SUSTAINABILITY ON A HUMAN LEVEL
LOCALLY MANUFACTURED IN THE USA -- Manufacturing all our products in California is a reflection of our unyielding commitment to quality and our socio-environmental responsibility. Local production creates jobs in our immediate community, actively contributing to the growth and prosperity of our local economy, and adherence to California’s high standards of sustainable practices.
ALIGNED PARTNERSHIP -- We acknowledge the privilege of having access to abundant natural resources and the exceptional skills of our team. In alignment with our values, we carefully choose partners who share our commitment. To uphold our high standards of environmentally responsible practices and a dignified and collaborative workplace, we maintain tight relationships with our factories through regular visits.
DIGNITY IS SEEDED IN OUR SUPPLY CHAIN -- From thread to coloring, our process blends fair wages and craftsmanship. Every person that touches our fabric has been refining their expertise for decades and is valued for their contribution. For our specialized textile team, production is more than a job, it's their piece of art.
RESPONSIBLE MATERIALS
SAFE TEXTILES -- All swim materials are certified to meet the global Oeko-Tex standard for safe textiles.
SUSTAINABLE YARN -- Our ribbed beachwear line is made from Tencel® sustainable yarn. These fibers are sustainably sourced and predominantly manufactured using beechwood, a renewable source.
DYEING SWIM FABRICS -- A sustainable dyeing method is used, minimizing strong chemicals usage by reusing the same dye multiple times.
DIGITALLY PRINTING TEXTILES -- Our specialists use no dye paste and significantly less water compared to traditional methods.
CONSCIOUS OPERATIONS
SUSTAINABLE STRUCTURE -- Our fabric mills use a vertically integrated structure that completes the entire fabric production process from knit to finishing in-house, decreasing our energy usage and carbon footprint.
HEAT/GAS -- Reclaimed Eucalyptus wood is collected from reforestation and used to heat the boilers. Clean natural gas energy is used which generates less heat, saving 30% on usage. Gases are also treated to reduce emissions.
WATER -- Rainwater is harvested from the roof and reused throughout the dyeing processes. It is then treated to remove impurities before returning to the environment.
RECYCLE -- Packaging [cardboards, plastic wrapping, and printing paper] is recycled and reused.
