Our Fave Ethical & Sustainable Swimwear Brands
We know shopping fair trade and sustainable matters to you. It matters to us, too! The overwhelming majority of brands, particularly fast fashion brands do little to protect the interests of the people who make the products and the health of the planet.
While we hope you enjoy browsing all of the ethical products and brands on the site, we're always excited to share some of our favorites with you! That's why we compiled this list of ten fair trade and sustainable swimwear brands we know you will love!
Before we show you the list though, we want to be sure you to know this: we only include ethical brands on our site so you can shop with confidence knowing that all of the products you are seeing come from companies that share your values of protecting the planet and treating people fairly. If a brand has one or two fair trade product offerings but does not have overall fair trade business practices, then it is NOT on our site. (Bye, Bye, H&M!). Also know that we carefully vet every brand ourselves. If you're wondering about what we mean by fair trade fashion, check out our handy dandy guide to What Makes a Fashion Brand Fair Trade.
