NATURAL FIBRE SWIMWEAR FABRICS
In the shimmering world of poolside fashion, polyester and other synthetic fibres have long reigned supreme, praised for their durability and elasticity. However, as we dive deeper into the age of sustainability and environmental consciousness, the spotlight is shifting towards more eco-friendly alternatives. Natural fibres such as hemp and cotton are making a splash, promising not only a greener choice but also an array of benefits for the wearer and the planet.
HEMP
The use of hemp as a fabric for swimwear offers numerous advantages that go beyond its eco-friendly attributes.
01
CONSUMES MINIMAL AMOUNTS OF WATER
This robust plant requires a fraction of the water needed for cotton and thrives without the necessity for harmful pesticides, positioning it as an eco-warrior in the textile industry.
03
BREATHABILITY
Hemp's breathability is another key advantage, offering wearers comfort in warm conditions whilst also exhibiting natural antimicrobial properties, keeping swimwear hygienic and odour-free.
02
STRENGTH
Its fibres, known for their strength, lend unparalleled durability to swimwear, ensuring garments can withstand the elements without compromising on performance.
04
TEXTURE
Hemp's texture adds a unique aesthetic to swimwear designs, providing a natural, earthy look that stands out from conventional options.
COTTON
WATER IS REQUIRED
This natural fibre, cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, stands as a testament to the possibilities of sustainable agriculture. Organic cotton's production process conserves water significantly, relying on rainwater more than irrigation, and contributes to healthier soil ecosystems.
DURABILITY
Cotton's durability extends beyond its ability to resist wear and tear, as it also possesses resistance to bobbling. In contrast to synthetic materials, cotton maintains a smooth surface, preserving the visual appeal of swimwear over time and frequent use. Its resistance to bobbling, combined with the ability to retain its colour, exemplifies the enduring quality and sustainability of natural fibres, aligning with the values of mindful consumption and environmental responsibility.
HYPOALLERGENIC
For swimwear, organic cotton brings a soft, gentle touch to the skin, enhancing comfort for wearers. Its hypoallergenic properties make it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation that can come from synthetic materials.
ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton eliminates the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, drastically reducing water pollution and protecting ecosystems. This method of farming supports biodiversity and uses significantly less water than conventional cotton farming techniques, thanks to improved soil organic matter.
TENCEL
TENCEL, a brand name for lyocell, is increasingly being embraced in the realm of sustainable swimwear, thanks to its eco-friendly production process and the luxuriously soft feel of the fabric.
Derived from the pulp of sustainably sourced wood, TENCEL undergoes an environmentally responsible manufacturing process that recycles water and reuses solvents at a recovery rate of more than 99%.
Tencel is celebrated for its closed-loop production process, which recycles water and solvents, minimising environmental impact. This innovative fabric distinguishes itself by offering a luxuriously soft texture that rivals silk, providing unparalleled comfort against the skin.
This closed-loop system minimises waste and emissions, setting TENCEL apart as a champion of green fabric technology. In the world of swimwear, TENCEL stands out for its smooth texture that gracefully caresses the skin, providing an unparalleled wearing experience.
Its inherent durability ensures that swimwear pieces retain their shape and texture, even after repeated wear and washing, affirming Tencel's role as a sustainable yet fashionable choice for modern swimwear.
MODAL
Modal, a fibre derived from beech trees, is emerging as a favourite in the sustainable swimwear scene for its remarkable softness and environmental efficiency.
01
RECYCLES WATER
Its production involves an eco-conscious process that recycles water and reuses solvents, reducing its ecological footprint.
02
MOISTURE ABSORBING
This fabric is celebrated for its incredible moisture-absorbing qualities, making it an excellent choice for swimwear. It allows the skin to breathe and wicks away moisture, ensuring comfort and dryness during water-based activities.
03
LUXURIOUS FEEL
Modal boasts a luxurious texture, combining the durability needed for swimwear with a gentle softness that feels soothing against the skin.
04
RESISTANT TO SHRINKAGE
Its flexibility and resistance to shrinkage and fading also contribute to the longevity of swimwear pieces, offering a sustainable option that doesn’t sacrifice quality or aesthetic appeal.
LINEN
COMFORT
Linen, a timeless fabric, is made from the flax plant and is renowned for its sustainability and exceptional comfort. This natural fibre is lauded for its minimal environmental impact, requiring significantly less water and pesticides compared to conventional cotton.
QUICK DRYING
The inherent properties of linen make it a superb choice for swimwear. Its high absorbency and quick-drying capabilities ensure that swimmers remain comfortable and dry, while its natural breathability allows for optimal air circulation, keeping the skin cool under the sun.
BIODIVERSITY
Its cultivation enriches the soil's fertility and promotes biodiversity, contributing positively to the agricultural practices of regions predominantly in Western Europe, where the climate is well-suited to flax growth.
UNIQUE AESTHETIC
The structure of linen fabric gives it a unique aesthetic, offering a crisp and textured appearance that softens with each wash, without losing its inherent strength. This characteristic not only adds to the tactile experience of wearing linen but also aligns with a sustainable approach to fashion, encouraging the use of garments that improve with age rather than deteriorate.
