PMPNY: bold Designs fora Better Future

At PMPNY, we believe fashion should do more than make a statement — it should stand for something. Born out of a love for craftsmanship and sustainability, our brand is dedicated to creating bold, eco-conscious designs that empower individuals to express their true selves while advocating for a better world.

Our Story

PMPNY is more than just a brand name; it’s a reflection of our roots. PMPNY stands for PIMPINICCHIO, my last name, paired with New York — a nod to where our journey began. This simplification makes our brand easier to find, but the meaning behind it runs deep.Our story began with my childhood passion for drawing, art, and fashion. Growing up in Spoleto, Italy, a city rich in history and culture, I loved creating paper outfits and experimenting with my creative ideas. Despite pursuing a different academic path and graduating as a chef, I never gave up on my dream of working in fashion. My journey took a turn when I worked in one of the coolest boutiques of the time, which reignited my passion for design and craftsmanship.Determined to follow my vision, I secretly took the entrance exam for one of the most renowned fashion universities in the world — the Academy of Costume and Fashion in Rome.

With an excellent score and belief in myself, I graduated from the Academy, setting the stage for my journey as a designer.Immediately after graduating, I joined the La.i.pe team as the designer for Cromia handbags, an internationally renowned Italian leather goods company. This experience expanded my vision 360°, allowing me to work with prestigious names like Gianni Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Gucci, and Marc Jacobs. My creations have been worn by celebrities such as Elena Cucci at the Venice Film Festival, Sara Lazzaro, and Giulia de Lellis. I’ve also collaborated with designers like Michele Chiocciolini and Amedeo Piccione, as well as singer Syria.In 2019, I made a life-changing decision to move to New York City. Inspired by this immense city filled with opportunities, my vision evolved and ultimately led to the creation of PMPNY.

our Vision

A Personal Connection

The name PMPNY is more than just a brand — it’s a tribute to my grandfather. He was my first fan and my greatest influence, a man whose strength and determination shaped my values. A war survivor, an immigrant, and a self-taught craftsman who built our family home, he taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and keeping loved ones close. Much of my own passion for creating with my hands comes from him, and his legacy lives on in every PMPNY design.

Designs That Empower

At PMPNY, every piece is crafted with intention. I design my bags like armor — bold, edgy, and protective. Growing up, I faced challenges like dyslexia and bullying for my sexual orientation. These experiences made me tough and taught me the importance of feeling safe and confident. Carrying a PMPNY bag isn’t just about fashion; it’s about carrying a piece of strength and resilience with you.

Sustainability at the Core

Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering. While I love the variety and texture of leather, I struggled with the ethical implications of using it. Fashion leather often comes from the food supply chain, but I couldn’t ignore the toll it takes on animals and the environment. That’s why PMPNY uses innovative, cruelty-free materials like vegan pineapple leather. It’s a small step towards a future where fashion respects the planet.We’ve taken our sustainability mission further by supporting reforestation efforts through partnerships like One Tree Planted, planting a tree with every order. It’s about making a tangible impact on our planet’s future.

PMPNY is more than a fashion brand; it’s a platform for change. We stand for LGBTQ+ rights, environmental sustainability, and action against global crises like the California wildfires. Our mission is to design in small quantities, ensuring each piece is crafted with care, quality, and purpose. We believe in creating fashion that not only looks good but also does good.

Join Us

When you carry PMPNY, you’re not just making a statement — you’re joining a movement. Together, we can redefine fashion as a force for empowerment, sustainability, and positive change. Let’s create a bold future, one design at a time.
