YONA wear started as an Idea to combine my love for being outside with my art/apparel background. After selling our local retail store we created in Asheville NC, my creative juices needed an outlet. This time without retail space and designed specifically to give back to a cause we believe in. So YONA wear was created. It's a activewear company concentrating in tees with cool fun hip designs - on super soft tees. The kicker is 20% of all proceeds are going back to Land Conservancies - so every time someone buys any product we all give back. Our goal is to give the next generation more mountains, beaches, and land in general to use and respect.

We picked the name YONA - it is the Cherokee word for Bear. We wanted to use and old native word the represented an animal that needs space - a quiet creature that is quiet and stoic and just wants their space. In North Carolina we have a huge black bear population that roams from the Ocean to the Mountains and so that is where YONA wear comes from.....

Thanks for thinking of us and maybe purchasing out products. Be on the lookout for more products but be patient as its a long process. Eventually in the next 12 months we will transition to all tees being 100% organic cotton, with the highest quality and super cool designs. We will offer hats and stickers in the future too.
