Our story

We have a vision for a fashion industry that holds planet, people and passion at its core.  We’re creating a cleaner fashion industry, we’re protecting the people working in it and using our passion for design to create beautiful products that have a strong identity and story behind them.  Our journey with Pure Pod began in 2007 when ethical fashion was still in its infancy. With each capsule collection we’ve grown our knowledge and our client base of women who care about what they wear, how it is made and who is making it.  In 2017 we celebrate 10 years of Pure Pod and we want you by our side. Share our journey, meet fabulous new collaborators and learn how to be a conscious consumer and sustainable stylist.
