WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS TO US...
IT'S NOT ONLY ABOUT DOING NO HARM, IT'S ABOUT DOING GOOD.
SLOW FASHION
We advocate buying better, not more.
Aligning with the slow fashion movement, we operate under a permanent/semi-permanent collection model. At the same time, we remain mindful of both the resources and the people involved in our creations.
All our pieces are made from high quality materials with timeless designs.
Now your piece can stand the test of time and be worn for many seasons to come.
MADE FROM WASTE
All our swim pieces are made with high quality Italian recycled fabrics, specifically made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon.
They're certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. It is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances.

ETHICALLY MADE
All our pieces are made ethically.
This means we carefully choose manufacturers based on their values and quality. We make choices to bring the best product to life without the people compromise.
FIRST STEPS TOWARDS A CIRCULAR MODEL
Our support does not end once the product reaches you.
We pride ourselves in our products quality. Our swimwear is intended to be used for seasons to come. Thus, if you wish to part with your pieces, we encourage you to hand them down to someone else to elongate their life.
However, if this is no longer feasible, send them back to us. Just send an email to recycle@borneo-paris.com
We are recycling our products with TerraCycle® via their Zero Waste Box™ solution.
This is our first action towards a circular economy.

CARBON EMISSIONS
It is well known that organisations contribute significantly to global carbon emissions.
As a small business, we take every step we can into minimising ours by actively reviewing our practices and processes. However, some carbon emissions are unavoidable.
As part of our accountability values, we pledge to offset all our estimated annual emissions in order to further minimise our impact.
GIVING BACK
We’re not only committed to not harming the planet but also doing some good for it.
We're 1% for the Planet® members.
Through 1% for the Planet®, we've pledged to donate 1% of our annual revenue to environmental organisations.
