The Fabric
Together we have developed an exclusive swimwear fabric that is fast drying, chlorine resistant and embedded with UPF 50.
We are redefining the technical possibilities and aesthetic of functional swimwear garments.
THE PROCESS
Working with the circular knitting technique has enabled us to explore ways in which to produce swimwear in an innovative and responsible way.
Circular loom knitting machines create single piece three dimensional garments eliminating the off-cut fabric waste associated with conventional manufacturing techniques. This method of manufacturing is energy efficient, optimises yarn usage, reduces waste and minimises the need for additional processes such as cutting stitching and excessive finishing.
Our considered and responsible manufacturing process is an integral part of who we are as a brand.
