Pangaia is a materials science company that brings breakthrough textiles into everyday wardrobe staples, bio-based, regenerative, recycled, and responsibly sourced fabrics shaped into premium lifestyle apparel. Founded in 2018–2019 from Miroslava Duma’s Future Tech Lab collective, Pangaia positions itself as scientists, technologists, and designers collaborating to make fashion less extractive.
The brand is known for popularizing plant-derived and recycled materials at consumer scale (including seaweed and other bio-based fibers in signature pieces) while investing in planetary pillars around climate, water, and biodiversity. Initiatives such as Bee:Wild and partnerships like Coral Gardeners extend the company’s story beyond product into ecosystem stewardship.
As a B Corp-certified company, Pangaia aims to prove that materials innovation can sit at the center of a commercial fashion business, not as a capsule afterthought, but as the core product thesis.
