The Brand

Pura is the Spanish word for `pure´ which is the equivalent for what the label PURA clothing stands for: Sustainable fashion for a pure conscience.

There is still a lot of unethical stuff happening in the fashion industry. Our goal and motivation is not only to create a bikini and sportswear line which is perfect in style and in fit but also to create pieces which are fairly produced and environmentally sustainable. PURA clothing only uses recycled or natural fabric that feels buttery soft on your skin. All our fabric is sourced from Italy and all of the pieces are made by hand in Switzerland and Italy. ​We have absolutely no air travel involved in any of our processes.

With every purchase you make, we’re donating 1 CHF to a non profit organisation that is fighting global warming!

In 2017 they collected 375 tons of fishing nets! The fabric contains 50% post-consumer (fishing nets and carpet fluff) and 50% pre-consumer waste (industrial plastic components).
