Built in barbershops. Made to last.
The name comes from my grandmother. Her family traces back to a Welsh pirate, and when I started this brand in Melbourne in 2014, it was the only name that fit.
Modern Pirate began in the city's barbershops. Our first stockists were Melbourne's core barbers, alongside a handful of premium shops overseas, and the test was simple from day one. If a product didn't hold up in a working barbershop, it didn't make the range.
Twelve years on, Modern Pirate is used by some of the world's best barbers. The pirate part has stuck in other ways too. I've built the brand while living and working around the world, and today I'm based in Bangkok. Everything is still made in Melbourne with native Australian ingredients like Kakadu Plum, Tasmanian Kelp and Red Clay, and I'm back regularly to oversee production and work on new formulas.
We're certified carbon neutral, and a percentage of every sale goes to Greening Australia.
Same standard, wherever you are.
