About Us
Growing up I dreamt of finding ways to share the beauty of Gulf culture with the world. That dream grew with me, and inspired me to found One8: a love letter to the region that shaped who I am. From the warmth of our traditions to the hidden subcultures, One8 is about bringing it all together in a way that is authentic and accessible. We started with the essentials: the cotton tee and trucker hats, so they can find a place in anyones wardrobe. Whether you’re here, away, or somewhere in between, One8 lets you carry the Gulf with you. Welcome to the tribe.
Our journey
We aim to bridge the gap between streetwear and tradition. Prounounced as "wanait", One8 gets its name from the Gulf slang for pickup "وانيت".

“I was introduced to One8 in 2016 and I absolutely appreciated the originality and quality of the caps and T-shirts. Everyone should have this brand as part of their daily wardrobe.

“One of the very few hats that actually fit perfectly, what I love about one8 hats the most as well is how durable it is for every day use and outdoor activities.

“I just love my one 8 cap I love the fit and design! It's my favorite cap I wear during my runs and outdoor activities
”
“You trust a brand when you know the team behind it! One8 customized our hats at Reel Therapy Oman and were put to the ultimate test while fishing off-shore! Durability and style at its best!
”
“90% of my time I wear a hat, and 100% of the hats I wear are One8. Super comfortable, they last forever, and I love the local designs.
