24403 East Welches Rd. #104 Welches, OR 97067 i.N.i represents unity and the common bond and relationship that we all share on this planet. A Cooperative is a group of individuals: ambassadors, designers, athletes and friends who collaborate and contribute to the brand’s DNA. The concept behind i.N.i Cooperative has always been to create a lifestylefunctional brand that blends top-notch functionality with our environmental initiative, aimed at youth and the outdoor sports industries. i.N.i was started in the summer of 2011 by an incredible group of talented individuals who wanted to bring lower impact products to the outdoors. The founders of the brand have lived and breathed snow their entire lives, and many left comfortable jobs with other brands in the industry to get involved on the ground level of something new and organic. Our goal is to blend function, comfort and street influenced style into our outerwear. By doing so, we wish to create a premium lifestyle brand that speaks to the Pacific Northwest. Our garments are durable and tough, yet casual enough to wear everyday. Our surrounding environments are what inspire us most. With offices in Los Angeles and Mt. Hood, we frequently get to jump between the busy urban city life and the quiet natural mountains in the Pacific Northwest. This provides us with a unique perspective and balance that inspires everyone in the Cooperative. i.N.i is doing something that no one else is. While other brands have built limited “ECO” pieces into their product line, i.N.i’s entire product offering is focused on just that. By concentrating on the use of organic and recycled textiles in our products, we are able to deliver outerwear that someone can feel good about wearing. We also use advanced manufacturing processes, including the most earth-friendly DWR coating for our outerwear, which control the toxic emissions typically given off during this process. Anyone can make good outerwear, but we are proud to create product with a purpose.
