PRODUCTION

Our swimwear is entirely made by Luka, in Western Australia.
The collection is made to order which minimises wasted inventory and means each piece is crafted with you in mind. 

Investing in local production is one of our core values and allows us to work in a more controlled and considered manner, reconnecting people and products through the story of making.

MATERIALS
We always look to source the most responsible fabrics and components available to us. 

Fabrics

Our swimwear is made from Italian fabrics using
ECONYL® regenerated nylon. 

ECONYL® yarn is a 100% regenerated nylon fiber
made from nylon waste otherwise polluting the Earth.
like fishing nets, carpet flooring and industrial plastic
rescued from all over the world.

We source the majority of our fabrics from the Italian textile manufacturers Jersey Lomellina & Carvico. Both our options are UPF 50+ and hardwearing, you will find the fabric composition listed under each item when purchasing. 

- Spruzzo & Sportive Maillot (UPF 50+)
This outer fabric is incredibly hard wearing and has a firm sculpted fit. 
Content : 65%ECONYL® regenerated nylon / 35% Lycra 

-  Remaining Collection

Components
