Palominito is a Puerto Rican local brand inspired by the islands off the east coast — places shaped by tide, wind, salt, and community. Founded in 2020 by Carlos Edgardo Robles Bidot during the pandemic, the brand emerged with a clear purpose: to create a clothing line that resonates with skateboarders, surfers, boaters, and anyone who identifies with the spirit of our coastline.
Our vision is to represent the true essence of modern island life — free, resilient, coastal, and always in motion. Palominito aims to become a symbol of pride for Puerto Rico and for anyone who lives with the energy of the ocean, adventure, and community.
Our mission is to design Tide Tested apparel and accessories — functional, durable pieces built to withstand the elements and accompany every journey, from the streets to the shoreline. Every product blends quality with the rugged, authentic vibe of island life, celebrating the coastal culture that inspires us.
Palominito — built by the tide, inspired by the islands, made for our people.
