While traveling through South America, Butte Brand co-founders Danny and Liz Zavala explored the continent's natural beauty, but also experienced the social, environmental, and economic hardships the countries continue to face. Upon returning to the Pacific Northwest, the journey inspired a group to come together for the creation of a for-profit business to promote a global movement of giving back. And so, Butte Brand®, a purpose-driven headwear company, was born.

Butte /byo͞ot/: an isolated hill that rises abruptly.

This is a definition that mirrors our core values of rising together to address worldwide issues and to promote sustainable change, no matter the size.
