About Hykura: Adventurewear for Wild Souls
Meet Hykura: Where British Craft Meets South East Asian Soul
Welcome to Hykura, your destination for premium outdoor and adventurewear designed for the modern explorer. Based in the heart of London, we craft high-quality clothing, footwear, travel accessories, and eco-conscious essentials for those who hear the call of the wild. Our slogan, "Adventurewear for Wild Souls," isn’t just a tagline—it’s the DNA of everything we create.
Our Story: A Cultural Fusion Forged in Adventure
Hykura was born from a beautiful collision of worlds. Founded by a mixed-race designer with a deep passion for heritage and exploration, our brand is a love letter to the rich tapestry of cultures that shape our identity.
We combine time-honoured British quality and contemporary London style with the vibrant artistry of Southeast and East Asia. This unique fusion allows us to create performance-ready gear with a soul and a story.
We celebrate the Sarimanok, a beloved mythical bird from the Philippines, and reimagine it as a bold motif in our outdoor prints.
Our fabrics take cues from Inabel (Abel Iloco) weaving—classic handwoven textiles known for their striking stripes and durability—perfectly aligned with adventurewear.
Details in our garments echo the delicate Piña and Barong embroidery styles, reinterpreted for modern jackets, shirts, and travel gear.
We draw pattern inspiration from the colorful Banig (woven mat) designs, bringing geometric flair into backpacks, sandals, and accessories.
Alongside this, we integrate Batik and Ikat artistry from Indonesia and Malaysia, and minimalist, nature-inspired influences from East Asia.
This isn’t just fashion; it’s wearable culture—designs rooted in Filipino and Asian heritage, adapted for today’s wild journeys.
