- NAME: Gili means 'island' in Indonesian. The idea was first conceived on the western coast of an island named Gili Air, so we named it after that special place (-8.353558,116.077777).
- HISTORY: Designed by dive professionals and whitewater guides, all the gear bags we had used in the past were made from a cheap black or blue mesh fabric that would not stand the test of time, so we set out on a mission to find the most durable, breathable, colorful, and most importantly- sustainable material we could, and started making our own. When other instructors, divemasters, sailors, fishermen, friends, and family all wanted some...we outsourced a B certified contract manufacturer in Colorado to do all the cut & sew. Five years later, Gili now offers a wide variety of eco-products that are ideal for all adventures, sports, and travel.
- LOGO: The lotus flower is an aquatic plant. The middle petal is a water drop and the three on each side are waves. Depending where in the world you are, it is most commonly associated with rebirth, beauty, purity, and spiritual enlightenment.
- MISSION: Raising awareness towards a sustainable future.
- SLOGAN: "Linger Longer" Our slogan fully encapsulates sustainability and adventure travel, the two main concepts that inspired Gili. The materials we use Linger Longer by being repurposed into new products. Our products also bring us to amazing destinations we wish to Linger Longer at.
