Wave sport in an "urban" key: here is the Italian brand WIJI, a new concept synonymous with nature and "serendipity" that combines those values of sustainability, well-being and ecological ethics close to the new green generations.

Milan, June 2023 - WIJI is born, the revolutionary Italian lifestyle brand that embodies the passion for wave sports in a "cooler" guise, while at the same time linking itself to a healthy lifestyle that is increasingly inserted into the daily city life of the new generations sensitive to 'environment.
A balanced attitude, an attitude that represents the generation of "urban sportsmen" and is committed to spreading, informing and connecting all those who embrace this world and love sport, surf culture and travel, because "Surf is an attitude" for WIJI and its entire community.
The surfing boom and more generally the movement linked to the spread of wave sports has also entered European urban social fabrics in recent years, taking the form of a real new "lifestyle" and breaking away from the stereotype of the "perfect Californian surfer". A preconception that has contributed to alienating non-practicing enthusiasts and all those who are curious about one of the undoubtedly most aesthetic sports linked to the natural elements of our planet.
WIJI rides the wave of this transition, representing a lifestyle that combines adventure with values of sustainability, community and healthy lifestyle.
WIJI's mission is clear and tangible: to provide a new generation of " Urban Surfers " with high quality products, taking on that "minimal" imprint characterizing the latest trends in fashion but at the same time laying the foundations on an idea of conscious sustainability .

" The WIJI Spring Summer 2023 collection represents the perfect match between the love for Surfing and our constant commitment to sustainability and environmental protection " declared Mattia Del Conte, founder of WIJI. “We sought to create a brand that reflects the values of those who love wave sports and wish to contribute to a more sustainable future, without compromising design and quality.”
WIJI's philosophy focuses on sustainable and zero-impact production processes, using organic materials and recycled cotton to produce its garments.
A choice that guarantees experience and superior wearability and that draws a clear dividing line with the business of the "fast-fashion" industry.
WIJI, currently present with online sales via e-commerce, plans to open single-brand stores, in which you will have a 360° experience in the world of the brand, telling its story and offering the entire range of products: t -shirts, sweatshirts, ponchos, water bottles, surfboards and much more. Furthermore, the brand has the ambition and objective of believing in future projects, such as creating spaces dedicated to sharing and creativity: hostels, bistros, studios and events open to all people who share the love and passion for sea and ocean.
As it will be for WIJI's September event in Milan (WIJI SURF FEST) and as, instead, it was for the musical event "La Prima Estate", in which WIJI was its official partner.
