Introducing

The Pina Designs Team

Join us in our mission to make the world a better, more sustainable place—one hair tie at a time.

Our Why

Every day in the United States alone, 15,000,000 hair ties are lost or tossed, amounting to 25,000 pounds of waste. Those 25,000 pounds worth of waste are the equivalent of 10 Honda Civics worth of trash in weight, everyday in America alone. Astonishingly, every single hair tie ever owned continues to exist in the world today, contributing to the growing problem of micro-plastic pollution. Despite their small size, the ubiquitous presence of hair ties poses a significant threat to the environment over time. Witnessing this wasteful cycle firsthand, we were driven to action. We wanted to make a product that is both good for your hair, and good for the planet. That is when we formed Piña Designs. We have a vision of making sustainable living the norm. Our first product is a biodegradable hair tie that is both stylish and sustainable. We pride ourselves in our values of only having our products made with fair, ethical labor, and having sustainability at the forefront of everything we do. We understand the weight of our responsibility and actively work to minimize carbon emissions and waste. Moreover, we recognize the importance of community engagement in combating climate change. Therefore, a portion of our profits are reinvested into initiatives aimed at environmental preservation and social progress. We want Piña Designs to become a lifestyle brand that people choose because they believe in our mission and the quality of our products.

Female Owned and Operated Sustainable Practices

Our Story

Our motivation stems from a deep-seated concern for the environmental impact of synthetic hair ties. Did you know that every hair tie ever owned still exists today, taking a staggering 500 years to decompose into harmful microplastics? We refuse to contribute to this cycle. That's why we've poured countless hours into perfecting our high-quality, long-lasting hair ties that won't slip or cause hair breakage. We want to make sustainable living easy and accessible to everyone. We are hoping to build an empowering, change-focused community rooted in sustainability and ethics principles. Our vision is to make living sustainably the new norm.

How we started

At Piña Designs, our story is one of resilience, passion, and a commitment to sustainability. It all began when four determined women came together during our business capstone, united by a shared vision to revolutionize the world of hair accessories and sustainability.

Our journey gained momentum when we dared to enter the University of Colorado Boulder's New Venture Challenge in 2023. Out of over 100 teams, we proudly secured a spot in the top five— the only female finalists among them. It was a testament to our unwavering dedication and belief in our mission.

Following graduation, we took a pause to navigate life beyond college, but our passion for our cause never waned. In 2024, we hit the ground running, channeling our collective energy into the development and launch of our everyday hair tie. Crafted from pineapple scraps, our products are not only 100% sustainable and biodegradable, but they also contribute to giving back to our communities by donating a portion of our proceeds with each purchase.
