We are a young start-up specializing in polyester-free golf clothing made from wood fibers. With our natural clothing we give your (golf) life more ease because we believe that the naturalness and serenity of the game of golf should also be reflected in your clothing.
In the world of paxariño, you don't just escape the stress of everyday life on the pitch, but rather by choosing your outfit.
Our story
Summer 2020
Our story begins with this admittedly rather amateurish drawing, which was created after a range session with golf friends. Sebastian had the idea of starting a golf clothing brand.
Winter 2020
All other golf brands use polyester almost exclusively, because polyester is cheap and easy to process. The harmful chemical fiber, made from petroleum, non-biodegradable and demonstrably harmful to health, can now be found in 90% of all sports clothing.
Their production pollutes the air and poisons water. Every wash cycle releases harmful microplastics that cause massive damage to ecosystems. Thousands of people have allergic reactions to clothing and tons of plastic waste remains in the environment forever...
Spring 2021
The solution to the problem lies in our forests: TENCEL™, made from sustainably sourced wood fibers, is highly functional, natural and biodegradable.
Summer 2021
After they finally found the right material, things became more concrete: Cedric drew designs, Sebastian learned to sew and a few weeks later they made their first prototype using Cedric's grandmother's sewing machine. The feedback from many golfer friends was overwhelming: “It feels so good. I never want to take it off again.”
So they decided in mid-2021 to found the start-up paxariño and go into series production with a Portuguese production partner. To this day, all of our clothing is made by hand in the small family business in Braga, north of Porto.
Fall 2022
The euphoria was great because the first half of the first collection called revolución was released in autumn 2022. It is characterized by unusual cuts and unusual golf colors and, in combination with the extraordinary TENCEL™ fiber, represented a revolution in golf clothing.
Summer 2023
The second half of the first collection called origén was released in spring 2023. It is a homage to Cedric's Galician roots. A combination of tradition and natural innovation.
With the first GREEN GOLF TOUR, Cedric and Sebastian traveled to the golf courses in northern Germany and sold natural golf clothing to interested golfers. The crowning glory was the GREEN GOLF CUP, the first tournament of our own.
Spring 2024
The second collection coastal whispers will be released in March 2024. It is the first part of a four-part series of collections with follow-ups in May, August and December. coastal whispers is an invitation to a tropical paradise. It gives your (golf) life more ease and lets you escape the grayness of everyday life.
This year paxariño will be at all major trade fairs and the two German European Tour tournaments to bring the message of more lightness and serenity, the message of from nature to you, to the golf world.
