Description
Join the swimwear revolution by wearing a recycled and recyclable swimsuit that fits your body shape, perfectly. Herewith a beautiful marrying of form and function.
The human's appetite to create new products and buy new products is infinite. The planet's resources aren't. But it's now okay because we can have both: new products and a better environment.
Nylon waste, otherwise polluting the Earth, is transformed into ECONYL® regenerated nylon. It's exactly the same as brand new nylon and can be recycled, recreated and remoulded again and again.
This means new products can be made and we can buy new products without having to use new resources.
This Lycra® swimsuit made from a recycled yarn called ECONYL® - made from regenerated waste such as old fishing nets and industrial plastic scraps. ECONYL® regenerated nylon is a product that can help you close the loop.
Made from waste, it's infinitely recyclable. It's all part of the ECONYL® brand vision to make the world a better place by pioneering closed loop regeneration processes and delivering sustainable products.

Story
It all started when Rosie set out to buy a swimsuit for her weekly swim in 2016:
“I realised that swimwear offered either style or substance but almost never both. On one hand – beautiful, flimsy bikinis for lounging about and ordering cocktails; on the other – serious sportswear that offered little shape, support or style. But I wanted a swimsuit that could offer me both.”
An impatient woman, she decided to solve the problem herself.....
'Rosie gathered a team of the best design experts out there, and together we listened as hundreds of you told us how you want to feel in a swimsuit. We looked at everything we didn’t like about the swimwear industry: from the airbrushed, sexualised models all the way down to the feel of the fabrics
And so we decided to reinvent swimwear. To develop a set of pieces that are transformational – in how they feel, how they look and how they are made.
Combining fabrics made from regenerated ocean waste, revolutionary production methods and a ground-breaking sizing system, to produce a set of garments showcased on a range of body shapes and sizes. You could say it’s a swimwear revolution'.
