The Manacutees was established in 2024 in Brooklyn, New York. Our brand emerged from multiple aspects of our life coming to a head: scuba diving, a desire to donate to restore and protect our oceans, anxiety, and a career selling software to e-commerce businesses.

Our founder grew up in Seattle, Washington always a stones throw away from a body of water and has a deep-rooted love for the oceans and marine life. Since 2022, we have scuba dove the Blue Hole in Belize, to the sea lions of the kelp forests of San Diego, and all around the coral triangle in Indonesia; and have felt immensely inspired to bring the joys of what we’ve experienced underwater to apparel for anyone.

The Manacutees was born as an effort to have a creative and playful outlet to reduce stress and bridge our passion of scuba diving and love for the oceans.
