For us, sustainability isn't about fleeting trends, but about taking responsibility – for our bodies and for the world we are a part of.

Materials and Production

At Avera Studio, thoughtfulness is an inherent part of what we create. All our styles are made from carefully selected, approved materials and comply with applicable EU requirements for product safety. Our materials are certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which means they are tested for harmful substances and are gentle on the skin.

We use, among other things, ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon material made from recycled plastic waste from oceans and landfills worldwide – including fishing nets, textile scraps, and industrial plastic. Through an advanced regeneration process, the nylon is purified and restored to its original quality. The result is a technical, durable, and comfortable material with a long lifespan. Our ECONYL® yarn comes from Italy and is recognized as a high-quality techno-fiber, particularly suitable for swimwear.

In addition to contributing to less waste, ECONYL® also has a lower climate impact. Compared to traditional nylon made from oil, the material can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%.

Our swimwear is produced in Portugal in close cooperation with experienced manufacturers, where proper working conditions, transparency, and respect for craftsmanship are a given. We believe in fewer, better styles – made to last, both in quality and expression.

Since our swimwear fabrics are primarily based on recycled plastic, microfibers may be released during washing. To minimize this impact, we recommend washing swimwear in a wash bag that collects microfibers so they do not end up in the aquatic environment. Always follow the washing and care instructions in the product – this extends its lifespan and reduces environmental impact.

The ECONYL® fiber itself is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. However, in swimwear, the fiber is combined with elastane to ensure the necessary stretch and comfort. Our fabric consists of 78% ECONYL® and 22% elastane, which means that the material cannot yet be fully recycled. Together with our manufacturers, we are continuously working towards more circular solutions where materials can eventually become part of new cycles.

For you, this means quality, well-thought-out function, and swimwear you can wear close to your body – whether you have special needs or simply prioritize high comfort and responsibly produced materials.
