Shaun Deller Designs was born 4 years ago when I began making a few custom bike caps for myself and friends. My idea was and still is to make a line of hats with function, fashion, simplicity and sustainability in mind. There is an abundance of ugly, corporate logo covered cycling apparel out there made from plastic, made in China, made to end up in the landfill in a year. All of my caps are designed, and cut in my Portland studio. Some of the caps are sewn by a local sewer and some are still sewn by me. Because I don't own a car and because I love to bike any chance I get, all errand running for my business is done by bike. All salvaged fabrics are washed using earth friendly detergents. Tags are printed on 100% recycled paper. I am interested in creating a new vision for cycling/outdoor apparel. The hats are my first step and I may add more items to the line in the future.

Besides this I spend my time learning about wilderness living skills and awareness. These things inform my life, art, awareness of place and self, and connection to the world. Check out my blog to read more about what I am up to.
