The South Korea based-label started with humble beginnings in 2011 by founder and designer Euijae Lee. Despite not having any formal studies in fashion, he initiated the label out of his undeniable passion for the mountaineering activities that brought him joy in every season: hiking, biking, climbing.

What began as simply creating personal climbing clothing due to a lack of quality gear in his country has now evolved into a full-fledged outdoor brand releasing seasonal collections of protective jackets, functional bag lines, and everyday accessories. Slowly but surely, CAYL has become a major player in supporting the local outdoor culture that has continued to rise in popularity.
