Meaning and history
Volcom is a sportswear brand with its own philosophy, which is based on the idea that boarding sport disciplines, music, art, and cinematography combine to create inner well-being and satisfaction. Volcom is the only brand in its category that combines all three “board sports”: skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding.
Volcom offers quality stylish clothing, including accessories and shoes, reflecting the brand’s values of freedom, innovation, and love of experimentation.
The idea for the fashion brand came to two friends, Tucker Hall and Richard Woolcott when they were snowboarding back in 1990. The guys decided to create a trend in fashion that would fully correspond to their vision of modern culture and values. The first items of clothing released by the Volcom brand in 1991 were bright T-shirts with interesting drawings and inscriptions.
The brand started evolving, adding more and more items to its collections, and creating its unique recognizable style. Successful activities culminated in the opening of a network of retail stores around the world. Comfortable and practical clothes were appreciated in many countries.
Today Volcom consists of a professional design team, which fully adheres to the company’s philosophy, and embodies all the vision and outlook to extreme sports in Volcom clothes.
