Way back in 2009 we shared story about a traveling art show that was benefiting inner city youth, co-produced by a dude by the name of Mike Giles from Montreal. Over the years Mike and I have become friends and I'm always impressed by his creative output, his great ideas and his perseverance. By day he runs a modern housewares company called and by night he's a father who has his hands in all sorts of different projects.
Most recently, Mike launched a sportswear company out of Montreal called . To start they've simply released one cap design in a multitude of great colourways, my favourite obviously being the Seawall which was directly inspired by the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»running staple of the same name. I took it fishing this weekend and am happy to say I love it so much it hasn't left my head except to sleep, and to take photos of it on stumps in lakes.
Learn all about Ciele at and watch out for more from this obviously awesome Canadian company.
