Gandys

Gandys is a British lifestyle brand specializing in clothing and accessories, particularly known for its flip-flops. The brand was founded in 2012 by brothers Rob and Paul Forkan after surviving the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in Sri Lanka, which tragically claimed the lives of their parents.

The brand's core mission extends beyond commercial enterprise. Gandys is committed to giving back and supports charitable causes through the Gandys Foundation. A percentage of profits are dedicated to building orphanages and supporting children's education, primarily in developing countries. The first Gandys orphanage was built in Sri Lanka in 2014.

Gandys' product range has expanded over time to include apparel such as t-shirts, hoodies, and swimwear, as well as other accessories like bags and sunglasses. The company emphasizes ethical and sustainable practices in its sourcing and manufacturing processes.

The brand has gained recognition for its inspiring story and commitment to social responsibility, attracting a loyal customer base and partnerships with other organizations.
