As Blackbough continues to grow, it’s important that we make sure our actions represent our values. We believe that Blackbough’s opportunity for impact is two-fold:sustainability and advocacy.
We are commited to
Sustainability
Our business practices revolve around creating a better environment—from using recycled fabrics for our swim, ensuring great working conditions for our team, investing in factories that abide by ethical labor practices, and picking the greener option each chance we get.
Advocacies
The Blackbough Team is full of passionate individuals who champion different causes. We want to contribute wherever we can—whether it’s donating to initiatives or amplifying voices through our platform.
YOUR BIKINI’S JOURNEY
Every bikini goes through a lengthy, meticulous journey.
Designed to Last
Our customers
are the heart of our brand. We take the time to listen to what they want
through the reviews and comments we receive. From there, we begin
designing and creating prototypes. We go through multiple tests and
revisions so the pieces we make look good, fit different body types, and
last as long as possible. With the level of quality we ensure, our
suits are made to be reworn time and time again instead of one-time
use.
Not only do we
make it a point to produce only the quantities that we need, roughly 80%
of all our swimwear is made using recycled fabrics.
Direct to Fabric Printing
Our
custom designs printed directly onto the fabric instead of using dyes.
This means there is a lot less water used and wasted in the process. We
also control the amount of fabric produced because we only print what is
needed, and never in excess.
Calculated Quantities
Re-orders
are only done once a style or print has completely sold out to minimize
the risk of over-supplying stock. We work closely with several
long-term manufacturing partners to ensure our swimsuits are produced in
conditions that adhere to our standards.
Recycling & Upcycling
In the event we
do have extra fabric, we breathe new life into them. During production,
scrap fabrics are used in our sampling process for new designs instead
of wasting new bolts of fabric. Off-cuts are turned into cute pieces
such as scrunchies and headbands, further reducing our fabric waste.
