Frequently Asked Questions: Fabrics And Materials
Are you ethical and sustainable?
Yes. Absolutely. We don’t employ child labor and adhere to strict Brazilian tax and labor laws. For more information on sustainability and our Eco friendly fabrics please read this article.
Can you provide samples, patterns of material used to make swimsuits?
Yes, we can send you our bikinis. We encourage first time buyers to start off with 12 samples to get a feel for the quality and range of styles. You can choose from your favorite models (or allow us) and we’ll check back on availability. If you’re interested in sampling just one bikini, it costs $89.90 + shipping. A credit of $50 will be applied if you decide to place an order for at least 12 bikinis.
Do swimsuits come in sample packs so we can first check the quality and variety of fabrics before we buy?
We can send you a paid sample of your choice and include swatches from fabrics if you like.
Do you have a fabric design catalogue?
Yes, we do. You can choose from a myriad of fabrics.
Do you have embellishments or water and heat proof accessories to use on some pieces such as gold-tone chains, rings, etc.?
Yes. We have access to an infinite number of embellishments, accessories and trinkets from multiple suppliers. The options are limitless. We don’t stock them but we can source then locally.
Do you offer embellishments, stones or sequins on cover ups and bikinis?
Yes, absolutely. If you can dream it, we can source it.
How can I get a feel for the swim fabrics?
We can send you sample swatches of our fabrics to get a feel for them.
If we find a fabric elsewhere, which we want to use, will you be able to use the fabrics we provide i.e. with unique patterns.
Yes, provided it makes economic sense for you to do so. Usually it does not make financial sense unless you are able to source the fabric locally. Whatever you can find we can probably reproduce locally.
What Fabric options do you have and what do they look like?
The availability of fabrics, prints and colors are infinite. If we don’t have what you want in stock, we can source them from two of the largest fabric mills - Santa Constancia and Rosset.
What is the composition of your fabrics?
It may vary but most are 85% Polyamide (Nylon) and 15% Spandex, also known as elastane.
What material are your swimsuits made from?
Our swimsuits are made with the latest generation in Micro-fibers from some of the most recognized fabric mills in the world. These include Rosset and Santa Constancia. Most fabrics are eco friendly and sustainable.
What would be the cost involved for the samples provided versus prototypes?
Prototypes involve producing a bikini from scratch and that costs $150 whereas a sample from a ready made bikini simply costs whatever the price the bikini is selling for at wholesale.
Will you be able to provide fabric samples upon request.
Yes, we can.
Do you offer eco friendly fabrics? I want the brand to be eco friendly and made with Econyl fabric.
