Gaastra is the international nautical lifestyle brand with performance and casual collections for men and women. The brand owes its reputation to the balanced mix of 'fashion' and 'function'. A combination that is clearly and consistently implemented in our clothing lines Gaastra Sportswear, Gaastra Footwear and Gaastra Pro. It all began in 1897 with the ambitious and innovative sailmaker business of Douwe Gaastra in Sneek, The Netherlands. And more than a century later this iconic heritage lives on in our nautical lifestyle brand. Our international allure and many followers range from professional sailors to fashion conscious lovers of the nautical lifestyle.
