DOING OUR BIT
CHANGING THE WAY YOU SEE SWIMWEAR
THE PROBLEM
5.25 trillion pieces of plastic are polluting our oceans.
Most Swimwear = Plastic (Polyester, Nylon, Spandex)
These never biodegrade, shedding tiny microplastics into the ocean.
Every wash releases harmful microplastics into our seas with irreversible effects that damage marine ecosystems
Cheap bikinis last one summer. Their damage lasts forever.
OUR SOLUTIONS
1. ECO-CONSCIOUS FABRICS
Every Zigi Swim piece starts with waste - never brand new materials.
Unlike traditional Nylon, which is made from virgin petroleum, ECONYL® reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 90% and helps clean up marine ecosystems at the same time.
It's soft, high-performing, and most importantly: a circular material, meaning it can be infinitely regenerated without sacrificing quality.
This reduces landfill waste, carbon emissions, and marine pollution.
2. DURABLE BY DESIGN
Fast fashion encourages disposal. We design for longevity.
Double-lined & rigorously tested to retain shape, colour and fit
High-stretch recovery to avoid sagging
Fade-resistant dyes to hold up in sun, salt & chlorine
Zigi bikinis are made to last, not to be tossed.
3. LESS SHEDDING
Microplastics are released every time you swim, wash or wear synthetic fabric. These particles never biodegrade and marine life often mistake them for food.
Our fabrics are:
- Tightly woven, reducing fibre shedding and microfibre loss
-Long-lasting, meaning fewer replacements and less environmental impact
MADE IN LONDON
We proudly work with a local London manufacturer to ensure we have reduced carbon emissions, ethical production, and know that fair wages and working standards are optimal.
Our hardware is manufactured in France and our amazing fabric is made in Italy.
Keeping our supply chain close to home helps minimise the environmental impact of transport, and supports local skilled craftsmanship over mass production.
At Zigi Swim we produce in small, carefully managed runs. This helps us reduce overproduction and avoid unnecessary waste. By working in limited batches, we not only lessen our environmental impact but also keep our collections feeling fresh and intentional. It means we make what’s truly wanted, not just more for the sake of it.
CHARITY
Every time you place an order, you help us grow our reef fund - and when it’s full, we adopt a new baby coral to be planted back into the ocean.
Our partners at Coral Gardeners are on a powerful mission to restore the reefs that so much of marine life depends on. Coral reefs (the rainforests of the sea), support 25% of all marine species, protect our coastlines, and provide food and livelihoods for millions of people around the world.
If we continue doing nothing, coral reefs could vanish completely by 2050.
Together, we’re helping bring colour, life, and balance back to our world, one coral (and one bikini) at a time.
We're Helping Restore Coral Reefs
Thanks to our amazing customers, we're helping to restore coral reefs with
Coral Gardeners.
With every order, we move one step closer to adopting and restoring more corals,
bringing life and colour back to one of the most vital ecosystems on Earth.
