our

Sustainable Approach

minimizing our impact

Being part of the fashion industry comes with a great responsibility towards our planet and its people. Our market is dominated by fast fashion companies who overproduce and release new collections every month, using cheap fabrics and production methods and show no efforts in environmental protection. We decided to walk a different path. We want to keep our impact on mother nature as small as possible. From day one we made it our mission to produce swimwear made out of environmentally friendly materials, produced under fair and ethical working conditions, and designed to last longer than just a season.

Sustainable

Materials

Most of our products are made of high-quality nylon which is regenerated from old fabrics like fishing nets, carpets or fabric scrabs - materials that would normally end up in landfills or the ocean. By choosing recycled nylon we are not only transforming waste back into fashion but also reducing our environmental impact compared to the production of new nylon. The high quality is guaranteeing a product that is long-lasting and more resistant to sun creams and oils. Another plus is that it is containing an SPF 50 for extra sun protection.

We believe that a sustainable approach doesn't stop by the right choice of materials but also by keeping the transportation routes between suppliers as short as possible. That's why our entire production takes place within Europe. The recycling process and production of the yarn take place in Slovenia, while the fabric is made in Italy.

Furthermore, our products are manufactured in Portugal, emphasizing our commitment to minimizing transportation distances and reducing carbon emissions. Additionally, our swimwear manufacturing partner in Portugal holds the OEKO-TEX certification, ensuring high environmental and safety standards throughout the production chain.

Fair and Ethical

Production

Starting with an on-demand production in Germany in 2016 we reached a growing demand over the past years that couldn't be processed in our office space in Hamburg. We partnered with a product supplier from northern Portugal who shares our values.
