our sustainable approach

Better materials

Since we began, we’ve chosen to source and use ECONYL regenerated nylon.  ECONYL is a product created from otherwise discarded nylon, that can be recycled, recreated and remoulded, time and again.

Cleonie is distinguished for its eco-crinkle fabric—a product that’s made in Australia, one size fits most, and available in solid and striped colour-ways.

The polyester in our garments is all crafted from recycled polymers, which means we’re reducing the amount of waste going into landfill.

Even our swing​ t​a​g​s are eco-friendly and made from 80% recycled stock. 

“Since the beginning, Cleonie Swim has been focussed on supplying sustainable, Australian made products, crafted with quality and care.”

Cleonie cares

In an industry that moves too fast, we believe in taking it SLOW. CLEONIE means Goddess of the Water and with that it is our mission to protect Mother Nature and her oceans by crafting swimwear from materials that would have otherwise ended in land fill.

That’s why every Cleonie order is made from scratch as it’s placed. It’s our way of reducing waste in materials, minimising excess stock, and ensuring your garment is made with love, time, and care.

It’s a commitment to completeness that only independent labels like ours, can offer.

And we won’t stop there.

We’re dedicated to constantly reviewing and establishing new sustainability goals and making necessary changes to our manufacturing processes to reduce our impact on people and planet.

We ask you, our community, to join us in taking action.

Here’s some of the ways we're shifting towards being the most sustainable brand we can be.

manufacturing

Through responsible manufacturing, we’re proud to say our entire swimwear line is made in Australia, and each garment produced to order.

We cut and create your swimsuit as and when your order comes in, allowing you to make changes to the garment if you wish. Want your briefs cheekier, or your top bigger in the bust? We’ll try to accommodate the best we can.

We use digital printing to reduce wastage, and our coloured inks are water based—a big plus for the environment as there is no washing or special water drains required after printing.

We also say no to harsh chemicals across every part of our process.

Postage and packaging

Your swimwear will arrive in tissue that’s completely acid free and FSC Certified—a premium solution that looks good, and is better for the environment.

The parcels we use are all bio-based—made partly from plants, and totally biodegradable with no toxic residues (or micro-plastics). Even better, they’re also compostable at home.

Be better, do better and be conscious in Cleonie.
