Built to Last: Why We Use Carvico in Our Timeless Collection

When we set out to build the Timeless Collection, we weren’t designing a one-time capsule. We were beginning something that would grow with us: an ever-evolving line of refined essentials designed to last a lifetime. It’s a collection we’ll continue to build on, season after season, always guided by the same values: simplicity, quality, and intention.


To bring this vision to life, choosing the right fabric was everything.


Why Carvico

We use Carvico, an Italian-made performance fabric known for its luxurious feel, unmatched durability, and environmental integrity. For a collection designed to evolve over time, the materials had to meet a high standard. Carvico delivers that and more.


Crafted in Italy, Carvico is a leader in high-performance, eco-conscious textiles. It’s soft but strong, lightweight yet supportive, and holds up beautifully wear after wear. It’s the kind of fabric that becomes a second skin, one you trust, reach for, and feel good in.


Recycled. Resilient. Refined.

Carvico’s sustainability is one of the reasons we continue to choose it. The fabric we use is made with ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon yarn sourced from discarded materials like fishing nets, fabric scraps, and other pre- and post-consumer waste. This fabric not only diverts waste from oceans and landfills but also transforms it into something beautiful and functional.


Key Features:

  • Chlorine Resistant: Built to withstand frequent pool use without compromising quality.
  • Saltwater Resistant: Perfect for beach days, as it endures exposure to saltwater without damage.
  • UV Protection: Offers protection against harmful UV rays, keeping you safe under the sun.
  • Shape Retention: The fabric retains its form and elasticity, ensuring your swimwear stays in shape.
  • Color Retention: Resistant to fading, keeping vibrant colours bright and fresh over time.
  • Durability: Designed for longevity, it stands up to regular use without losing its strength or appearance.



The Foundation of Our Forever Pieces

The Timeless Collection isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about creating lasting pieces that feel relevant and wearable year after year. Whether it’s a one-piece you swim in every summer or a top that layers effortlessly into your travel wardrobe, each style is made with longevity in mind.


Carvico makes this possible. It allows us to design pieces that are both minimal and high-performing, flattering yet functional. Each swim piece is something you can move in, feel confident in, and keep coming back to.


Timeless Is Just the Beginning

This collection will continue to grow. We’ll introduce new silhouettes, thoughtful refinements, and timeless colorways, always with the same commitment to sustainability, intentional design, and elevated comfort. The foundation will always be the same: feel-good pieces that stand the test of time.


Because when you invest in your essentials, when you choose quality, sustainability, and designs that evolve with you, you’re building something deeper than a swim drawer. You’re building a lifestyle that reflects your values.


And we’re honoured to grow with you.
