In the Northern Hemisphere, as the colder weather creeps in, thoughts turn to jumping ship to a warmer climate to continue chasing the sun, waves and good times. Whether for a holiday or travelling stint, if you are one of the lucky ones treating yourself to some autumn/winter sun, Tide + Seek is the swimwear brand to take with you.
Specialising in beautiful, fun sustainable swimwear, Tide + Seek’s distinctive styles and unique prints are all hand-made in Bali. Each piece of swimwear is made with the environment in mind using REPREVE® fabric; a fabric that consists of 100% recycled plastic bottles. Meaning you will not only look good in your swimwear but will also feel good knowing that you are supporting a brand aiming to make a difference.
How it works!
All plastic bottles labeled with #1 on the bottom have the same chemistry make-up as polyester known as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), allowing the plastic bottle flakes to be transformed into fabric perfect for swimwear.
REPREVE® is a polyester fibre made of 100% recycled plastic, comprised mostly of post-consumer plastic bottles. On top of that, the production of the fabric offsets the use of new petroleum, emitting fewer greenhouse gases, while conserving water and energy throughout the process.
The REPREVE® fabric used within all of Tide + Seek’s products is chlorine resistant with a UV protection of factor 50. The quality of the fabric is so good with a super smooth soft feel to it, it’s hard to believe that you are actually wearing recycled plastic bottles!
