The Pura Vida Store is a project that I had in mind, combining creativity, the passion and love for my country!
The Pura Vida Store: A Story of Heart, Adventure & Giving Back It all started one day —one that changed everything. I still remember the first time I came up with the idea. The air was thick with warmth, the waves crashed in perfect harmony, and the people… the people lived with a spirit unlike anything I had ever seen before. Pura Vida. Two simple words that carried an entire way of life—one of joy, simplicity, and appreciation for the beauty around us.
I spent my days exploring lush rainforests, watching sloths lazily stretch in the treetops, and feeling the endless energy of the Pacific surf. I met artisans who poured their hearts into their work—painstakingly crafting designs that reflected the soul of Costa Rica. And I knew, in that moment, I wanted to share this magic with the world.
That’s why The Pura Vida Store was born. Not as just another online shop, but as a bridge between two worlds—between the untamed beauty of Costa Rica and those who dream of adventure, freedom, and authenticity. Every design tells a story:
🌿 The Jaguar (Pantera Onca)—a symbol of strength and resilience, honoring the wild spirit that roams deep within Costa Rica’s jungles.🦋 The Morpho Butterfly—a reminder that transformation is beautiful, and life is meant to be lived in full color.🏄♂️ The Surfing CR Collection—because the ocean is more than just water; it’s a way of life.
But this isn’t just about fashion. It’s about preserving a culture, respecting nature, and giving back. That’s why sustainability is at the heart of everything we do—from eco-friendly tees to ethically sourced materials. Every purchase from The Pura Vida Store is a piece of Costa Rica, brought to you with love. It’s a reminder to slow down, to breathe, to live with gratitude. To embrace Pura Vida—wherever you are. Welcome to the family. 🌎💙
