Who we are

Big Tunnel was born on the island of Maui (HI) in 1996, during a life move.

The love for the sea, nature and water sports inspired the creation of the brand, handmade, which today regains momentum in its maximum expression!!!!

Let's go back there...to that experience.

After several years in which my husband and I talked about moving to a place that represented us, with a mild climate... sea and nature... with the birth of our daughter we decided to take the leap and choose the extraordinary island of Maui (HI).

We sell everything we have, recognizing not a few obstacles to face...moreover we spoke very little of the language.....so apart from luggage of all types we stock up on a large amount of dictionaries!!!!

In all this with a 9 month old Little One with her needs and requirements. You won't believe it but when our daughter was born we also registered the Hawaiian name... Wahine...which means Woman...from which our Female Line takes!!!

However, the time spent in Maui... about a year, allowed us to experience so much... sharing, welcoming, growing, living a pace of life in which we recognized ourselves, giving my husband the opportunity to express himself to the fullest by bringing out his creativity!!!

Back in Italy for personal reasons we decided to live in Anguillara Sabazia on Lake Bracciano, with the idea of opening a Surfstyle Shop with the name Big Tunnel.

And so it was... we created it in April 1999, starting to deal with well-known brands in the world of Surfing and Skating, considering over time to include our Big Tunnel line.

When we finally print some t-shirts and sweatshirts with our logo, the crisis overwhelms us and at the end of 2013 we close the business.

We resumed our Brand only last year deciding, together with my daughter and a dear friend to open an Ecommerce with the intent to transmit through what we do attention, care and value.

Hence the choice to treat certified organic fabrics that in addition to protecting the Planet can raise awareness among each of us and you!!!!

Mahalo!!!
