This story begins with a sustainable party tumbler, your favorite party cups alter-ego. Growing up in South Florida and living an active outdoor lifestyle, husband/ wife team, Brandegee Pierce (Co-Founder/ Design Guru) and Danielle Del Sordo (Co-Founder/ Chief Storyteller) grew tired of seeing litter scattered across their beautiful beaches. This fueled Brandegee to design the first of it's kind vacuum insulated red party cup. After countless 3D-printed prototypes created in their home studio (a.k.a. the living room), he was determined to create the last party cup you will ever need and help put a stop to the billions of single use plastic cups that are tossed every year.
In 2018 we launched Pirani Life on Kickstarter and were 450% funded! Life quickly changed from our one bedroom apt. ocean living to small business hustle after this day.
The first of it's kind, Pirani Insulated stackable tumbler was designed to keep the spirit of the occasion alive and your drinks hot or cold all while earning you some good environmental juju.
Shortly after the success of our kickstarter, we were fulfilling orders from our living room and soon had to move out of our one bedroom apt. in our beloved Lauderdale by the Sea!
Like the rest of the world, at the end of 2020 we changed gears and relocated to Asheville, NC. Fast forward to 2023 and we have a small, but growing team, and finally upgraded into our first real warehouse.
We are grateful to be a part of startup programs like the Outdoor Business Alliance and Venture Asheville who awarded us as one of Asheville's top 15 fastest growing startups in 2022!
Pirani's mission is to empower everyday heroes in safeguarding our planet through raising eco-awareness and creating high quality sustainable solutions to single-use products.
Every Pirani purchase translates to a direct contribution to the environment. We donate 1% of all sales to our non-profit partners through 1% For the Planet. Although we do our best in sustainable business practices, there is still a reality that all product based businesses create a carbon footprint. We consider 1% FTP as paying our taxes to Mama N.!
