Built for Living

Journey to Perreniel

I’ve always loved being outdoors, but as a pale, pasty kid growing up in Queensland, the outdoors hasn't always loved me. 

 

 Long days in the sun were part of life — fishing, camping, boating, cricket on the beach — I learnt pretty early that my skin didn't match my lifestyle. As I got older and travelled to places across Europe and Asia, I realised that no matter where I went, I was still chasing that same balance — staying comfortable, protected, and ready to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about the conditions. 

 

Over the years, I went through every kind of “outdoor” shirt you could find. Some looked good but didn’t breathe. Others offered protection but felt stiff, heavy, or had giant fish printed on them. I wanted something different — something that actually worked in the heat and didn’t look out of place when the day rolled into night.

 

That’s how Perreniel started.

What does perreniel mean?

At Perreniel, we take our name from the word perennial — ever-growing, ever-returning, ever-strong. 

 

It’s a reminder that the best things don’t fade with time and trends; they adapt, endure, and keep showing up. I didn’t want to build another brand chasing trends or short-lived fads. I wanted to create something timeless — clothing that feels right every time you wear it, that looks and performs the way it should, and that stands up to the lifestyle you live.

 

To me, perennial is about consistency, reliability, and trust. It’s about clothing that becomes part of your everyday life — whether you’re on the water, exploring the coast, or just enjoying a sunny day outdoors. It’s gear that's timeless, works, and keeps up with you.

 

Every piece we make reflects that philosophy. From the fabrics we choose to the way we construct our garments, we focus on simplicity, comfort, and function — so that Perreniel isn’t just a brand you wear once, but one you rely on year after year. At the heart of the name is a promise: to create clothing that endures, designed for the people who love the outdoors as much as I do.
