Fashion has proven the innovation his here. With 1-off eco-lines, corporations poll consumers to see if we will choose sustainably or not. They could choose to simply create everything sustainably, as they have demonstrated they know how. But they choose profit over the planet, putting everyone & everything at risk. As consumers we have power. By choosing sustainably, we create demand for change. We direct the market.
LOCAL
Locally Made in Ca means we are not taking advantage of women overseas with lower wages
in unhealthy working environments.
It means a lower carbon footprint.
It means we support other local businesses, jobs, dye shops, print shops & sewers.
When our dollar circulates locally, everyone in the community thrives.
It’s just like shopping your local farmers market vs. a grocery store.
BIODEGRADABLE
Don’t worry! Our biodegradable nylon will not embarrassingly disintegrate on you while you swim. The decomposition process only starts when the garment is in the anaerobic environment of a landfill:)
Once in a normal underground landfill,
our fabric will disappear from the planet in only 3 years!
Other swim & activewear lasts 40-200 years.
And sheds toxic microplastics along the way.
Chemists created plastics long ago to last forever. An innovation that back then seemed like a solution. As it has now become a problem, chemists simply returned to the lab & designed synthetic polymers that purposefully do not last forever.
As we know the recycling system is broken ~only 9% of plastic is actually recycled. And there are not yet widely availably large composting systems.
So we believe biodegradable is the best solution for our planet right now:)
