Wear Responsibly CLOSELY KNIT Going Green

Going Green

Change is like a wake—it changes everything that follows in its path.

As leaders in luxury swimwear, we know we have an important role to play in the transformation of the fashion industry at large.

As leaders in luxury swimwear, we know we have an important role to play in the transformation of the fashion industry at large.
We have a duty to set an example, whether it’s by acting to protect our oceans, standing up for the rights and wellbeing of our communities, or passing on our conservationist legacy to generations to come.

Since the beginning, sustainability has been a natural consequence of our commitment to quality design and production. Today it informs every aspect of our business, from the suppliers and materials we choose to work with, to the education and resources we provide our customers.

Think Green,
be circular

We are committed to circularity. We’re constantly finding new ways to breath new life into pre-loved garments, so that they don’t end up in landfills.

Seize every
opportunity

We see every step in our supply chain as an opportunity to do better. From the labels we use to the way we manage our waste and transport our products, every one of our design and business decisions is made with sustainability in mind.

What's on the outside counts

When it comes to packaging, less is definitely more. However, when it comes to the few materials we use, we are committed to finding re-usable, biodegradable, recycled, and recyclable alternatives to conventional packaging.

THINK GREEN, BE CIRCULAR

The luxury swimwear brand Vilebrequin began as one happy Tropezienne couple’s passion project. Our founder, Fred Prysquel, and his wife, Yvette, were never afraid to experiment, so long as they upheld their commitment to quality craftsmanship. Fun-loving, free-spirited, and bold as ever, Vilebrequin continues to expand the definition of quality to promote sustainability and the transmission of slow fashion values from one generation to the next. However, one thing is certain to remain the same: our signature combination of elegant design and whimsical prints.

SEIZE EVERY OPPORTUNITY

Every great adventure begins with a first step. We kicked-off our commitment to sustainability by focusing on the fabrics with which our garments are made.

Every great adventure begins with a first step. We kicked-off our commitment to sustainability by focusing on the fabrics with which our garments are made. Today, we are on the look to make all our operations greener. In 2019, we put new measures in place to reduce the carbon footprint of our supply chain. The journey ahead may be a long one, but we’re sailing in the right direction!

Our polybags are made out of eco-friendly biodegradable plastic. This material decomposes in 12-24 months as opposed to the 100-10,00 YEARS it takes for conventional plastic to break down. How’s that for a speedy recovery?
