Our collaborations with the RNLI continue to be some of our proudest moments. Based on a shared love and respect for the sea, we've created limited edition collections of clothing and accessories, for men and women, since 2017...
RNLI + Finisterre

Founded upon our three commitments to product, environment and people, and shaped by our shared love of the sea, our partnership with the RNLI is Finisterre's longest running product collaboration.
As a former Helm of the volunteer crew on the St Agnes lifeboat, no one better understands the role the RNLI plays than Finisterre founder, Tom Kay. Having joined the crew around the same time as he started the brand, Tom has been deeply connected to the RNLI crew here for more than twenty years.
“The RNLI + Finisterre collaboration means a lot to me personally, and to work with the RNLI on this limited edition range was a big moment for us. The resulting product embodies our shared love and respect for the ocean, a seafaring heritage and the hardiness of the human spirit.”
Tom Kay, RNLI Lifeboat Volunteer and Finisterre Founder
The range pays homage to the origins of both Finisterre and the RNLI, as well as our shared environmental stance; from fisherman inspired knits and beanies, to 100% recycled, FC-free waterproof jackets. The collaboration also allows us to share the stories of volunteer RNLI crew members at their lifeboat stations across the UK.
Finisterre donates 10% of sales from the collaboration to support the work of the RNLI.
