Swimbarre's Commitment to Sustainability

At Swimbarre, we take a slower approach to fashion by using high-quality, sustainably sourced materials and producing no more than we need. Sustainability is not just a trend, it's a fundamental principle that guides everything we do. From the materials we use to the way we manufacture; we are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and promoting a more sustainable future for fashion.

Our modern designs last for more than a season and are created to be styled your way.

Eco-Friendly Materials

Central to Swimbarre's sustainability efforts is our choice of materials. We proudly use ECONYL® yarns sourced from discarded fishing nets, and other pre and post-consumer waste to create our luxurious styles. We also use recycled polyester and eco dyes.
By repurposing these materials, we not only reduce waste in our oceans and landfills but also help conserve precious natural resources.

Supporting Ethical Manufacturing


In addition to using eco-friendly materials, Swimbarre is dedicated to ethical manufacturing practices. We partner with manufacturers who share our commitment to fair labour practices.
By prioritising ethical manufacturing, we strive to promote social responsibility throughout our supply chain.

Transparency and Accountability

At Swimbarre, we believe in transparency and accountability. We are committed to providing our customers with clear and honest information about our sustainability initiatives, including our choice of materials, manufacturing processes, and environmental impact. By fostering open communication and accountability, we aim to build trust and empower consumers to make informed decisions about their purchases.

Continuous Improvement

While we are proud of our sustainability achievements, Swimbarre recognises that
sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation, constantly seeking out new ways to enhance our sustainability practices and reduce our environmental impact. Through ongoing research, collaboration, and investment in sustainable technologies, we strive to lead the way towards a more sustainable future for fashion.

Responsible


Swimbarre's sustainability efforts are rooted in our core values of environmental social responsibility, and transparency. By prioritising eco-friendly materials, ethical manufacturing, and continuous improvement, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet and inspiring others to join us in our journey towards a more sustainable fashion industry.
We adhere to the highest standards of quality and support ethical and sustainable
manufacturing.

ECONYL® yarn is a 100% regenerated nylon fibre

We use ECONYL® regenerated polyamide from pre and post consumer nylon waste. Our intent is for our customers to make more creative and considered choices, steering away from a throwaway culture of fast fashion, and  reducing our environmental impact.

01. Rescue

The ECONYL® Regeneration System starts with rescuing waste, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic all over the world. That waste is then sorted and cleaned to recover all of the nylon possible.

02. Regenerate

Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to its original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as virgin nylon.

03. Remake

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is processed into yarns and polymers for the fashion and interior industries.

04. Reimagine

The beauty of ECONYL® regenerated nylon is that it has the
potential to be recycled infinitely, without ever losing its quality. We believe circular design is the future and using ECONYL® is our first step on that journey.
