Loop Swimwear UPF 50+ sun protective swimwear made from REPREVE recycled plastic bottles. Make less, and make it EXCEPTIONAL!

We're a multi-national design team based in Shanghai, San Diego and New York manufacturing swim and resort wear from exclusively recycled and organic fibers. All of our swimwear is made from Repreve recycled PET bottles (post-consumer use), offers UPF 50+ sun protection, and is manufactured in socially and environmentally responsible factories. We do everything we can think of to close the Loop on waste and lessen our carbon footprint as a company - from small batch production to using recycled fibers to providing reusable waterproof bags with every swimsuit purchase to eliminate unnecessary packaging. We have been designing and sourcing in the fashion industry for a combined 25+ years. Our ongoing mission is to build an engaged community of passionate eco warriors, retail and supply chain partners who share our core value of timeless, sustainable luxury.

From out there, borders vanish. Supply chains disappear. The garment worker in Bangladesh and the luxury consumer in Paris occupy the same sliver of reflected light.

🌍 While the world’s most powerful nation turns its back on climate action, here is what the headlines aren’t telling you this : the US is only 4% of the global population.

The other 96%? They’re moving.

☀️ Solar was the biggest contributor to new energy supply worldwide last year.
🚗 Electric car sales jumped 20% to over 20 million vehicles.
💨 Wind installations jumped 40%.
♻️ New AI-powered recycling facilities are creating technical jobs.
🔋 Battery technicians are recovering critical minerals.
🇨🇳 China and India’s emissions have been flat or falling for the last year.
🇪🇺 EU emissions are 40% lower than 1990 levels.
💰 A record $2.3 trillion was allocated to clean energy.
🌳 Rainforests can recover from deforestation in mere decades.

Change is not coming. It is already here. And fashion is no exception.

At Loop Swim, we see it every day. The EU’s new ESPR bans companies from destroying unsold clothes. Brazil’s waste collectors are shifting from “payment per kilo” to payment for environmental services. The circular economy already employs 121–142 million workers worldwide.

Through , we’ve spent the last two years asking the hard questions - about pricing, about supply chains, about who really pays for “cheap.”

But here is the truth: none of this is inevitable.

As Rebecca Solnit writes in her new book, everything is evitable. The future doesn’t exist yet. Recognizing that dismantles defeatism and cynicism - the pretend power of knowing what cannot be done. It abandons the real power we have: to make a future in this present moment.

That is what this Earth Day is about. Not easy answers. Not performative gestures. But sitting with the hard questions - as a crew, together - and figuring out fashion’s puzzle.

“Women are the environmental stewards, the carriers of ancestral knowledge... Women have built fashion’s past and they are fundamental to fashion’s sustainable future.” —

This Women’s History Month, I’m reflecting on what it actually means to build a brand with women at its core. From wide-eyed newcomer in Shanghai to founder of a sustainable swimwear brand recently recognized by as one of the top women-owned brands making waves in ethical fashion - it’s been a journey of wins, lessons, and work still ahead.

The stats are stark: 80% of garment workers are women. Only 2% earn a living wage. But numbers only tell part of the story. Behind them are real women - makers, menders, advocates - who hold this industry together.

Our latest goes deeper. Link in bio to read. 💙

“Earth is no easy boss.” 🌍✨

That’s the closing line from ‘s raw, 150-page sustainability report for 2025 - a report that admits even the most mission-driven fashion brand can’t truly be sustainable.

So… why do we keep going?

Not because we ignore the truth, but because we choose to work within it. With clear eyes, and with will.

In our final of the year, we sit with the hard questions we’re still untangling. Questions about repair, materials, and how to do better within a broken system.

We don’t have all the answers. But we’re committed to the work, to the community, and to the stubborn optimism of building something better - one conscious stitch at a time.

If you’ve been thinking about a swimwear refresh that aligns with that intention, we’re here for you with 20% off for the rest of the year with code HAPPYHOLIDAYS.

Here’s to ending 2025 with clarity, and stepping into 2026 with purpose. 💙
