One of the more luxury choices in the eco-swimwear category is British swim and beach brand Lilliput & Felix, which holds Positive Luxury’s Butterfly Mark for being committed to social and environmental sustainability.

Finisterre
Flurocarban is often used to make swimwear water-repellent, but can be harmful, so Finisterre uses Neoseed instead, which contains botanic extracts rather than fluorine.
Weekday
Making chic simple swimsuits that are on-trend for summer, Weekday makes their eco-swimwear from recycled polyamide, produced using waste products including old nets and carpets and PET bottles.
Batoko
Made using 100% recycled plastic waste that would have ended up in landfill, Batako focuses on small collections and keeps sustainability at the heart of its business, producing limited lines at a manageable rate. They also produce very cute children’s swimwear collections.
We Are We Wear
Check out We Are We Wear’s Eco Edit, which is produced in Italy from waste products including plastic and fabric scraps. Affordable and chic, this eco-swimwear line is well worth checking out.
