Fabrics

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the materials we use to create our products. All of our ranges are made with 100% sustainable fabrics, which not only helps to reduce our carbon footprint but also minimizes the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans. For instance, our swimwear is made with a blend of 78% recycled PA and 22% elastane, while our mesh material is comprised of 90% recycled polyester and 10% elastane.

Our Production & Factory

At Litora our production process takes place entirely in the UK for season 2, starting and ending at our base in London. By manufacturing locally, we have reduced our carbon emissions and can regularly visit our factory. Our factories exclusively use recycled materials, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and sharing our ethos, and values in sustainability.

Designed with thought

Our commitment is to provide you with timeless, high-quality designs that will remain stylish for years to come.  Keeping in mind that everyone has unique preferences and body shapes, we design our swimwear to be mix and matched so that you can choose the styles you feel confident in. We create our swimwear with you in mind, so you can enjoy your pieces season after season.

Our commitment lies in maintaining low inventory levels. This approach enables us not to add to the waste problem which we consider essential.

Aside from our swimwear, we use biodegradable shipping materials and reusable bags for every order packaged.

Partnered with

CleanHub

We also have partnered with CleanHub. For each purchase made 1lb of plastic pollution will be disposed off preventing it ending up in our oceans. CleanHub  is an organisation on a mission to free our planet from plastic pollution. Why are we following that path? We are convinced that using plastic comes with responsibility. Through CleanHub we are able to act on that responsibility and invest in resilient waste management solutions across Asia.

 The entire process is tracked through CleanHub’s own Track & Trace technology, ensuring certified impact. 

Approximately 2 billion individuals residing in coastal areas around the globe lack access to proper waste disposal methods. This results in the open burning, dumping, or piling of garbage onto poorly managed landfills, which eventually finds its way into nature. Mismanaged plastic waste of this magnitude has a colossal impact on our climate. It is imperative that we address plastic pollution on land, instead of in the sea. We must establish waste management systems where they do not exist to prevent plastic waste from being burned, or ending up in landfills or oceans. The most environmentally sustainable methods must be employed to treat plastic waste in the area where it is collected.


CleanHub is the solution we need, and that's why we think Litora and CleanHub make a perfect partnership...
