with Wolven Threads
If you are someone who is continuously striving to lessen waste, you should support the brands that are seriously cleaning up this planet. Wolven Threads is taking discarded plastic bottles and making some of the most fantastic swimwear I've ever seen. For this LA-based brand, creating less waste and promoting a more conscious lifestyle {inside & out} is the heart of their business. Their patterns are inspired by nature's great use of geometry, with colors pulled from Indian art & yoga roots. In-house designers Kiran Jade & Will Ryan take these elements to produce some of the most mesmerizing patterns. Don't you remember getting lost in a kaleidoscope as a child?
So.. about those plastic bottles..
With over 6.4 million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans every year, we need to find a solution to this problem. In a perfect world, it is not to use plastic AT ALL anymore. However, this is only partially realistic at this time, AND we still have most of the plastic made just floating around. So why not do something with it so bottles don't outnumber the fish in the sea?! Wolven Threads has taken it upon themselves to find a solution - in an enjoyable, fashionable way, am I right?!. Their entire swimwear collection {including their Activewear line}, is made from OEKO-TEX-certified Recycled P.E.T fabric (RPET). This certification shows the material does not contain any harmful or toxic chemicals. Plus, RPET is excellent for physical activity with its quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and antibacterial properties.
Besides the stunning prints and remarkable material, Wolven Threads gives back. For every purchase made, 5% is donated to bring yoga to at-risk youth. Practicing yoga can help build confidence, lessen anxiety, and become in tune with your mind & body.
I'm wearing the vibrant Red Flower One Piece. The print and cut make this piece extremely flattering - I am OBSESSED with it. If you love this print as much as I am, you can find it on leggings & yoga tops, too! &&& What is so cool about each one of their designs? You can wear them for more than one purpose. Their swimsuits look great with high-waist jeans, shorts, and skirts. Woo-hoo for versatility!
