patterns that enable them to persist beyond the physical realm.
