At Kanawa, every bikini is more than a swimsuit.
It's a choice - to look good, feel confident, and leave the ocean better than you found it.
That's why every bikini piece is made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon, exclusively.
What is ECONYL®?
ECONYL® is a premium regenerated nylon created entirely from waste - fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring, and industrial plastic collected from all over the world. Developed by Aquafil, a global leader in sustainable fibres with over sixty years of certified practices.
Why It Matters
70,000 barrels of crude oil saved per 10,000 tonnes produced
∞ regenerated infinitely without losing quality
0 virgin raw materials needed — waste in, quality out
How It's Made
1
Rescue Fishing nets, carpets and fabric scraps are collected worldwide, sorted and cleaned.
2
Regenerate A chemical recycling process restores the nylon to brand-new quality - without the footprint of oil-based nylon.
3
Remake The regenerated nylon is spun into high-performance yarn, ready to become fabric.
4
Reimagine That yarn becomes your Kanawa bikini - and at end of life, it can be recollected and regenerated again.

Choosing ECONYL® isn't a marketing decision. It's the foundation of how Kanawa was built - ethically crafted in Portugal, designed to last, made to respect the ocean we love.
Every bikini you wear is one less piece of waste in the sea.
