As a scuba diving enthusiast trained with PADI, my connection to the ocean runs deep. It's where I find solace, adventure, and inspiration. But, sadly, beneath the surface lies a harsh reality: our oceans are drowning in trash. Witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of pollution on coral reefs and marine life ignited a passion within me to make a change.
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us—it's a core value ingrained in every aspect of our men's luxury sustainable swimwear brand, Kolibri. From the outset, we knew that creating a line that was both luxurious and environmentally responsible was non-negotiable. Here's why.
First and foremost, our commitment to sustainability stems from a profound respect for the ocean and its creatures. Studies have shown that a staggering 99% of oceanic debris remains unaccounted for, possibly having been consumed by fish, and is wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems. Plastic pollution, in particular, poses a significant threat to marine life, from entanglement to ingestion. Witnessing this devastation firsthand during my dives was a wake-up call that propelled me towards action.
That's why our fabrics are crafted from 99% recycled plastic bottles sourced primarily from our oceans. By transforming waste into wearable art, we're not only reducing our environmental footprint but also actively contributing to ocean conservation efforts. Through innovative recycling techniques, we're proud to offer luxurious swimwear that not only looks good with an artistic appeal, but does good for the planet.
With our mission in focus we are thrilled to announce our partnership with PADI AWARE, a leading force in ocean advocacy and education. For every sale we make, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to support PADI's mission of marine conservation and awareness. Together, we're diving deeper to protect our oceans for generations to come and also offering up a luxury product that men can be proud to wear.
As a women-owned and family-owned business, sustainability isn't just a business strategy—it's a legacy we're building for our children and grandchildren. We believe that luxury shouldn't come at the expense of the environment. That's why all our garments are crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring durability, style, and sustainability go hand in hand.
In addition to being eco-friendly, our swimwear is also designed with your comfort and protection in mind. Each piece is equipped with SPF protectant and quick-dry technology, allowing you to enjoy the sun safely and stylishly.
For us, sustainability isn't just a choice—it's our responsibility. By prioritizing eco-conscious practices in everything we do, we're not only creating luxurious swimwear but also shaping a brighter, cleaner future for our planet. We hope you will join us as we dive into sustainability, one swimsuit at a time.
Together, let's make waves for a better world!

Alex
