Why We Chose ECONYL® and REPREVE® for Our Core Collection

At Jalayimiya Swim, our designs are more than just bold prints and flattering cuts—they’re an extension of our values. As a brand deeply rooted in Country, community, and culture, we believe in honouring the earth through conscious choices. That’s why the fabrics in our Core Collection are carefully selected with sustainability at the forefront.

ECONYL® Regenerated Nylon

ECONYL® is a next-generation fibre made from 100% regenerated nylon waste—things like fishing nets recovered from oceans, fabric scraps, carpet fluff, and industrial plastic. Instead of ending up in landfill or polluting our waters, this waste is rescued, cleaned, and transformed into a premium yarn that’s identical to virgin nylon, but far better for the planet.

Using ECONYL® means we’re actively participating in a closed-loop production system—reducing the need for new resources and giving discarded materials a second life. It’s strong, long-lasting, and perfect for swimwear that’s built to support, move with you, and stand the test of time.

REPREVE® Recycled Polyester

Another key player in our sustainability journey is REPREVE®, one of the most innovative eco-friendly fabric choices in the swimwear world. Made from 85% recycled plastic bottles and 15% spandex, REPREVE® gives new purpose to single-use waste.

The journey starts by collecting plastic bottles—often by hand—from coastlines and communities without formal recycling systems. These bottles are sorted, cleaned, and chopped into flakes, which are then processed into chips. The chips are melted, extruded, and spun into REPREVE® fibres, which are then woven into beautiful, durable swimwear fabrics.

Why It Matters

By incorporating ECONYL® and REPREVE® into our Core Collection, we’re choosing materials that align with our mission: celebrating culture and protecting Country. These fibres allow us to reduce our environmental impact while creating high-quality swimwear that looks and feels incredible on every body.

Because sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s our responsibility.

Why We No Longer Offer Pre-Orders

At Jalayimiya Swim, we’ve made the decision to move away from pre-orders in order to create a more seamless and stress-free experience for our community.

While pre-orders once helped us align with our sustainability values by reducing waste and supporting small-batch production, we’ve grown and adapted to better meet your needs.

Here’s why we’ve changed:

✨ Faster Fulfilment: You get your swimwear quicker, with no waiting period.

✨ Better Inventory Planning: We now produce in small, ready-to-ship batches based on customer demand and feedback.

✨ Improved Experience: No more wondering when your item will arrive – what you see is what’s available and ready to ship.

We're still committed to sustainability and supporting small businesses – we’re just doing it in a way that gives you more certainty and faster delivery.

Thank you for growing with us 💙
