FAQ

The Brand

We are developing our own designs and prints. All our marketing campaigns. Include non-professional models but longtime friends with their specific characters this is what makes our snapshots unique with a flawless alchemestry. Our campaign represents real life scenic moments of a friends group.

Five letters: SUAMI. This word brings together our main components: Mi (“me” referring to individual freedom), Swam (the idea of swimming and swimwear), ami (meaning “friend” in French and associated with the idea of family). Backwards, it reads “I am us”. This sense of belonging as individuals with nature pushed us to make all our garments only from innovative fabrics such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, lyocell and Eco Vero (organic silk). Each one of the garments has its own stylistic identity that make them recognizable by having a discrete light gold detail.

We believe that clothes do not merely reflect who we are, but also shape us. This is why we combine our ethical, social, and environmental concerns with individual values such as freedom, happiness, and pleasure.

Because nature has a positive impact on us, we want to have a positive impact on nature. In order to combine social concerns and textile quality with eco-responsibility, our products follow a key principle: using both innovative and eco-friendly materials. To associate human innovation and conservation of the environment, the SUAMI philosophy is based on four eco-pillars:

● Knitting eco-yarns: we use raw materials such as post-consumer

● recycled yarns and biodegradable fibers in order to knit them into eco-polyester fabrics.

●  Upcycling: we re-use production scrap to avoid waste.

● Waterless printing: we drastically reduce the amount of water used in manufacturing through low-usage dyeing processes, preferring dry printing and finishing techniques.

● Sustainability: we create longer life products that have a lower medium-term impact on the environment.

All this is made possible thanks to our fabric supplier SEAQUAL™, a Spanish company that aims to rid the ocean of plastic waste by providing eco-fibers and yarns. For each kilo of fiber thus obtained, we alleviate the ocean of one kilo of waste.

SUAMI’s printed shorts are made from oceanic plastic waste. Thanks to our collaboration with the organization Seaqual™, we manage to create a cycle between waste and high quality garments. By using this 100% recycled fiber, we turn waste into a resource. For each kilo of produced fiber, a kilo of waste is removed from the ocean. We are able to recycle 10 plastic bottles to produce one swim short.

Our goal is to offer versatile swimwear. Swimwear that can be worn at various locations (restaurants, beach, nature) and various circumstances (water sports, parties, dolce vita), during the day or at night. But even more important than the diversity of contexts is the diversity of bodies. As an inclusive brand, we want our products to fit every type of body.
