Pilgrim Surf & Supply Co
In early 2012, Pilgrim Surf + Supply opened its doors in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on what was at that time a quiet corner near longtime neighbours and businesses. Over the years, the shop grew into a sort of gathering space, as well as a business, for surfers, friends and the community. The store hosted artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers, and surfers. Shortly after, Pilgrim the clothing brand got off the ground working with a few small factories in the Garment District.
Around that same time, they partnered with Beams of Japan to pilot a residency in Tokyo. Since then, through this partnership, Pilgrim has opened stores in Tokyo and Kyoto, and the Pilgrim apparel collection has grown to what it is today. They work with small factories and maintain relationships with manufacturers at each level of production, using recycled and upcycled fabrics as much as is practical, and keeping the order volumes low to minimize waste. These relationships have helped build collections that bring unique fabrics to heritage staples, produced with extreme attention to detail, with a focus on durability and function.
In 2022, Pilgrim Surf & Supply opened up to a very small and considered list of global retailers that would help carry the brands product and message across the globe. Here at TGD, we are very proud to say we are one of those very chosen few retailers to stock this great brand.
