Last weekend, we kicked off our event season with the Royal Cornwall Show. Despite the weather, we had a lot of fun, and it was great to meet so many of you. As we’ve repeatedly said, our favourite part of all the events we attend is meeting the rest of the Hager-vor family, whether you’re …

The first blog post of every month is design inspo. We give you a little behind-the-scenes look at our tee of the month and share some of our thought processes. As you may have seen already, we’ve chosen the Vor Text t-shirt for June. With a modern approach to branding, we think this tee will …

WHERE TO FIND US IN JUNE
June tends to be one of our busiest months. A lot of tourists in Cornwall are missing the big summer rush, but it’s also the start of our events season. We’re going to two this June, as we have done for the past few years, and would love to see some of you there! We …

Our Favourite Beaches: Fistral
Following our Newquay blog post last week, we thought we’d give a little more love to Fistral. It’s not a beach we head to much, partly because of our affinity for Godrevy, but it’s definitely one we need to go to more. A true surfers beach, it’s no surprise that Fistral remains one of the …

Why We Still Love Newquay
When people mention Newquay, a few thoughts come to mind. “The beaches are great, but the town doesn’t offer much.” “It’s filled with the wrong groups of people in the summer.” We‘ve heard it all. But, we’re happy to overlook all of that. We think Newquay is getting some undue negativity. It’s no surprise that …

Why we Love a Good T-shirt
At Hager-vor, we love a good t-shirt. Long sleeved or short sleeved; subtle text design or colourful graphics. It doesn’t matter. We love them all. And with Cornwall quickly warming up, we’re confident t-shirt season is very nearly upon us. But we’re not the only ones. In the past few weeks, we’ve been seeing more …

Design Inspiration: Glide
It’s time for another behind-the-scenes look into our inspiration at Hager-vor again! This month, we’ll be looking at the Glide tee — an all-new design for us and our current tee of the month. As always, Cornwall and the nature around us have heavily influenced the design. The design features three identical lines inside a …

Our Favourite Beaches: Perranporth
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about some of our favourite beaches around Cornwall. And, as surfers, the north coast of the county is where we naturally gravitate. However, Perranporth offers much more than just fantastic waves. The beach and, by extension, the town have been slowly transforming themselves into a fully-fledged venue. …

Our Favourite Beaches: Porthtowan
In our post last week, we started a series revolving around our favourite Cornish beaches. This week, we’re going to continue this and take a look at Porthtowan: a small village on the north coast of Cornwall. Similar to Godrevy, Porthtowan is one of those beaches that holds a lot of sentimental value for us. …

Our Favourite Beaches: Godrevy
With the Easter holidays unofficially starting the tourist rush into Cornwall, we thought we’d start a mini-blog series of our favourite beaches around the county. Whether you’re a long-time resident of Cornwall or a first-time visitor, the beaches of Cornwall never lose their appeal. But with the over 300 to choose from, where do you …

Design Inspiration: From The Sea
For our first blog post of April, we’re going to talk inspiration again! Similar to our previous design inspiration post, we’re going to be looking at the tee of the month: From The Sea. From The Sea is inspired by a couple of distinctly Cornish sources. Although it doesn’t require much searching to find a mining house …

Why we’re excited for summer in Cornwall
This year seems to be flying by, and summer is quickly coming over the horizon. For us, like many others in Cornwall, summer is our busy season. The influx of people visiting the county is a drastic increase from the winter months but it’s so important for all of us that call Cornwall home. With …

Why we love St. Ives
St. Ives is integral to the Hager-vor story. It’s where we have our first and, at the moment, only store but the town ran through our brand DNA before a brick-and-mortar store was even a consideration. Similar to Godrevy in our previous blog post, I have a lot of family connections to St. Ives and …

Godrevy: A Home Away From Home
Living in Cornwall provides me with more inspiration than I’ll ever need. With Godrevy acting as my back garden and my social space growing up, I’ve had my fair share of envious looks whenever I recall the stories. My family store, Clotworthy’s, has operated in Cornwall and it’s where I’ve chosen to spend the majority …

A Love Affair With The Beaches of Cornwall
When it comes to beaches in Cornwall, you’re spoilt for choice. But you can never forget your first beach — the one that started the Cornish love affair. Every Cornish local will say their beach is the best. “The surf is always cleaner here,” and “the beach is less crowded” are two sayings you get …

Design Inspiration: The Flow
As a regular blog feature, we’d like to start talking about some of our designs and our inspiration behind them. The first design we’re going to look at is the Flow – our current tee of the month. The Flow, like many of our designs, is inspired by the sea around us. There’s a special …
