Sustainability
Our goal is to be in a constant state of growth, not just within, but also with our community. Part of “growing” is simply being better than you were the day before. We aren’t perfect in everything we do, we haven’t “perfected” our environmental impact, but we are striving to take every step we can in this moment to be better… for ourselves, for you, and for Mama Earth

THE FACTORIES WE WORK WITH
All of our swimmies are made in Bali, Indonesia with an ocean of love at an ethically certified factory. From every bikini bought, our factory donates to grassroots organizations that support the environment, women’s access to education and those in need. We donate proceeds to ROLE Foundation and BALI WISE.
10 cents per bikini produced is donated to ROLE Foundation.
In efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we are working on producing locally in Miami, and finding a factory that meet all of our needs and standards.
