Be eco-responsible during your vacation: Adopt the Apnée swimsuit!

Summer is finally here, and with it, the irresistible urge to enjoy beaches, swimming pools and relaxing moments under the sun. But while we love all these summer pleasures, it is essential to enjoy them while respecting our planet.
At Apnée, we believe that everyone can do their part to protect the environment, even on vacation. And that starts with smart choices, like wearing an eco-friendly swimsuit.

Why do Apnée swimsuits rhyme with “eco-responsible”?

In 2017, we launched our brand with the ambition of creating quality, sustainable and environmentally friendly pieces. Today, we are proud to offer men's swim shorts and women's swimwear made from recycled materials. Our swim shorts are made from SEAQUAL™ recycled polyester fibers, a Spanish organization that collects plastic waste found in fishing nets and on beaches to transform them into eco-responsible fiber. By choosing eco-responsible swimwear, you are not only supporting sustainable fashion, but you are also contributing to the reduction of plastic waste in our oceans. You can even become an actor in the protection of the oceans by supporting our partner associations: Wings of the Ocean and Coral Guardian. When you order your Apnée swimwear, you can choose to make a donation to our associations.

Made in Portugal: ethical and local production

Made in Portugal, our swimwear stands out for its ethical and local production . Portugal is renowned for its high-quality textile know-how, which guarantees durable and well-designed products. Each piece is carefully crafted in local workshops located mainly in the northern region of the country, an area historically known for its expertise in the field of textiles and sewing.

We work closely with these factories, selected for their commitment to responsible and environmentally friendly production practices. These factories adhere to rigorous standards for working conditions, providing safe and fair environments for their employees. In addition, they favor manufacturing methods that minimize environmental impact, such as the use of recycled fabrics and non-polluting dyes.

By choosing our products, you are not only supporting an eco-responsible brand, but you are also helping to preserve traditional European know-how. Portugal, with its rich history in the textile industry, plays a crucial role in our approach to producing in a more sustainable and ethical way. In this way, you are actively participating in supporting the local economy and promoting crafts that respect the environment and people.
