Patagonia

History of Patagonia

Patagonia started out as a small mountaineering equipment company, but has grown into a complete outdoor company. Mountaineering is still an important part of Patagonia, but the company now also makes clothing for outdoor sports such as snowboarding, surfing, fishing and trail running. These sports have in common that they are silent sports; they do not need an engine or a cheering crowd. In all these sports comes the reward of hard-won beautiful moments and the connection between man and nature. Patagonia's values are those of a company started by surfers and climbers, and this is reflected in the minimal style of the brand; the design of Patagonia's products betrays a great preference for simplicity and functionality.

Patagonia ecological 

For Patagonia, it is only natural to protect the beautiful wild places where they practice their passion. The company actively participates in the fight against the deteriorating state of the planet. For example, the company donates 1% of all their proceeds to numerous grassroots initiatives that are trying to turn the tide. Patagonia realises that business - from lighting shops to bleaching fabric - involves pollution. That is why Patagonia uses only organic cotton and as much recycled polyester as possible. So Patagonia focuses on developing the best products without causing unnecessary damage to the environment and inspiring people to find solutions to the environmental crisis.
