What is the meaning behind the word “Tikheu”?

The word Tikheu translates to “cool water” and carries a deeply personal meaning- it is the middle name of founder Scott Peters. Rooted in his mother’s tribal language, Karen, spoken by the Karen people of the mountainous regions of Thailand. The name reflects water as the foundation of life, a reminder of the natural beauty that flows through everything we create and the connection we hope to inspire.

Where did the logo come from?

The Tikheu logo was originally created to pay homage to founder Scott Peters’ hometown in Northern California, reflecting the small place that first inspired his love for nature. Scott’s experiences exploring remote high lakes, clear rivers, and the rugged ocean sparked a desire to help inspire others to connect with nature.

As the brand evolved, so did the logo. Its new design symbolizes water, the root of life, flowing and cycling connecting mountains, rivers, and oceans, balance that is fundamental to the beauty of nature. When people see Tikheu, its a reminder of the beautiful world, one that we hope they’re inspired to explore, appreciate, and connect with.

How was Tikheu founded?

Originally founded as Wahiti through adventures in nature and then materialized in Scott Peters’ garage at age 19, the brand began as a small clothing project born out of a love for nature and creativity. Over time, it evolved into Tikheu — a rebrand that more accurately reflects its mission, vision, and core values. Today, Tikheu extends beyond apparel, encompassing a range of creative mediums dedicated to inspiring people to get outside, explore, and appreciate the world around them.
