Our Story

Welcome to GLGL, where our passion for the Great Lakes runs deep. We founded GLGL with a singular mission: to create apparel that not only embodies the majesty of the Great Lakes but also celebrates the unique character of each individual lake.


Our journey began from a simple desire—to wear clothing that truly resonates with our connection to these extraordinary bodies of water .At GLGL, our mission is to create apparel that not only represents the grandeur of the Great Lakes but also celebrates the unique spirit of each individual lake. Every design in our collection is inspired by the beauty, culture, and community that define our lakeside lifestyles.

 

Founded by Pam Stepka and John Travers, residents who grew up and still live near these magnificent waters—John first near Lake Erie and now near the shores of Lake Michigan and Pam who has called Lake Erie her home her entire life —our brand was born out of a shared passion for these iconic natural wonders.
