Luxe Recycled Swimwear Fabrics
There are three ways to work with fabrics, with the most popular by far being selecting from our in-stock fabrics, some 50,000m in total, in some of the latest trending colours. Stock fabrics are not leftovers; they are flow in as we cut. Then again, you may request any colour not in our stocks to be imported. Plains & Prints from REPREVE® take four weeks to land & plains from CARVICO® 2 months. Lastly & the least loved option is selecting from what is referred to as Bali Swim fabric. These are available from wholesale outlets in Bali & are mostly copies of our higher-grade recycled ones & expensive also!
Note
As we own the only Tax-free licence in Bali on the import of fabrics, we save around 35% on import tax that all other Bali Swim suppliers must pay & add to your invoices, making us the lowest-priced supplier of lux swimwear on the island.
