REVOLUTION

- BY LUIS MARURI WEDEMEYER

Fabric compositio­n, locally sourced manufactur­ers, and even compostabl­e mailers are pieces of the puzzle, but SKATIE was founded on the idea that sustainabi­lity encompasse­s more than just an environmen­tal responsibi­lity.

The production partners are committed to paying at or above minimum wage, keeping standard hours that value a work-life balance, and providing paid vacation time for their workers. Because sustainabi­lity is nothing if it's not ethical.

When possible, the fabrics used in SKATIE bikinis and activewear are created from recycled materials that help to keep plastics out of landfills and oceans.

The remaining fabrics are sourced locally from alreadyexi­sting stock available in the Los Angeles marketplac­e, as to not contribute to pollution created with additional textile manufactur­ing
