Why We Exist

Vanarchy began on the road—literally.

Founder Riley Endicott was living full-time in a self-converted school bus when she saw the disconnect between the gear people actually needed and what was available on the market. Most seat covers were either cheaply made or hyper-masculine, with no regard for sustainability or design. So she set out to build something better.

What started as a personal need quickly became a bigger vision: to create durable, ethically made gear that reflects the realities—and values—of a life in motion.

Vanarchy was born from that mission and was shaped by the creatives, makers, and misfits Riley met along the way. 

The result?

A brand built for utility, driven by community, and designed to support something bigger.
