Five Sustainable Swimsuit Brands

 With summer in full bloom right now I thought it might be nice to do a little round-up of a few sustainable swimsuit brands.

1. REVVV SWIM

Best For | A swimsuit you can wear forever.

Ethics | 100% Italian recycled fabric, recyclable packaging, designed and made in New York, USA

Size Range | XS-XL

Starting At | $160

REVVV SWIM's swimsuits are timeless and designed to last forever.  I personally own this swimsuit and have tested it out at the beach.  All three of REVVV's swimsuits feature removable cups, double stitching, french seam, cross-back straps, and high-quality lining.  This swimsuit is sustainably made using 100% recycled nylon that features a four-way stretch, wrinkle-free, chlorine resistant, maximum UV protection with UPF 50+, and quick-drying technology.  All REVVV's swimsuits are ethically and locally made in New York, USA.

5B Swim is a swimwear brand founded by two women, Lauryn and Ashley, with an aim to create pieces for comfort and confidence.  5B Swim keeps their brand ethical in that everything is handmade by Lauryn, one of the founders, in New York.  Not only do they use sustainable fabric made from rescued waste that would otherwise be polluting the earth, but any scraps or leftover fabric is made into woven bags, masks, and scrunchies.
