ABOUT US

THE OUTDOOR COMFORT WE NEED DIDN'T EXIST, SO WE CREATED IT.

YEPI was founded in New York City in 2024 with a simple but yet revolutionary mission: to provide a pillow that redefines outdoor comfort.

We understand the desire to relax outdoors without compromising on comfort. That's why we created YEPI - a lightweight, water-repellent, and portable pillow designed for convenience and style.

It's more than just a pillow - it's a lifestyle.

Matilde & Rita

Meet us: Matilde and Rita, the faces behind YEPI.

As two "corporate girlies" trying to make a living in NYC, we often spent too much time in our offices or commuting.

We longed to spend our free time outdoors, enjoying the sun and socializing with friends. However, we frequently ended up with terrible back pain after hours of sitting on the grass in various parks across the city or at the beach. We knew there had to be a better way!

We often wondered if there was an easy and comfortable option out there that didn't involve carrying a big, heavy chair halfway through the city.

This led to the question: “Why can’t we create something cool and easy to carry, for people to be comfy outdoors?"

Determined to find a solution, we decided to create the ultimate outdoor comfort accessory. That's when we brought our vision to life - YEPI, your everyday pillow.

Our Values

  • FEMALE EMPOWERMENT

    We are proud to be a female-founded business. Our mission is to inspire women everywhere to pursue their dreams and never quit along the way. We believe in leading by example, showing that it's okay to take risks and start your own business, even when fear is present. While female empowerment is at the core of our values, we are truly grateful for the support of everyone who has challenged us to grow and succeed. At YEPI, collaboration knows no gender - we are here to empower everyone.

    At YEPI, sustainability is key. With guidance from our experienced seamstresses, we have prioritized quality water-repellent fabrics ethically made in Portugal. Partnering with a local factory, we ensure responsible production practices every step of the way. From sourcing to manufacturing, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact while delivering top-notch products to you.

  • DIVERSITY

    Inspired by the vibrant culture of New York City, we created a brand that celebrates diversity in all its forms - whether it's through our patterns, colors, or sizes. Our goal is to ensure that everyone can find a YEPI that reflects their unique taste and style. As we expand our collections, we are committed to offering even more options for different preferences and lifestyles. At YEPI, inclusivity is one of our priorities.
