Fisch

Embark on a beachside adventure with Fisch's exquisite swimwear 80s-inspired styles, proudly crafted in Italy. The brand offers eye-catching swimwear and they're committed to sustainability too. Each piece is crafted with Econyl, a regenerated nylon fabric, woven in an Italian mill located just a stone's throw away from their factory. Moreover, the swimwear brand is a proud partner of Healthy Seas and together with a team of highly skilled divers, they're tackling the challenging task of removing ghost nets from our oceans. These reclaimed nets are transformed into the very fabric that Fisch uses, giving it a deeper meaning and purpose.

Paper London


Where every piece is a powerful statement for our oceans—Paper London’s pieces are made from recycled fishing nets and production waste found floating in our precious waters, each garment serves a dual purpose: reducing plastic pollution and protecting marine life. With eight million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans annually, the need for brands to step up and recycle plastics has never been more critical. Paper London takes this responsibility seriously, recognizing the urgent need to save the countless marine animals entangled in these materials each year. By transforming discarded plastics into functional swimwear, the brand creates stunning fashion and also actively contributes to the clean-up of our oceans.

Gnash Swim

As an iconic Australian swimwear brand, Gnash has consistently championed the high cut style, continuously refreshing it with new and exciting designs every season. While Gnash bikinis have always been showstoppers, we have always been obsessed with their “string one piece”.

Because sustainable swimwear should be accessible to all, the brand offers affordable pieces without compromising on quality or style. Their swimwear is manufactured using eco-friendly fabrics sourced from pre- and post-consumer materials. By giving new life to these materials, the brand reduces waste and promotes a more sustainable future.
