US brand MeUndies launches new swimwear made with recycled materials

The new swim collection follows MeUndies recent launch of its movement-inspired Breathe collection, which marked the first time the company introduced a new fabric to its assortment. MeUndies members and fans are sure to make a splash this summer in the swim collection’s new colours and fun limited-edition prints, which can be mixed and matched across different styles, according to a press release by MeUndies.

For women, the MeUndies swim collection features one-piece bathing suits along with two different bikini styles, including a scoop or plunge bikini top and high-waist cheeky or swim bikini bottoms. The sustainable yet soft pieces are made from recycled nylon and discarded fishing nets. For men, the line includes both regular and long swim trunks, with each comfy and stretchy pair made from around eight recycled plastic bottles, MeUndies said.

True to the frequent drop cadence that MeUndies is known for, the swim collection has launched with limited edition prints that include Rock Lobster, Birds of Paradise, and Angles and in black, white, and terra cotta colours. The next launch will be on May 21, 2021, and will include three new prints inspired by sea creatures as well as in a solid Scuba Blue. The final drop is slated for mid-June and will feature all new nautical colours and prints, MeUndies said.

“MeUndies Swim has been a long requested category by our community, and so our team put in dedicated work to bring a sustainable, super comfortable swim collection to life,” said Jonathan Shokrian, founder and CEO of MeUndies. “Our new swim line is special because it stays true to our commitments to comfort, sustainability, and self-expression. Not only is it made from recycled plastic, but it comes in a variety of colors, vibrant prints, cuts, and sizes. Everything our customers love about our underwear and loungewear is now available with our swim collection.”

MeUndies designs ultra-soft basics, including underwear, socks, sleepwear, and loungewear, and now swimwear for both men and women. The brand is committed to celebrating comfort, creativity, and self-expression and is renowned for its ethos of inclusivity, body positivity, and transparency, its MeUndies Gives programme, and its frequent drops of colourful, trendy prints in its MicroModal line.
