Meet the Founder

Hello there! My name is Andrew and I am the founder of Refuge Scarf Company. I am a proud husband and father of 2 incredible daughters who calls West Michigan home. As an avid fan of the outdoors and the sport of soccer I wanted a way to combine my interests. I wanted a product that was both functional and aesthetically intriguing, but after searching high and low found little options that hit both of those goals.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and created Refuge Scarf Company and set out to design our flagship national park scarf line. Each scarf showcases unique artwork inspired by the natural landscapes across the United States while using the functional and comfortable form factor of a woven scarf. I wanted to produce a quality product which feels at home on your wall or around your neck. I hope that whether it be at your campsite or your local stadium you use these scarves as a way to express yourself in whatever situation you find yourself in.
