Uses recycled and certified fabrics

The brand says it uses recycled and regenerated swim fabrics, including materials made from post-consumer recycled yarn and recycled plastic bottles. It also says its custom printed fabrics are printed with an OEKO-TEX certified process, meaning the fabric has been tested for harmful substances. The brand says these printing methods use less water and energy than some other options. It also says its solid fabrics are mostly made from recycled polyester and are sourced from a local Los Angeles supplier.

Uses recycled packaging

The brand says its packaging supplies are made from 100% recycled materials, with no virgin plastic used. It says the tissue paper, poly mailers, sticker sheets, and care cards are designed to be reused or recycled where possible. The brand also says its poly mailers have a second use, and that the care cards can be used as sticker sheets. This points to an effort to cut packaging waste and make shipping materials last longer.

Makes swimwear to order

The brand says it makes each bikini to order so it does not keep extra stock that could go to waste. It links this to the problem of textile waste and fast fashion, where unsold clothes often end up in landfill. The brand also says it turns fabric scraps into scrunchies, which is a simple form of waste reduction. It says it would like to build a more circular system in the future, but does not yet have the resources to do that.

Produces in a local studio

The brand says every bikini is made by hand in its San Clemente studio by one person, Mallory. It presents this as an ethical production model because the work is done locally rather than in a distant factory. The brand also says most materials are sourced from the US, which it says helps reduce transport emissions from overseas shipping. It notes one exception: the nylon thread is made overseas, mainly in China.
