Hi guys! I guess we’re doing it — we’re starting a blog to share some of our stories and give you an insight into the brand. The blog is where you will be able to learn about the history of Hager-vor, get some local insight on Cornwall and our favourite spots, and see what we’re inspired by.
Who we are:
For those of you who don’t know, we’re Hager-vor. A clothing brand born and still operating in Cornwall. We’re as Cornish as it gets. Our family has 100 years of history in the Cornish clothing business and it’s provided us with a perfect foundation for us to grow from.
Even our name is taken from the traditional Cornish language, despite the Scandinavian vibes people have mentioned to us before. Hager-vor translates to ‘rough sea’ and perfectly encapsulates the extreme lifestyle that we follow, despite it now taking us around the world.
Our Hager-vor family can be found wandering the Cornish cliffs in search of perfect surf breaks, shredding the off-piste powder of the Alps, or taking a boat out to the perfect blue waters of the Maldives.

Why now:
As we approach our 20 year anniversary, we’re wanting to grow the Hager-vor family. Yes, you’re all part of the family. We get a lot of feedback from you — you love that the brand is personal and it’s nice to support the local guys — and we want to repay you for all the support and positivity.
At Hager-vor we live and breathe Cornwall and want to be able to share more of it with you. We think that a blog format allows us to share our passions in more depth and give them the time and content that they deserve.

Our inspiration:
Most of our inspiration comes from Cornwall and the environment around us; we love Cornwall and we want to share it with everyone. But we acknowledge our inspirations from further afield, too. Our youth was filled with 90s hip-hop and skate culture and, naturally, both of these factor into our brand identity.
We want to be more open with our inspirations and show that you can be inspired by the environment and cultures that surround you every single day.
