Reducing plastic waste, the brand uses reusable tote bags with no extra packaging for shipping its swimwear. All the pieces are made and designed in New York in a factory that respects the dignity of the manufacturers. The Luxe-ness: each piece is made from hi-tech Italian Eurojersey fabrics and double-lined for a brilliant sculpting effect and extra durability. The Eurojersey is breathable for extended wear and extra fine for superior softness. The swimsuits are also 10 times more chlorine resistant than traditional swimwear, and they don’t pill, where regular wearing can lead to small balls of fluff developing on its surface. Wearing A F L O A T swimwear will make you feel like an unbeatable superhero as you make your way to the beach or pool. Some of the designs come with sleeves, and the geometric shapes and vibrant colours will be turning heads your way.

The manufacturing is entirely ethical and carried out in Australia. The brand is also a member of Ethical Clothing Australia, an accredited body which ensures that Australian supply chains are fully transparent about their processes. Vege Threads is so sustainable that even their shipping service is carbon neutral with all emissions offset. The Luxe-ness: the trademarked Lycra Xtra Life fabric used in the creation of all of Vege Threads’ swimwear means these pieces retain their shape well (no sagging bits!) and are chlorine-resistant. 7 ways to colour-block your summer outfits Shapes in the Sand View this post on Instagram Ocean creatures of habit. #shapesinthesand #sustainablyshapingswimwear #NatureGirls A post shared by SUSTAINABLY SHAPING SWIMWEAR (@shapesinthesandswim) on Aug 4, 2019 at 5:49pm PDT <!--//--><![CDATA[// ><!-- //--><!]]> Based in: Australia Product range: women’s bikinis, one-pieces, rash guards and scrunchies The sustainability: made with Italian fabric using Econyl, the materials for all swimwear come from regenerated materials – removing waste from the oceans and our landfills. The fabrics are printed using a method that requires no water or harsh chemicals. And as for those hygiene liners that new suits come with, Shapes in the Sand has developed a water-soluble liner made from wood pulp and non-toxic inks. The Luxe-ness: the suits are all handmade, so supply is limited. They sit smoothly on the body and are all made from soft and durable Italian Lycra. Shapes in the Sand swimwear is also chlorine resistant and holds its shape better than traditional alternatives. The collections are highly evocative – with one returning us to our 1990s obsessions (in the best way possible).

It also keeps bottles and plastics out of the ocean. The brand’s swimsuits are also vegan approved and all the packaging is either recyclable or biodegradable. The Luxe-ness: OK, we know that polyester does not sound super luxe, but the swimsuits are surprisingly comfortable. They are also gorgeous and the cuts are designed to be flattering for women of all sizes – the kind of swimsuits you’ll want to wear as you strut down the street.

Vitamin A also donates a portion of their sales to the preservation of marine habitats. The Luxe-ness: Vitamin A’s swimwear is not only sustainable but stunning.
