Sustainability
OUR FABRICS
ILOWA swim pieces are crafted from carefully selected innovative, sustainable fabrics that align with our values. Our pieces are made using Vita by Carvico (Italy) and Reclaim Prime (USA)—premium materials crafted from ECONYL® and REPREVE® yarns, which are regenerated from ocean waste like fishing nets and recycled plastic bottles as well as post-consumer waste. Both fabrics are Saltwater and chlorine-resistant and UV 50+ protected.
About ECONYL®
ECONYL® is a regenerated nylon made from rescued ocean waste like discarded fishing nets, fabric scraps, and industrial plastic. Through an innovative closed-loop process, these materials are transformed into a premium fabric that’s just as strong, soft, and flexible as virgin nylon—without the environmental cost.
About REPREVE®
REPREVE® is a high-performance fiber made from recycled plastic bottles, giving post-consumer waste a second life. Through advanced recycling technology, plastic is transformed into durable, flexible yarns that perform beautifully in swimwear—without compromising on comfort or quality.
By using a combination of these fabrics, ILOWA is helping divert plastics and waste from landfill and oceans, one swimsuit at a time.
PACKAGING
Sustainability doesn’t stop at our swimwear—it carries through every detail, right down to our packaging. From production to delivery, we’re committed to minimising our environmental impact at every stage. Our mailers are made from 100% recycled Ocean Bound Plastic, giving new life to materials that would otherwise pollute our waterways.
By turning waste into something purposeful, we ensure that your order arrives not only beautifully packed, but also in line with our promise to protect the planet.
MANUFACTURING
Our swimwear is ethically made in Bali, where craftsmanship and care go hand in hand. We work with a production partner that prioritises fair wages, safe working conditions, and overall employee well-being. By fostering a respectful, supportive environment for their team, they uphold the high standards of quality and integrity that define our brand. Every piece is thoughtfully made by people who are valued, respected, and empowered
