above: Founders Mike Faherty, Kerry Docherty and Alex Faherty.
Founded in 2013, Faherty, the family-owned fashion and lifestyle brand known for its surf-inspired style and commitment to sustainable craftsmanship, opened the doors to its 71st store opening in Westport. Based in New York and started by twin brothers Alex and Mike alongside Alex’s wife, Kerry Docherty, Faherty was founded to create high-quality, timeless clothes for men and women.
Fitness and sports are integral in the everyday lives of all three founders, from surfing, lacrosse to basketball. They wanted to carry that love over to their partnerships like the recently announced one with New York Knicks player and team captain Jalen Brunson for a limited-edition capsule collection.
As a brand, Faherty has a deep commitment to social impact and sustainability, and these values drive everything they do, from the quality of their clothing to their relationships with their customers, partners, and community.
In the fall of 2024, Faherty became a Certified B Corporation (B-corp) and 1% for the Planet member, underscoring its dedication to transparent, ethical business practices and environmental stewardship.
Staying true to the family-business, all stores are designed by Mike and Alex’s mom, Ninie, who strives to create a local atmosphere and neighborhood vibe unique to each location.
Earlier this year in Alex and Mike’s hometown, Spring Lake, NJ, Faherty opened its first hospitality concept, Sun & Waves. This marks their evolution into a lifestyle brand while continuing to stay true to its roots.
Faherty chose Westport to expand their footprint for its strong sense of community and love of the New England town on the water.
