Even with a closet full of options, with summer comes the incessant need to purchase a couple new swimsuits, but it might be time to reconsider our shopping habits. The industry is the second largest polluter in the world, second to only oil.
And whilst you might think you’re unable to singlehandedly rectify the issue, it’s important not to underestimate the power of the consumer. The very least we can all do is shop responsibly.
Shopping sustainably is key, and with the wealth of ethical swim brands coming out of the woodworks, it’s time to put an end to fast fashion. These are the brands you need to be buying this summer.
Fisch
Style is not a sacrifice if you’re wearing this sustainable swim brand this summer, the label is entirely made from 100% regenerated nylon fibers, crafted from abandoned fishing nets and other types of nylon waste.
Galamaar
Galamaar might have only been around since 2017, but they’re taking over the industry. The pieces are made from environmentally friendly fabrics and produced locally in Los Angeles.
UND Swimwear
Not only does UND swimwear use only recycled fibers to create their stunning collections, they also only work with sustainable suppliers committed to water efficiency, renewable energy, waste management, and low CO2 emissions.
