About Fair Harbor
Summer is more than a passing season—it's a sense of ease and freedom that's threaded throughout our lives all year long. Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur siblings Jake and Caroline Danehy, Fair Harbor embraces that summer feeling, and transforms upcycled plastic bottles into timeless, ultra-soft apparel for the beach and beyond.
