Nature
We care about Nature
The textile industry has major effects on the environment. This is the harmful results of fast fashion and throwaway clothing.
We are passionate about creating more sustainable ways of producing and creating sustainable garments so we have opted to use recycled materials. We produce less products—but better quality.
Conscious fashion for environmental change
Nature at the Heart
Nature is at the heart of who we are, creating eco from our fabrics to our hardware, creating eco from our SEAQUAL fabrics to our hardware.
Fabrics
Our swimsuits are entirely made using light and comfortable material made from recycled plastic bottles (including the lining).
Zippers
The zippers are made from recycled materials, and are then recycled once more.
Labels
Even the labels are made of organic cotton.
Swingtags
For boutiques, Aima Dora eco swimwear provides labels made from recycled cardboard.
Packaging
The packaging sleeves are made in the same material as your bathing suit to avoid the use of plastic.
Aima Dora eco swimwear continues to seek the most eco-friendly solutions to produce the swimwear, the supply of sustainable raw materials and the shipment.
Zero-waste Production
Did you know?
About 30% of the purchased material isn’t actually used during the production process. In fact, it ends up in landfills during the cutting phase.
At Aima Dora we don't discard the material.
Instead, we recycle it by working in collaboration with a number of organisations in Madagascar. The waste is then transformed into pillows, rugs and even fabric pet toys… All made for the local population to use.
From thrown to sewn, creating swimwear for our customers and textiles for the community.
Recycling
Our dream is for our swimsuits to have more than one life… You give new life to your swimsuit when you wear it beyond the beach, but also when you decide to part with it.
Asking you to return it to us would only rack up the item’s carbon footprint, particularly as it gets shipped unnecessarily.
We strongly encourage you to drop your items off at your nearest textile collection bank so they can be recycled.
In return we will happily reward you with a future discount on a replacement piece.
Recycle, reuse, reduce, reward.
