Pura Vida

Griffin Thall and Paul Goodman are the founders of the bracelet and jewelry company, Pura Vida.  Pura Vida was started when Thall and Goodman visited Costa Rica in 2010 while they were both still college students.  While there, they fell in love with the place, the colors, and the easy going lifestyle that was common in Costa Rica.  They met two people who were making bracelets on the streets.  Thall and Goodman were distraught when they found out that these two people, while making and selling beautiful bracelets, were struggling to survive and support their families.  Wanting to find a way to help, they ordered 400 bracelets and brought them back to San Diego, where they proceeded to sell them all in one small shop within a few days.

Determined to continue to make a difference, Thall and Goodman started the Pura Vida company, which means “pure life”.  The brand is meant to represent the little things in life and slowing down to live life to the fullest.  Pura Vida is now working with numerous artisans in Costa Rica, selling the handmade bracelets in hundreds of color combinations, all around the world.  They are currently working with over 800 artisans in Costa Rica, as well as in El Salvador, and India, giving the artisans an opportunity to generate a steady and stable income to support themselves and their families.

The simple action of seeing the struggle of bracelet makers in Costa Rica gave Thall and Goodman the idea to create a company and a movement to help not only the people they met on their trip, but others with similar stories, by giving them an outlet to reach a greater market with their bracelets.  This simple idea of wax coated string bracelets has now turned into a company that sells millions of bracelets world wide every year, while supporting artisans who would not otherwise be able to have that type of reach.
