Whether you’re a start-up or an established brand, if sustainability and ethics are your focus, you’re in the right place. By choosing recycled fabrics over new materials, you can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 80%, positioning your brand as both sustainably produced and environmentally friendly. Each piece is carefully packed in 100% biodegradable Avani cassava bags, decomposing within 24 hours in any landfill.

Sustainability
The majority of our fabrics are recycled, sourced from leading suppliers like Carvico and ECONYL® in Italy, and REPREVE® in the USA. Crafted from salvaged fishing nets, ocean waste, and recycled plastic bottles, these fabrics reduce water usage by 90%. They’re engineered to withstand chlorine, saltwater, and UV exposure, making them ideal for frequent wear. With superior body-sculpting properties and an ultra-soft, comfortable feel, our fabrics offer the perfect blend of style and durability. Available in a range of weights, textures, and finishes, you can choose the best material to suit your brand’s needs.
Fabrics Certification
ECONYL®, an Italian company, produces recycled yarns from discarded fishing nets and plastic bottles. These yarns are used by Carvico to create high-quality, flexible fabrics for swimwear. By blending ECONYL® with materials like Suplex or Extra Life Lycra, the resulting fabric offers excellent stretch and a soft feel.
What are Ghosts Nets?
“Ghost nets” are abandoned fishing nets that continue to harm marine life, entangling and killing various species, from fish to large mammals. These nets can persist in oceans for up to 5,000 years, causing significant ecological damage. Alarmingly, fishing nets make up about 10% of ocean waste, underscoring the importance of recycling initiatives like ECONYL®’s to address this environmental issue.
Preserving Our Oceans And Biodiversity
Each year, eight million tons of waste and 640,000 tons of fishing nets are dumped into our oceans. If this trend continues, our oceans could hold more garbage than fish by 2050 — a problem we must tackle now. By partnering with Swimwear Bali, you’re making a meaningful step towards a cleaner ocean and a more sustainable future.
