Sailing with Elegance and Consciousness: The 100% Recycled Apnée Parka
When the raindrops start dancing on the city's cobblestones, it's essential to equip yourself with clothing that not only protects you from the elements, but also resonates with your values and style. This is the moment when a particular item of clothing takes on its full importance: the parka. At Apnée Swimwear, we have revisited this timeless classic to create a piece that not only keeps you dry but does so with conscience and elegance : our 100% recycled parka.
A Journey Through the History of the Parka
The parka, although it has become a staple of our contemporary wardrobe, has humbly pragmatic origins. Its name, derived from the Inuit word "kamleika", was carried by early polar navigators and explorers, providing vital protection against the unforgiving elements of the Arctic. The military, notably the US Air Force during the Korean War, also adopted the parka for its robustness and functionality in hostile environments. However, it was in the 1960s that the parka made the leap from battlefields and polar expeditions to the fashion streets, becoming a symbol of casual, carefree style.
The Apnée Commitment: More than a Clothing, a Movement
The Apnée parka is not just a piece of clothing; it is the tangible reflection of our commitment to more conscious and sustainable fashion. Made in Portugal from Seaqual polyester fabric, each parka is the result of 25 plastic bottles recovered from the Mediterranean Sea, transformed into a garment that not only protects you but also protects our planet. It's a style statement that goes beyond aesthetics, also speaking of a commitment to our environment and our oceans.
