Fabric Sourcing FAQ
Questions From Swimwear Buyers
Can swimwear fabrics truly be eco-friendly without losing stretch?
Yes. By using advanced chemical regeneration, materials like ECONYL regenerated nylon possess the identical chemical polymer chain of petroleum virgin nylon. They offer equivalent bidirectional elongation, recovery memory, and tensile resilience while consuming up to 80% less fossil oil in manufacturing.
What are the differences between recycled nylon and recycled polyester?
Recycled nylon (ECONYL) delivers a silkier, cooler touch and exceptional four-way stretch, making it the premier choice for luxury bikini tops and bottoms. Recycled polyester (REPREVE) holds disperse dyes exceptionally well, making it ideal for engineered digital sublimation prints and structured swim shorts.
Are care instructions different for recycled swimwear fabrics?
Our high-grade Italian textiles can easily be machine-washed on a gentle 30°C cycle using eco-detergent. Because of their chlorine-resistant elastomeric structure, they retain hue vibrancy and contour shapes through extensive commercial laundering tests.
Can I order custom color lab dips or custom digital prints on these fabrics?
Yes. We offer pantone-matched lab dip dyeing for bulk yardage and OEKO-TEX certified eco-solvent digital printing on all recycled polyester and nylon swimwear bases with low production minimums.
