Founders' story
During my fashion studies, I learned about the devastating impact the fashion industry has on the environment. Wanting to continue a career in fashion, I knew I had to do things differently.
After a solo surf trip made me realize I wanted to feel these beach vibes in my everyday life I combined that with the desire to create sustainable fashion. I started looking into beachwear and how to make it more eco-friendly. Of course, without compromising on quality and style!
The whole process from initial thought to actual sustainable beachwear (only swim shorts for now) took more than 2 years. It has been a long road, but we are only just getting started!
