Simian Saboteur is mischief in motion – disguised as a brand. And we’ve got a job to do.
Born from frustration with conformity and self-doubt, we’re here to sabotage the inner critic – that voice that whispers “you can’t”.
We don’t rage at the world. Our clothes are rebellion with a wink, designed as streetwear. Style that conspires with you – cheeky details, hidden sparks, armour for the everyday. It’s not about standing out for others – it’s about backing yourself.
Background
First came the fight. Then came the fire.
At 18, Ryan’s life was derailed by chronic illness. Doctors couldn’t help. For over a decade, he fought – physically, mentally, emotionally – experimenting, researching, pushing through the dark.
After more years of health struggles, Ryan was later diagnosed with Cyclothymia, a form of bipolar disorder.
Instead of breaking him, it gave him perspective. Resilience wasn’t an option – it was a necessity.
Creativity became his lifeline – the way to express, rebuild and move forward.
Founder & Director - 'Reach for the stars, even if you start from the jungle.'
Rebellion in every seam. Determination within every stitch.

Values
Simian Saboteur is proof that you can overcome.
That you can bounce back even when the odds are slim. It’s our way of giving others what they often need most – armour against self-doubt, sparks of mischief and the confidence to keep going.
That in the middle of the fight, creativity can become your weapon. Alongside him, Ryan’s Dad and co-conspirator, Darren, fuels the fire behind the scenes.
Together they created Simian Saboteur – not as a fashion label, but as proof: you can fight back, you can create, you can win on your own terms.
Director - 'Don't be afraid of being different, be afraid of being the same as everyone else'
Vision
Our vision is crystal: arm people with confidence.
Create clothes that feel like catalysts – sparking belief, igniting individuality.
One day, Simian Saboteur won’t be just a brand. It will be a crew of misfits, entrepreneurs, athletes and everyday rebels.
People with the guts to face life head-on – and the cheek to do it with style.
