Our Impact

Here at VAAJ SWIM, our mission is to put our people and the planet first. We support the Fashion Revolution Movement, and use only high quality, premium cruelty free fabrics. Each piece is carefully and ethically handmade by our amazing and passionate team of seamstresses who have been in the swimwear industry for many years. We believe in sustainability above mass production therefor each collection is exclusive and limited. All fabrics that we use are independently tested and Certified by Oeko-Tex®, which means it is free from any toxic substances and certifies the safety of this textile for human use. Know that each piece has been responsibly sourced, and expertly handcrafted with sustainable materials.

Amni Soul Eco® 

All of our garments are made with Amni Soul Eco® fabric, which is the first biodegradable and recyclable polyamide 6.6 yarn in the world developed by Rhodia. The formulation of this yarn has been improved to allow garments to decompose rapidly after disposal in landfills. Unlike other fibres which take decades to be decomposed, Amni Soul Eco® takes only 5 years to be eliminated from the planet, reducing the environmental impact and ensuring a better world for future generations.

Amni Soul Eco® is not only biodegradable, recyclable and reusable, it also offers the many functional benefits of Rhodia's polyamide for consumers, such as its soft touch, extreme comfort, breathability, moisture management, easy-care, easy washing, UPF50+, Chlorine & saltwater resistant and it is easily dyed in different colours for the industry to produce any kind of garment for every segment.

Our fabric is unique as it is silky soft and buttery, durable and long lasting offering you a luxurious feel all year round. Offering you full support our fabrics feel effortlessly beautiful against the skin and embraces every curve. Superior to standard swimwear material, we are very proud to be selling the highest quality polyamide, which is breathable, adaptable and also kind to Mother Earth.

 

Important to know

Garments made with Amni Soul Eco® suffer no changes when stored, having a long product shelf life similar to conventional polyamides. It is important to know that your swimsuit will not decompose after standard use, its lifecycle is the same as traditional polyamide yarns. The biodegradation process only happens under specific landfilling conditions where there is no oxygen and where bacteria specializing in Anaerobic (oxygen free environment) decomposition can be found. So unless you’re trash diving in landfills, you’re good to go! 

Eco-conscious packaging

We are not only conscious about the textiles we use but we also care just as much about the packaging we send each garment in. Each year, over 8 million tons of single use plastic is dumped into our oceans. Therefor this is why we choose to package and send our garments in the plastic free materials shown below:

- Eco-friendly, sustainable cotton bag. Perfect for reusing to store your swimwear, makeup, or fresh produce from the markets. No plastics are used to reduce the impact on the environment.
- Our post satchels are 100% compostable and are made from sustainably sourced plant based material.
- Our Shipping labels are eco-friendly and can be composted at home with your mail satchel, no need to remove them.
- We use plastic free hygienic liners are that are also compostable. The sticker is a coated transparent high gloss film produced from wood pulp and the backing is white glassine paper (100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable)
- The forestry content of our thank you cards have been sourced from an FSC certified supplier, supporting healthy forests and protecting wildlife.

Feel free to place all the packaging in your council compost bin for industrial composting or landfill bin! We have consciously made every effort to reduce unnecessary package wastage and will continue to improve.
