Made for women who move

Women's apparel and gear rooted in a love for adventure on land and in water

Our story

Back in January, we spent the month sailing and surfing along the equator in Southeast Asia. One of us was bogged down with clothes for every activity, the other was traveling light but never had exactly what she needed.

We both fantasized about traveling with an article of clothing that could do it all: something cute enough to wear into town, quick-dry enough to wear in the water, breathable enough to wear on a hike, and flexible enough to wear to a yoga class. We started looking around and wondered, why doesn’t this exist?

What began as an idea to create an all-in-one bodysuit has evolved into a broader mission: crafting versatile, quality apparel and gear that ignite the spirit of adventure and bridge the gap between everyday life and the pursuit of our passions.

In a world that constantly encourages us to accumulate more, Before Dawn is an invitation to break that cycle. It’s about trading excess for experiences and reducing the clutter in our lives – mentally, physically, and environmentally – to create more space for adventure.
