Thinking about launching a sustainable swimwear brand?
Breaking into the swimwear industry as a new designer can be intimidating.
You face unique design challenges that some other fashion brands don’t have to consider:
- Understanding what makes swimwear fabric eco-friendly.
- Sourcing soft, durable, water-resistant, and UV-protective fabric.
- Finding an ethical manufacturer that specializes in swimwear.
New designers often find themselves stuck when they don’t know where to look, how to reach out to suppliers, or what questions they should ask. The good news? This is why Factory45 exists.
Factory45 provides sustainable swimwear designers with the contacts, education, and marketing training to launch their brands successfully from scratch.

Over the past 8+ years, I’ve worked with hundreds of sustainable fashion entrepreneurs to take them from idea to launch.
From swimwear to couture (and everything in between), new designers come with an idea and are equipped to launch a sustainable fashion brand in the most cost-efficient way possible.
