A Sustainable Clothing Revolution
"Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want" Anna Lappe
There is no doubt that the future of fashion is circular
We know that millions of tons of plastics end up in landfill and get washed into our oceans every day. As a children’s brand we know that it’s vital to stand by our values and only produce garments that are mindfully designed and respectfully made in recycled or organic materials.
The fabric of choice for our swimwear is made from repurposed ocean fishing nets. One of the biggest dangers threatening marine life is discarded trawling nets and fishing lines. The other materials that we favour are diverted from landfill, such as the PUL used in our checked swim nappies, that is made from plastics. The lining of our swimwear is made from recycled plastic bottles PET.
We at Tyoub work to close the loop and participate actively in the circular fashion economy to bring about greater awareness and change.
