 MATERIALS

Beachwear requires very resistant materials that can be in contact 

with water, sun chlorine, salt, and sand; that are fresh and stretch. 

These materials are currently synthetic. 

Our swimwear and resortwear pieces have mixtures in different 

proportions of rayon, elastane, polyester, and spandex.

 someone who wants it & can use it.

SILICA BAGS

For exportaciones we are asked to use sillita bags, but this plastic 

material is normally discorde in the first use. You can help us to 

avoid purchasing more silica bags, by bringing those that come 

out of any other international orders or medicine bottles.

 

SHIPPING BAGS

National shopping bags are biodegradable, they can be 

disolved in hot water or in a common compost bin. For international shopping, 

bags are required to be plastic. As every country has different recycling policies, please 

find out what is the way to manage plastic in your country.

Caring for our clothes is caring for ourselves and our planet.

 

• THE IMPORTANCE OF CARING:

 

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion’s future (2017):

• 35% of primary microplastics entering the ocean are released through the washing of textiles.
• Washing and drying clothing alone are estimated to account for 120 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
•  Washing clothing using washing machines is estimated to require an additional 20 billion cubic meters of water per year globally.
• As garments are washed, chemicals that remain on them from production can be released into wastewater or transported on microfibres which are shed and end up in the environment.
• Product use is the second activity with higher GHG emissions accounting for 20% of the total value chain impact.
