Responsible by Choice. Powerful by Nature.
Our brand was born in 2019, in Sardinia (Italy), in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, led by a young Italian entrepreneur with a group of friends from all over the world. All unconditional lovers of the Mediterranean Sea, the idea quickly became a clear vision – creating a socially-responsible brand with a unique selling proposition and inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and its Sardinian roots.
From the depths of the Mediterranean comes a resonating strength as well as our brand name, KAMPOS, derived from κάμπος, a Greek word which translates into “Sea Creature”. In Roman and Greek cultures, it was sacred to Neptune and Poseidon. It was considered a symbol of power, authority and good fortune embodying strong emotions and intuitions.
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, so goes an old adage and it nearly always rings true, especially if the Beauty is indefinable, enigmatic, obscure. But the same cannot be said for the Sardinia, whose heart-rendingly magnificent Beauty is so palpable that even if the eyes of the beholder cannot perceive the beauty it would render them more susceptible at the very least. A transformative, primordial and ultramodern Beauty, made of stone, wind, water and salt.
A stretch of the Gallura coastline that appears to have been sculptured by the gods, and a crystalline sea whose exquisite colour is simply beyond compare. A Beauty that is so majestic that even “bad habits” are reduced to the level of human weaknesses and good habits (such as wearing a good swimming costume) can be born from the sea, bringing it back to life.

The Mediterranean Sea is at the epicenter of all modern civilizations, inspiring cultures and populations for thousands of years. In all its majesty, the Mediterranean region is home to some of the world’s oldest traditions and an international biodiversity hotspot with many unique species and natural resources.
From sunrise to sunset, the Sea invites the senses to explore. There is an explosion of bright and vivid colors, thousands of shades of blue with ivory tipped waves cresting onto white and pink sandy beaches, and evergreen vegetation painting the landscape. The wind wisps the waves towards the shores, gently kissing the coastland’s red granite rocks, making their surfaces smooth to the touch. And the delicate scents of myrtle and rosemary evoke memories that last for an eternity.
