As sustainability becomes a driving force in fashion, Gilda and Bass is embracing eco-friendly materials that don't compromise on style or performance. Two standout fabrics leading this charge are Carvico and REPREVE®. These innovative materials are setting new standards in swimwear, offering consumers high-quality options that are as kind to the planet as they are to your body.
Carvico: A Legacy of Quality and Eco-Innovation
Carvico is synonymous with premium swimwear fabric. Known for its exceptional durability, stretch, and resistance to chlorine, saltwater, and UV rays, Carvico fabrics ensure your swimwear maintains its fit and color season after season. But it’s not just about performance—Carvico’s ECONYL® line is made from regenerated nylon, sourced from discarded materials like old fishing nets. This process reduces waste and offers a sustainable alternative without sacrificing the luxurious feel and look that Carvico is known for.
REPREVE®: Transforming Plastic Waste into Fashion
REPREVE® fibers are revolutionizing the swimwear industry by turning post-consumer plastic bottles into high-performance fabric. This innovative process helps reduce plastic pollution and conserves resources by cutting down on the need for new raw materials. Swimwear made with REPREVE® is not only durable and flexible but also soft and comfortable, ensuring that every piece feels great to wear while making a positive environmental impact.
