History
Founded in 2016 by Raj and Akhil Shah, Ably launched via a successful crowdfunding campaign. The brand introduced Filium technology, which allows natural fibers like cotton to repel liquids and odors without synthetic chemicals. This innovation challenged the dominance of synthetic performance wear in the outdoor industry. Ably’s contribution to fashion history lies in its integration of advanced textile science into everyday garments to promote garment durability and reduced laundering.
