Ariko Surf – Coastal Essentials Built in Los Angeles
Ariko Surf – Coastal Essentials Built in Los Angeles
Ariko Surf is led by Ariel Kochbarski, whose work blends a calm coastal spirit with everyday pieces meant to be lived in. Her brand feels effortless — sun-worn, grounded, and built around comfort that still looks refined. It is not about chasing trends; it is about creating a wardrobe that feels like California itself.
We have been working together since September 2023, shaping her core garment-dyed essentials and keeping production smooth as the line grows.
About Ariko Surf
Ariko Surf sits in that space between the coast and the city — easy to wear, quietly considered, and built for real life. The pieces feel relaxed and familiar, like something you have owned for years, but with the fit and finish you expect from a modern brand.
Ariel’s direction is simple: clean silhouettes, soft fabrics, and color stories that feel like sun, salt, and slow days outside.
What We Built Together
Everything we make for Ariko Surf follows one non-negotiable: 100% cotton. Ariel loves the look and feel of pigment-dyed garments — that vintage, washed, sun-faded finish that matches her coastal aesthetic.
Across the seasons, we have supported Ariko Surf with a tight lineup of essentials:
- Classic fit tees
- Crop tees
- Crewneck sweatshirts
- Rib tanks
- Shorts — her newest addition to the lineup
Each style is cut and sewn in Los Angeles, then garment-dyed to hit the right tone — soft, lived-in, and ready to throw on any day of the week.
How We Worked Together
Working with Ariel has been easy, honest, and collaborative — the kind of partnership where ideas move quickly because the communication is clear and the vision is aligned.
Our role is to protect the quality of her garments at every step — patterns, fabrics, cutting, sewing, and garment dye — so that each delivery feels consistent with the Ariko Surf world her customers love.
Over time, that trust has turned into a long-term production rhythm: new styles get added, colors evolve, and the core essentials stay strong.
