Sustainability &
Our Ethos
Our Fabrics
We use fabrics made with ECONYL® yarn, a 100% regenerated nylon fiber made from nylon waste otherwise polluting the Earth, like fishing nets, carpet flooring and industrial plastic rescued from all over the world. Through a radical regeneration process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as fossil-based nylon and has the potential to be recycled infinitely, without ever losing its quality.
Our ECONYL® yarn is sourced from Italy, where it is evaluated as a high quality, durable and sustainable techno-fiber.
As well as being a solution on waste, ECONYL® regenerated nylon is also better when it comes to climate change. It reduces the global warming impact of nylon by 90% compared with the material produced from oil.
This yarn is used to create the luxurious, soft and durable fabric we use to make your swimwear. Learn more about the process here.
Our Packaging
We are proud that no plastic packaging is being used in the transportation of our designs. We partnership with The Invisible Company to have our mail sent on #INVISIBLEBAG.
#INVISIBLEBAG is water-soluble, compostable, and biodegradable, certified that it is non-toxic, leaves no harmful residues on earth, and does not form microplastic in an aqueous medium. It is made of a biodegradable combination of Polyvinyl Alcohol (known as PVA) together with starch, glycerin, and water. #INVISIBLEBAG is a sustainable solution for packaging, that leaves 0 imprint on our planet.
Our swing tags and labels are made from FSC certified paper and ordered from our trusted suppliers that support global reforestation. Certification is requested throughout our entire supply chain to ensure standards are always met. There are no shortcuts here!
