Sustainable Swimwear: What It Really Means & How to Choose Better

When it comes to fashion, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword – it’s a necessity. Swimwear is one of the most important categories where conscious choices matter, since bikinis and swimsuits are often made from synthetic materials that can harm the planet. At Kokoaka, we believe that style and sustainability should always go hand in hand. But what does “sustainable swimwear” actually mean, and how can you make better choices as a consumer? Let’s dive in.

🌿 What Makes Swimwear Sustainable?

Sustainable swimwear isn’t just about looking good – it’s about the entire lifecycle of the garment:

• Materials: Using eco-friendly fabrics such as FSC-certified viscose, LENZING™ EcoVero™, or recycled nylon reduces environmental impact.

• Production: Factories that prioritize ethical working conditions and cleaner dyeing processes make a big difference.

• Longevity: A bikini that lasts for years is more sustainable than one that only survives a single season.

🧵 The Role of Materials

Traditional swimwear fabrics are made from petroleum-based fibers, which aren’t biodegradable. At Kokoaka, we explore fabrics like FSC viscose and EcoVero – both sourced from certified, responsibly managed forests. These fabrics use less water and energy, and they feel incredibly soft and luxurious on the skin. Choosing these alternatives means lowering your fashion footprint without sacrificing style.

🌞 Design That Lasts

Sustainability also means creating swimwear that holds its shape, color, and fit over time. By investing in quality design and craftsmanship, you’ll enjoy pieces that stay beautiful season after season – reducing the need to constantly replace your bikinis.

💡 How to Choose Sustainable Swimwear as a Customer

When shopping, look for:

• Certifications like FSC, OEKO-TEX, or EcoVero.

• Brands that are transparent about their supply chain.

• Timeless designs you’ll wear beyond just one summer.
