At Nootkas, we’re about finding joy in simple things, like family, friends and healthy living. We believe that choosing sustainable, natural fabrics is a form of self care. Using and wearing natural fibers is important to us, and we work hard to keep our products free of plastics, chemicals and synthetic fibers that can pollute the environment and irritate your skin. Wellness is more than eating healthy foods and maintaining balance in your life. To us, it also means choosing clothing, products, food and where possible, footwear that is in sync with our values.

What does Nootkas mean? Nootka Island and Nootka Sound are located where the British Columbia meets the Pacific Ocean on the west coast of Vancouver Island. We were inspired by the rugged, timeless beauty of this area and it is a place that holds special personal meaning for us.

Pronouncing Nootkas: Nootkas is pronounced just like the word "foot" + "kuhs"

The name for Nootkas was inspired by childhood fishing trips to Nootka Island in British Columbia. There's nothing in the world quite as cozy as sitting next to a crackling wood fire, looking out the window over the water while rain gently taps against the glass....while wearing a cozy pair of wool slippers of course : )
