+ Sustainable - This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, waste and allows us to create as little of an impact on the environment as possible. So thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!

+ ECO - Here at Francesca Page Collections creating products that are kind to our planet is our main priority. Our mens boardshorts are made with soft, comfortable and beautiful eco fabrics that are made from recycled existing materials such as plastic bottles and packaging. Using anywhere from 33% to 55% less energy to create virgin polyester and in effect caused up to 54% less CO2 emissions.

Pura Vida – Story behind the artwork

Pura Vida is a piece about of the project ‘Where two worlds collide’ which celebrates all things that live in and around the ocean and rainforest of Costa Rica – especially focusing on the area where these two worlds meet.

Pura Vida is a common phrase used in Costa Rica and translates to 'Pura Life'. I wanted to create something that sums up Costa Rica for me in one painting. Creating a fantasy and dream like world, playing with Vibrant colours, characters and composition. All reference images for this painting were taken by me whilst exploring costa Rica in 2019-2020. The keel-billed Toucan featured in this painting was inspired by my visit to the Toucan Rescue Ranch, where I had the pleasure to meet Patrick. He was one of the oldest residents at the Toucan Rescue Ranch. Patrick was confiscated as an illegal pet from someone's home and I got to see him enjoying his days at the Toucan Rescue Ranch, San Jose. I was captivated by his inquisitive funny character and knew he was going to be the star of the show in Pura Vida.
