Our Story
Founded in 2022, Lacadivas Swimwear aims to create elegant, high-quality, eco-friendly, and responsive swimwear. We intend to demonstrate that sustainability does not compromise the elegance of our products, and we want you to truly feel like a DIVA.
Lacadivas Swimwear cares about the planet! We create versatile products with high-quality materials so they can be worn many times and in various ways. All our products are made with love and ethics in Portugal at a small atelier, with no waste, using more eco-friendly materials. Finding sustainable solutions for everything we do is our passion.
The Fabric
- Our main material is produced with ECONYL® regenerated nylon. By using ECONYL® regenerated nylon, we help transform waste into incredible fashion products.
- The ECONYL® fiber is created from discarded nylon waste collected worldwide, such as fishing nets, carpets, and industrial plastics. The process of this fiber consists of four phases: rescue, regeneration, remaking, and reinvention.
- Our fabric is rated as a high-quality, durable, and sustainable techno-fiber. It has properties that protect against UV rays and is resistant to ultra-chlorine, sunscreens, and oils.
The packaging
- We always strive to use recycled materials. Our packaging is made from recycled cardboard and can be used to store your product. All our packaging elements are designed to be practical and eco-friendly.
- We will continue to research and improve all our packaging, keeping our minds focused on finding the best solutions for them.
The Products
- The entire creation process of Lacadivas Swimwear products is designed to be planet-friendly! For the production of the Flores de Sol collection, approximately 15.5 kg of waste (such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpets, and industrial plastics) were used.
- We prioritize quality over quantity; therefore, we do not work with stock and only produce what you purchase.
- Our products are exclusive and limited, making them even more special.
- We focus on presenting modern and contemporary designs, always considering your comfort.
- We understand that every body is unique and different, so at Lacadivas, you can buy pieces in different sizes.
The Tags
Did you know that you can plant your tags instead of throwing them away? That’s right, our tags turn into flowers! To plant them, just follow these simple steps:
- Cut and wet the seed paper.
- Plant it in a pot and cover it with a thin layer of soil.
- Water it daily, and after 20 days it will start to germinate.
- Take care of it with lots of love, water, and good sunlight exposure.
We Are Proud!
We are proud to support and work with organizations and companies like HEALTHY SEAS and AQUAFIL (producer of ECONYL® regenerated nylon). Their mission is to save the oceans and our planet, while providing recycled materials.
Since our founding in 2013, Healthy Seas has collected 905 tons of waste nets and other marine litter and ensured
they become a valuable resource instead of ending up in a landfill or in the natural environment.
You have the power to save marine life.
