Company founded
1979
Hurricane Canvas was founded in 1979, by Robert Mew in his parent's basement when he was 19 years old. As years went by, he moved into a loft in the 1980's, and in 1993 he purchased the Vessel Bobbin and built it himself. After it was finished, he hired many workers and now he and his wife Gabi Mew run Hurricane Canvas alone with the assistance of their Daughter Emma Mew (13 years old) made this webpage, their other Daughter Olivia Mew (10 years old) helped hand out the winter flyers, and of course their cat - Piper - who welcomes the customers. With over 3000 square feet of loft, Hurricane Canvas has been running for over 25 years in businness.
