Nauti Boy is inspired by the sailors, maritime traditions, and rugged coastal heritage of Cape Cod. We create clothing and wearable pieces that blend classic nautical style with a reimagined, lived-in edge.
At the heart of the brand is a belief that clothing can have more than one life. Through secondhand sourcing, upcycling, embroidery, dyeing, and hand embellishment, we transform existing pieces into something new, personal, and one of a kind—while encouraging a more thoughtful approach to how we buy and wear clothing.
Alongside our original designs, Nauti Boy celebrates the imperfect, the worn, and the storied. Each reworked piece carries traces of where it came from and the hands that transformed it.
Rooted in tradition. Reworked by hand. Made for a new voyage.
Mission Statement
Artisanal Maritime Roots
Nauti Boy bridges the gap between historical seafaring tradition and the urgent call for environmental stewardship. We source organic materials and employ hand-stitching techniques that have stood the test of time, ensuring each garment is as enduring as the coastline itself. Our mission is simple: to create one-of-a-kind clothing that respects the rhythm of the ocean and the hands that craft it, fostering a global community bound by a deep connection to the sea.
apparel, on point
For as long as I can remember, clothing has been my greatest form of self-expression. Some days it's buttoned-up, timeless, and traditional. Other days it's grungy, punk, bold, and unapologetically eccentric. I've never fit neatly into one box—and I've never wanted to. We all have different layers, different versions of ourselves, and I wanted to create a brand that embraces that.
For years, I found myself imagining pieces I wished existed but could never find. Eventually, I decided to stop searching and start making them.
Nauti Boy is a collection of both thoughtfully manufactured garments and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces that I've reworked by hand through embroidery and upcycling. Having worked in the fashion industry in a variety of roles, I've seen firsthand the environmental impact of fast fashion. Sustainability isn't just a trend to me—it's a responsibility. Breathing new life into vintage clothing is my way of creating something meaningful while leaving a lighter footprint.
I'm a self-taught embroiderer, and every stitch represents nearly a decade of learning, experimenting, and refining my craft. No two handmade pieces are ever exactly alike, and that's exactly the point. They carry character, history, and the marks of the hands that made them.
Rooted in the ocean and inspired by the maritime traditions of New England, Nauti Boy is a love letter to sailors, surfers, dock kids, and anyone who's ever felt at home by the water. Having grown up sailing, racing, and coaching on Cape Cod, these influences have shaped not only my style but who I am. The brand embodies the spirit of the off-duty sailor—classic yet rebellious, polished yet weathered, preppy with a touch of grit.
Nauti Boy is about creating the pieces I always wished existed—for people who appreciate tradition but aren't afraid to make it their own.
