Sustainability

After a year in the swimwear business, my journey took a transformative turn when I discovered Amni® Soul Eco, a revolutionary biodegradable yarn that is changing the landscape of sustainable fashion. This groundbreaking material, crafted with an enhanced polyamide 6.6 formula, allows garments to decompose swiftly and responsibly after being properly discarded. Retaining the durability and quality inherent with polyamide fiber, it offers additional benefits such as a soft touch, comfort, and easy care. Degrading in approximately three years, Amni® Soul Eco decomposes ten times faster than conventional polyamides, making a profound impact on the eco-sustainability of fashion. This innovative solution not only enhances landfill productivity by accelerating the degradation rate but also directly contributes to the preservation of green areas.

Inspired by the potential of this game-changing material, I eagerly ordered samples to experience its qualities firsthand. To my delight, the material surpassed all expectations, boasting unparalleled softness and superior quality. My clients shared their enthusiasm, impressed by both the luxurious feel and the profound sustainability behind it. Determined to align my business practices with my environmental values, I made the decision to decrease the supply of regular swimsuits and prioritize eco-friendly alternatives. While we may not be entirely eco-friendly yet, it is our unwavering commitment to make this transition a reality in the near future.

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the Amni® Soul Eco collection. One of our Eco collection -  Brazil Raiz, utilizes fabric made from recycled plastic bottles, further reducing our environmental footprint and promoting circularity in fashion. We take pride in our conscious approach to fashion, ensuring that our employees are provided with fair wages and safe working conditions. With manufacturing based in Brazil and our headquarters located in San Antonio, Texas, we prioritize transparency and accountability throughout our supply chain.

In our pursuit of sustainability, every detail matters. From the materials we use to the packaging we choose, we strive to minimize our impact on the planet. Our shipping packaging is exclusively crafted from recycled and eco-friendly materials. Our boxes are 100% compostable and recyclable, while our plastic bags and tissue paper are also compostable, reflecting our dedication to sustainability at every stage of our brand's journey.

In embracing sustainable fashion, we recognize that every step forward holds the power to catalyze change in the industry and beyond. By supporting conscious fashion choices, we not only advocate for the health of our planet and oceans but also inspire a collective shift towards a more sustainable future.

Together, let us take bold strides towards a fashion industry that honors both style and sustainability, one swimsuit at a time.
