Pilgrim Surf + Supply
About Pilgrim
Before everything else, there was the shop. In early 2012, Pilgrim Surf + Supply opened its doors in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on what was at that time a quiet corner near longtime neighbors and businesses. Over the years, the shop grew into a sort of gathering space, as well as a business, for surfers, friends and our community. We 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, we partnered with Beams of Japan to pilot a residency in Tokyo, which proved to us that Pilgrim could expand in a meaningful, if unconventional, way. Since then, through this partnership, Pilgrim has opened stores in Tokyo and Kyoto, and our Pilgrim apparel collection has grown to what it is today. We 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 our order volumes low to minimize waste. These relationships have helped us build collections that bring unique fabrics to heritage staples, produced with extreme attention to detail, with a focus on durability and function. In 2022, we were honored to begin working with some of our favorite retailers in the world to introduce Pilgrim to their customers in the U.S., the U.K., and Europe.
Also in 2022, after 10 years in our original location that we outgrew in more ways than one, we moved shop to our favorite building in Williamsburg. We had the privilege of reimagining a turn of the century bank building into what is now our new home. We did so thanks to the skills and generosity of many of the same friends and neighbors who were there to see us off the ground in 2012. We are honored to continue welcoming artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers and surfers into Pilgrim, and are grateful for our community after all these years. We look forward to all that is yet to come.
