The fabrics, noble and precious, are imported directly from the Pacific, then are sent to the Basque coast, where Alexandra Poquet transforms them into a superb range with summer motifs, reminiscent of the islands.
–You can find palm leaves, hibiscus, pineapples, shells and other Maori motifs. The whole being embellished with gold and silver braid, or colored pompoms.
« My products are beautiful artisanal creations, and are handmade with passion, all in the Basque Country. POCA evokes both natural elements such as the ocean, sun, waves and palm trees, as well as sensations such as well-being, serenity, cocooning, and relaxation. It’s an island-inspired lifestyle », Explains Alexandra.
Each of his creations is unique, and combines beauty and comfort. For example, its beach towels are a fabulous blend of quality fabric and terry cloth, which ensures a durable, efficient and soft product. One of the other strengths of these sheets is their weight, which prevents them from blowing off at the slightest gust of wind. A significant asset when you go swimming and leave your towel on the beach.
Finally, the size of these towels is also a very big plus point. The products can be up to 140cm wide and 180cm long, which can be shared.

An ecological commitment …
The concept of consumption must change, it is, in my opinion, important to participate in the dissemination of a collective message for the planet », Develops Alexandra Poquet. Associated with the Water Family, an association whose mission is to educate about the protection of water, health and the planet, POCA also acts in this direction.
« Water is a messenger for me. We are made from 70% water, and the oceans make up 2/3 of our planet, but we don’t take care of them. We use it, pollute it and waste it when we have it in abundance. This is the reason why POCA supports the Water Family.
« For each creation, POCA will donate a percentage to the association. This is so that each purchase is no longer a passive consumption, but rather active and participatory. I believe in the collective conscience », Concludes the designer.
