Our Story
Our brand story begins with the vision of a Franco-Mexican team: Michele and Jérémie, both passionate about surfing and travel, sought to unite two worlds. On one side, the dynamic surf culture values of the French west coast; on the other, the vibrant colors and traditional craftsmanship of authentic Mexican textiles.
The result is artisanal surfwear that embodies a harmonious fusion of these influences — where the spirit of surfing meets the richness of handmade in Mexico creations. At Pakal Ethnic, each piece tells this story, reflecting a deep respect for ethical fashion, the boho surf lifestyle, and the timeless skills of Mexican artisans.
All our products are carefully crafted in collaboration with small family workshops in Mexico, many of which use ancestral techniques passed down through generations. By embracing slow fashion, we create items that last, carry meaning, and bring a touch of exoticism to your everyday life.
Pakal Ethnic is more than a brand — it’s a brand with purpose, offering artisanal surfwear that celebrates freedom, adventure, and the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
The Brand's CEOs
Pakal Ethnic Surf Shop could not resist having not only one but two multitask CEOs. Their involvement goes from strategic decision making to dealing with our orders pick-packing down to biking to the post office for expeditions.
