About Us

This is me taking a break from flying,

we 'parked' for a while on this iceberg

whilst in the Weddell Sea, 1998.​

Twenty years ago, we spent two unforgettable seasons in Antarctica — a truly magical experience.

To wake up surrounded by icebergs, penguins, and the sound of ice breaking or the wind sweeping across the snow is something words can barely describe. It’s beautiful, humbling, and deeply emotional all at once.

 

Add to that the unbelievable story of Shackleton and how he and his crew survived such hardship during the Endurance expedition - and it makes our own journey in the very same place feel even more extraordinary, profound and unforgettable.

That time in Antarctica and the Endurance Expedition story inspired Vintage Antarctica—a way to keep the spirit of that place alive and share it with others who understand its pull.

Through our designs, we hope to capture the same sense of wonder, adventure, and respect that Antarctica gave us.

When you’re lucky enough to walk among glaciers, penguins, and endless white horizons, it changes you. The beauty, the silence, the courage it takes to be there—it stays with you forever.

 

 

We’re inspired by that feeling—and by the incredible men and women who ventured south before us. From Shackleton and Scott to today’s scientists and sailors, each one reminds us to Venture, Endure, Inspire and Protect.

 

Our collections celebrate this legacy. Every design, print, and piece of apparel captures a moment of adventure, wonder, and human spirit—made to share the feeling of standing at the edge of the world.

Our Mission: keep that Antarctica magic close to our hearts

In a world that often feels ordinary, we want to remind people of the extraordinary. Our Antarctic-inspired art and apparel aren’t just products—they’re stories of courage, curiosity, and connection.

 

Each design is a small tribute to those who dared to explore—and to anyone who dreams of something beyond the horizon.

We believe adventure isn’t only found at the ends of the Earth. It lives in all of us.

 

Mass-produced items can’t capture that feeling—but our limited-edition collections can.

Whether you’re drawn to the Heroic Age of Exploration or the icy beauty of the last great wilderness, our pieces help you stand out, feel inspired, and stay connected to something bigger.
