If the colours you want to add to your collection are unavailable in our stock, we import them in 70m lots via weekly flights into Bali. Please be aware that imported fabrics must be used in your production P.O. On average, 70m produces 100 bikini sets or 200 bikini tops and bottoms. Allow 3 to 4 weeks to import.
The majority of start-up brands choose their colours from our stocks, while more established brands request we import their colours.
Occasionally, overseas fabrics may be out of stock & require redying, increasing the timelines. Please check before you start your order.

Our Fabric Suppliers
Italian Carvico, the world’s largest swim & Activewear fabrics manufacturer, buys its recycled yarns from ECONYL®, who produces new yarns from salvaged ocean waste such as discarded fishing nets & plastic bottles. Carvico then adds Xtra Life Lycra to give the fabric its superb stretch. Almost 100% are purchased in plain colours.
American REPREVE™ is globally famous for its super soft recycled fabrics, offering some superb body-enhancing properties requested by some of the largest brands globally. Repreve is produced from post-consumer waste, such as carpets & plastic bottles, selected for both plain & prints.
Chinese Huading produces some amazing recycled yarns to compete against other more famous overseas suppliers offering very similar attributes & a super soft hand feel. We add their yarns to such fabrics as Eco Rib, Reclaim Prime & generic Lurex.
A must for designers!
We offer three packs: Active, Swim & Natural. Each pack includes one real swatch of each fabric displayed on either website.
With a pack to hand, you’ll be able to feel each fabric & its textures as well as being able to select your colours that much easier
