Alyssa Pullekines opens Folcland in Breckenridge, offering ethically produced fashion and apothecary items that celebrate community and environmental responsibility.
Alyssa Pullekines has established a distinctive presence in Breckenridge, Colorado, with her boutique, Folcland, which focuses on ethically produced and sustainable fashion. Her foray into the world of fashion began in college, where she gained experience working at a Vintage Consignment Shop. This initial exposure set the stage for her subsequent roles with New York City suitmaker Steven Allen and Bird Brooklyn after her graduation.
The idea of relocating to Colorado became particularly appealing to Pullekines during the Covid pandemic while she reminisced about her childhood summers spent visiting family in the region. After finalizing her decision to move, she quickly secured retail space and opened the doors to her boutique.
Folcland is rooted in the philosophy of “slow fashion,” which emphasizes quality and sustainability over fast-paced production. Pullekines curates a selection of clothing, accessories, jewelry, and apothecary items from both emerging and established independent designers. She aims to celebrate personal style while upholding essential human and environmental ethics. The boutique proudly showcases collections that are produced domestically or in collaboration with overseas artisans who adhere to fair labor practices and conditions. Each item in the store prioritizes low-impact and sustainable materials, reflecting a commitment to the environment.
In addition to clothing, Folcland offers a range of apothecary products that are handmade, toxin-free, and cruelty-free, made from responsibly sourced ingredients.
The name Folcland (pronounced folk-land) speaks to Pullekines’ vision, evoking a sense of community and shared responsibility for ethical consumption. She emphasizes that every individual has a part to play in caring for both each other and the environment through the choices they make and the products they buy.
Folcland is located at Main Street Station, 505 South Main Street, C2, in Breckenridge, Colorado. The boutique embodies a commitment to sustainable practices while providing a unique shopping experience that resonates with visitors and locals alike.
