Sustainability as Our Standard: The Craft Behind Our UK-Manufactured Women's Swimwear
At Always Sunshine Somewhere, our journey into the world of swimwear is driven by a vision far removed from the ephemeral trends of fast fashion. We're sculpting a niche where sustainability isn't just a label but the very fabric of our brand's identity. Why do we insist on manufacturing in the UK, you ask? It's simple: it affords us the unparalleled ability to weave quality, ethical practices, and environmental stewardship into each piece of swimwear we design.
The Catalyst for Our Creation
Disheartened by the disposable nature of fast fashion and the premium often demanded for 'ethical' alternatives, we dared to dream differently. We've observed a trend where sustainability seemed synonymous with muted tones and understated designs. At Always Sunshine Somewhere, we're not ones to shy away from vibrancy. Our ethos? "Sustainability as standard." This philosophy means embracing ethical and sustainable methods without passing on a 'green premium' to our cherished customers.
Setting the Standard in Swimwear Manufacturing
What does this standard entail? It encompasses:
- A commitment to a safe, respectful workplace.
- Ensuring a living wage for all team members.
- Prioritising recycled and sustainable fabrics.
- Guaranteeing longevity in our swimwear through quality craftsmanship.
- Relying on a highly skilled team to ensure impeccable fit and finish.
Our UK-based production hub is a testament to our commitment. With a seasoned team boasting over a century of collective experience in the fashion industry, we stand at the vanguard of sustainable swimwear. This depth of expertise not only ensures each piece is a statement of style but also an emblem of ethical choice.
The Pillars of Our Sustainability
