The solid coloured fabric used in this item is made from recycled and regenerated plastic waste giving these valuable resources a new life. The fabric used in this item is ECONYL, a nylon yarn regenerated from discarded waste plastics, such as fishing nets and plastic bottles collected from our oceans. These post-consumer waste plastics are given a new life in form of our swimwear items through a process that involves breaking down the nylon polymer into monomers, then regenerating the nylon into a new yarn. The breakdown process is done with only temperature and steam, without the use of harmful chemical agents, in a renewable energy driven process. Reusing nylon to make Econyl reduces the environmental impact of nylon by 80% compared with the material produced from crude oil. Read more about the process via the fabric manufacturer’s website .
The print fabric we use is also made utilising discarded post-consumer waste plastics. The manufacturer of the Repreve fabric we use is called Unifi – the company rescues plastic bottles from ending up wasted in a landyard and instead processes them into a high-quality recycled fabric which has the same, if not even better, qualities than a virgin fabric. Their program has already recycled more than 25 billion plastic bottles altogether! We are so happy to be supporting this great company in this cause.
Size & FitWe know that swimwear sizing can be tricky! If you need any help, do not hesitate to get in contact.
A lot of sizing is up to individual preference: you can think of whether you like your swimwear to be tight-fitting, which we recommend for water sports, or a bit on the looser side, which on the other hand is perfect for tanning and relaxing. If you prefer a snug fit, shop your usual size – if you prefer a more loose-fitting size or a bit more coverage, choose a size up. If you are in between sizes, you could probably wear both – the smaller one will be snug and the larger one more loose-fitting.
Please also note that swimwear will also always feel snug when worn dry and for the first time. The fabric will always get a tad softer after being worn a couple of times.
Care Instructions- Preferably hand wash at 30°C.

- Do not hang your swimwear to dry from the straps to avoid stretching.
