Sustainability and Design

My mission is to make swimwear that makes a positive social impact and leads by example.

I make clothes that spread joy! Original, unique, and timeless hand-drawn designs that make you feel beautiful whilst making a statement for equality, environmental and ethical standards - with a focus on endangered species awareness.

I put careful consideration into each design; fit, construction, fabrication, pattern placement, garment style. I want you too feel the most confident you can whilst when wearing my garments. I also want you to feel good about wearing swimwear that you know has been environmentally and ethically made.

The fashion industry is the world's 2nd most polluting industry after Petroleum. This includes using half a trillion gallons of fresh water in the dyeing of textiles.

These dyes are often discharged into nearby rivers and eventually lead into the sea. These areas of pollution have shown a dramatic rise in diseases. Partly due to the use of highly toxic chemicals.

At More than swim, we use only modern light weight luxury swimwear fabrics, that have great wash and drying properties. That are also have a lightweight look and feel, with the added bonus of having SPF50+. 

I have adopted a process where we use eco-friendly inks which are directly transferred onto the fabric. The fabric is then (which has also been printed to size and shape shape), cut and sewn thus reducing our environmental impact.

 

 

Sustainability is key, so all garments are handmade to order for you in the UK by expert seamstresses. With their construction expertise they make robust perfectly sewn garments that have longevity so are perfect for the general swimmer and the wild summer alike!

Great for creating memories!

 

 

 

All my packaging is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

I donate a proportion of sales to Plastic oceans UK a non-profit organisation solving the plastic pollution crisis. 

I also offset the carbon footprint of each delivery by also donating to charities based in the Amazon jungle to conserve and preserve stress and wildlife.
