Continue reading as we discuss more about ethical summer wear. We will also showcase our collection of timeless, sustainable swimwear that is guaranteed to be your summer staple.
The Difference Between Traditional Swimwear and Ethical Swimwear
Traditional swimwear was introduced in the early 1930s, and Lastex (a rubber core wrapped with cotton or silk) was the primary material in making these pieces. In the 1950s and onwards, nylon and polyester were used for their versatility.
As time progressed, research for better materials to be used in making summer wear took place. Today, the market offers traditional and ethical swimwear. Below are the differences you must consider:
Materials Used:
Traditional swimwear
- Crafted from virgin synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex. These materials are non-biodegradable and petroleum-based.
Ethical swimwear
- Arun Swimwear utilizes eco-friendly or recycled fabrics such as ECONYL® (recycled nylon from ocean waste) or organic cotton. Swimwear made from these sustainable textiles reduces environmental impact and waste.
Manufacturing process
Traditional swimwear
- Generally produced in huge volumes by factories. Fast fashion brands are notorious for unfair labor practices and unsafe working conditions.
Ethical swimwear
- Most are handmade and produced in small batches. Arun Swimwear prioritizes transparency, fair wages for workers composed of artisans in Bali, and ideal working settings.
Environmental impact
Traditional swimwear
- Known for their high carbon footprint due to synthetic production and global shipping. Traditional swimwear is also one of the major contributors to microplastic pollution.
Ethical swimwear
- Specifically focuses on reducing emissions, land, water, and air waste, and less use of water in production. The sustainable line from Arun Swimwear is locally made with carbon-offset practices.
Design and lifespan
Traditional swimwear
- Aside from being mass-produced, traditional summer wear specializes in seasonal trends. These pieces are worn only a few times and discarded, adding more textile waste to landfills.
Ethical swimwear
- Arun Swimwear’s collection of eco-friendly swimwear, beachwear, and accessories is designed to be timeless and durable. We guarantee that our pieces will be your constant companions for many summers!
Price point
Traditional swimwear
- Due to their budgeted construction, traditional summer wear is generally cheaper.
Ethical swimwear
- Arun Swimwear's price of sustainable summer outfits is competitively balanced. We have positioned our pricing to be affordable yet premium, making sure that the quality we provide does not leave a hole in your wallet.
Purpose and mission
Traditional swimwear
- Fast fashion brands focus on earning profit by releasing traditional swimwear. They also aim to supply consumers with the latest trends that quickly go out of style after one season.
Ethical swimwear
- Aside from offering sustainable summer wear for modern women, Arun Swimwear believes that clothes are investments. That is why we focus on timeless pieces that will remain gorgeous for many seasons.
