We firmly believe fashion shouldn't cost the earth. From design to distribution, we use quality sourced materials, follow low waste ethical operations and use environmentally friendly packages for a simpler and more sustainable way of life.

Materials

Every detail counts. Our swimwear fabrics, labels, accessories and packaging have been thought and developed with the environment in mind.

We utilize certified fabric made from 100% recycled plastic PET bottles, without giving up quality or comfort in each piece we design. The use of our fabric gives new life to plastic bottles that otherwise would be swimming in our oceans. This high performance textile is obtained though a process that saves energy, water and emits reduced carbon dioxide in a 75%.

We reduce the use of single-use plastics, so that you too can be a part of this change. You will notice that our tags no longer come attached to our pieces with the typical plastic arrows. Instead, we now use cotton threads, it is a manual and slower process, but we like it, it goes with our ecological style and we understand that the time we take in processes that take care of the environment, it’s always well invested time.

Our loungewear pieces are made of linen, which is a fabric rich in goodness and is obtained from little industrialized manual textile processes. Linen requires less energy consumption compared to other fabrics and generates lower CO2 emissions as well.

Manufacturing

Every Morena Swim piece is now designed in Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and manufactured in Medellín, Colombia. In our cozy workshop a super talented team of women and men cut and sew your favorite bikinis.The regional factory where we digitally print the fabrics with our exclusive designs are 0% water consumption. The dyes are water based and free of substances that generate an environmental risk.

Packaging

As of November 2021 we started using recyclable and biodegradable packaging throughout our supply chain. Our bikini bags are made with cardboard and paper, replacing synthetic materials. The brand new tags are also made with recycled paper and attached to the garment with cotton threads. We have also recently incorporated mailer bags that are 100% biodegradable. It’s in the small things!
