Why We Only Use Recycled Fabrics for Our Swimwear

Style That Gives Back

At Items Less Mentioned, every decision we make is intentional — including the fabrics we choose for our swimwear. Our recycled string bikinis aren't just bold and beautiful, they're made from recycled materials that help reduce waste and protect the planet we all share.

What Are Recycled Fabrics?

Our swimwear is crafted from recycled fibers — primarily made from post-consumer plastic bottles and other reclaimed materials. These fibers are transformed into high-quality, durable fabric that performs just as well as traditional swimwear materials, if not better.

Why It Matters

The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to global pollution. By choosing recycled fabrics, we're taking a stand against fast fashion and choosing a path that's better for the earth. Every bikini you purchase is one less piece of plastic in the ocean.

• Reduces plastic waste in landfills and oceans
• Uses significantly less water than conventional fabric production
• Lowers carbon emissions compared to virgin synthetic fabrics
• Supports a circular economy

Bold Prints, Clean Conscience

We believe you shouldn't have to choose between looking amazing and doing good. Our all-over print recycled string bikinis are designed for women who want to stand out — vibrant, melanin-rich designs that celebrate who you are while honoring the world around you.
