At Sandbar Swimwear, we do not just design swimwear, we design with purpose. Our mission is bold: to remove one million kilos of plastic from the ocean. Every piece of Sandbar swimwear is a small but powerful step toward that goal. Here is how we take discarded plastic and turn it into premium swimwear you will want to wear again and again.
The Problem: Plastic in Our Oceans
Every year, millions of kilos of plastic end up in our oceans. Bottles, bags, packaging, once they are in the water, they break down into microplastics that threaten marine life, pollute coastlines, and enter our food chain.
Fast fashion only makes it worse, producing clothes that are worn briefly and discarded quickly. We knew there had to be a better way.
The Solution: Recycling into Fabric
Our swimwear is made using REPREVE®, a high-performance fiber crafted from recycled plastic bottles. Here is how it works:
-
Collection: Plastic bottles are gathered from recycling streams.
-
Transformation: Bottles are cleaned, shredded, and melted into small pellets.
-
Rebirth: Pellets are spun into soft, durable, stretchable yarn.
-
Creation: That yarn is woven into the fabrics that become Sandbar Swimwear.
The result? Swimwear that feels luxurious, holds its shape, and looks incredible without costing the earth.
Why Sustainability Matters in Swimwear
Swimwear is not just about style, it is about connection with the ocean. Choosing sustainable materials means:
-
Protecting the waters we love: Less plastic polluting our beaches and seas.
-
Long-lasting quality: Our fabrics are built to last season after season.
-
Guilt-free fashion: You get premium design without compromising your values.
Beyond Materials: Our Mission in Action
Sustainability at Sandbar does not stop with fabric. We also:
-
Partner with ocean cleanup organizations to directly fund plastic removal.
-
Use recyclable packaging so your order arrives with less waste.
-
Design timeless prints so your swimwear lasts beyond seasonal trends.
Every purchase helps fund cleanup projects, meaning your swimsuit is not just fashion, it is impact.
Why It Feels Different
Many people expect recycled fabrics to feel rough or stiff. Our swimwear proves otherwise. Customers describe Sandbar pieces as soft, flexible, and flattering. Years of design refinement mean you do not compromise on style, fit, or comfort.
Final Word
At Sandbar Swimwear, sustainability is more than a buzzword. It is a responsibility. From ocean plastic to premium swimwear, we are creating a future where fashion works for both people and planet. Together, with every suit and every sale, we are cleaning the seas we love.
