Native Partnerships

Faherty is deeply proud of our ongoing partnership with Native communities and supports their fight for human rights and prosperity. It’s part of our mission to partner with Native artists to end appropriation in fashion and offer authentically designed clothing that benefits Native communities.

These communities are at the forefront of protecting the planet and their survival is most directly and imminently impacted by the climate crisis. Therefore, the more resources we can put in the hands of Native and Indigenous people, the better off we’ll all be
