Plains & Prints

Our most popular plain fabrics include Reclaim Prime from the US and VITA from Italy, both of which are recycled. These fabrics are nearly identical in price, hand feel, and elasticity, allowing you to choose colours from either one or a mix of both. Many buyers are unfamiliar with the hand feel of fabrics, so we often use these to determine pricing.

Prints are digitally handled on Italian MS digital print machines using American recycled REPREVE® fabrics, imported weekly. REPREVE® is the softest fabric in our collection, offering rich, true-to-the-eye colours with superior saturation and hand feel, far surpassing anything printed in Bali.

Selecting Colours

Swimwear start-up brands often select their colours from our stock. These are not leftover fabrics but are flown in weekly as needed for production. With 85 trending colours and no minimum order quantity (MOQ) per colour, it’s an ideal way to begin your sustainable swimwear journey.
As brands grow, they often request colours to be imported in 70-meter roll-based lots for production orders. One roll produces approx. 200 bikinis or 100 bikini sets.

Notes

  • Stock Colours: No MOQ, orders dispatched in under 6 weeks.
  • Imported Colours: 70m MOQ per colour, time lines on request.
  • Pre-Orders: Most brands pre-order the colours they need.
