Does Your Swimwear Release Microplastics When Wet?
How fibre choice and fabric construction influence shedding — and what brands can do about it.
Private label and custom bikinis in recycled Italian fabrics. From 300 units, split across six styles.
Bikinova Swimwear Co., Ltd. helps fashion entrepreneurs and established labels build swimwear collections end to end — either through our fit-tested ready designs or by developing your own custom designs in-house. Every garment is cut and sewn ethically in our London studio.
Because pattern cutting, toiling, sampling, grading and production sit under one roof, our technicians work directly with you to perfect the fit of each style — no handovers between agents, and full visibility at every stage for buyers worldwide.
Our ManufacturingWe are a UK swimwear manufacturer offering both a ready-designs private label catalogue and full custom development for clients worldwide. Mix both routes in a single collection to launch faster without compromising your signature pieces.
A complete B2B service stack for swimwear brands — plan, develop and produce with one accountable partner.
Strategic guidance so your launch stays on budget and on schedule.
Technical craft that turns concepts into production-ready garments.
Controls that protect quality from the first cut to your warehouse.
Our minimum order can be split across up to six styles at 50 units each, and every style can be divided into different colours and sizes. We count a bikini top, a bikini bottom and a one-piece swimsuit as one style each — so a matching bikini set uses two of your six style slots.
| Styles | Units per style | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 style | 300 | 300 units |
| 2 styles | 150 | 300 units |
| 4 styles | 75 | 300 units |
| 6 styles | 50 | 300 units |
Buyer tip: launching three bikini sets (3 tops + 3 bottoms) at 50 units each meets the MOQ while testing three colourways in-market.
Developing a style from scratch normally takes one to two months. Our private label catalogue lets you bypass that stage: choose the styles, fabrics and colours you like, approve a physical sample, then place your bulk order.
We source only premium swimwear fabrics made in Italy — regenerated from recycled plastic bottles (PET) and ECONYL® nylon reclaimed from ocean and landfill waste such as fishing nets and carpet fluff.
Yarns spun from post-consumer plastic bottles, diverting waste from landfill.
ECONYL® regenerated nylon made from recovered fishing nets and nylon waste.
Fibres that can be regenerated again, keeping materials in use for longer.
Premium mills with consistent quality and traceable recycled content.
Measurable commitments inside our studio — not just in our fabric choices.
A digital pattern system prints and cuts graded patterns in the most economical layout, halving paper and card use.
Economic motors fitted to every industrial sewing machine cut energy draw on the production floor.
LED fixtures throughout our building reduce lighting energy and associated CO₂ emissions.
We only make the units you order — no speculative stock, no over-ordering of fabric or trims.
Samples and production ship in recycled materials, with compostable or biodegradable bags separating sizes and styles.
Shipments travel in donated, re-used cardboard boxes — we never use boxes made from new materials.
Leftover fabric is recycled, or turned into scrunchies and headbands on request.
A donation for every garment produced supports non-profits protecting the planet.
Transparent stages and realistic lead times so you can plan your launch with confidence.
