Sustainability & Packaging
Embracing innovation and circularity, including upcycling, recycling, re-commerce/resale and bespoke materials and processes
Our Materials
To produce a responsibly made product, we choose each material with intention and care. When sourcing for our designs, we prioritize natural, recycled, and organic fibers and do not use any fur, leather, mulesed sheep wool or feathers.
Since 2014, 100% of our swimwear is produced using ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated recycled nylon fiber made from pre and post-consumer waste and fabric scraps instead of sourcing new nylon. That allows us to recycle waste materials and give them a new life. Check out the styles we have designed using ECONYL®.
We also use recycled polyester for our mens shorts and scarves. Click here to explore those styles.
Our packaging
Our packaging was was chosen for its low carbon footprint. It is manufactured in Ohio with recycled waste generated in the midwest USA. It is printed with Algae Ink, a breakthrough carbon negative innovation and is custom-sized for your shipment.
Our packaging is:
• Made with recycled content and post-consumer waste.
• Made with recovered trash.
• Printed with Algae Ink, a breakthrough carbon negative innovation.
People first
We place relationships first, treating each other in the workplace environment with kindness, respect and honesty. We aim to work in harmony, helpng one another to achieve the best results while minimizing waste and energy usage wherever possible throughout the entire production process of each garment.
