Sustainability
Growing
From ethically sourced fabrics, to recyclable packing, we think about every choice along way. We're not perfect, but we are striving to be! Therefore, we're always looking for ways to improve our practices. If you would like to share your ideas, or think your involvement would improve our practices, please get in touch!
Regenerated Nylon
Our Swimwear is proudly made in New Zealand, using ECONYL® regenerated nylon. Aquafil (who create ECONYL®), takes pre and post-consumer waste (such as fishing nets, plastic components, and old carpets) and regenerates them into ECONYL® yarn. This product can then be "recycled infinitely without losing quality", closing the loop. Check out their amazing work below.
Made in New Zealand
We are proud to support local! Our custom small batch clothing is designed, constructed, and screen printed right here in New Zealand! Check out the 'NZ Made' and 'Our Journey' pages to discover what we are achieving at Quinn, and more info on our fantastic local suppliers.
Organic Cotton
Not only does Organic Cotton feel amazing, supporting a sustainable future is a key value at Quinn. We must all play our part, which is why we only source Certified Organic Cotton. All of our cotton is custom milled and dyed.
Organic Elastic
This was a turning point for us.... how can a small amount of material cost so much? With many other options available, we decided Organic Elastic was worth it. Please have a read to find out more.
Thoughtful Packaging
Packaging can often be overlooked, which is why we gave it more thought. All of our materials can be recycled or composted and, where possible, given a second life. Have a read about the choices we have made.
Dyes & Inks
Our Organic Cotton fabrics are custom dyed in India, using certified Organic and sustainable practices. We screen print here in NZ with environmentally friendly OEKO-TEX®, certified 100% water-based ink.
