Most swimwear is built for a single summer. It stretches, fades, and ends up forgotten in a drawer. But investing in sustainable swimwear that lasts means buying fewer, better pieces that support you through every wave, every adventure, and every sun-soaked season.
At SEPTEMBER, timeless design and durable fabrics are at the heart of what we do — and our community has proven it.

We hear it every week: messages from our community still living in their suits years later.
“Still my favorite suit 3+ years later.”
“I’ve worn this through countless surf trips and it still feels like new.”
“Quality that feels the same as the day I bought it.”
These are more than compliments. They’re proof that long-lasting surf swimwear is possible when pieces are designed with care and intention.

A: Many of our customers are still surfing in suits they purchased 3+ years ago. Unlike fast-fashion bikinis that fade or fall apart after a season, SEPTEMBER suits are crafted from recycled Italian ECONYL® and double-lined to hold their shape. With minimal seams and surf-tested fits, they stay strong for years — even with daily ocean use.
It comes down to three things:
Design that works → minimal seams, timeless silhouettes, no trend-driven cuts.
Premium materials → recycled Italian ECONYL®, double-lined with the same high-quality fabric for strength, hold, and comfort.
Ocean-tested → every design is worn in real surf before it makes it into the collection.
Think about the math:
A $50 fast-fashion suit might last one season. Then it’s stretched, see-through, or tossed.
A SEPTEMBER suit can stay with you for years of surf, travel, and summer days.
The cost per wear makes ethical swimwear not only sustainable but smarter in the long run.

Longevity isn’t only about saving money. Choosing timeless, sustainable swimwear reduces waste, avoids overconsumption, and makes your wardrobe more intentional.
It’s sustainability without the guilt — and self-care in its truest form: choosing pieces that support your lifestyle rather than work against it.
Your swimsuit shouldn’t be disposable. It should be a trusted companion through surf sessions, saltwater adventures, and endless summers.
That’s our promise: sustainable surf swimwear, built to last.

What I love is how well the suit fits. It’s like a second skin. No bunching. The seams don’t fold over. The material is sturdy and not flimsy.
I love the print and I like how I feel secured wearing it. I will not showing anything when I wipe out :)
I really love the way this print looks with the retro cut. It's super cute for just lounging and hanging out or being more active. The fabric is super sturdy and the coverage is great for whatever activity you decide to part take in. It's my favorite suit of the season :)
I saw someone with this suit and had to order it for myself. I really like the fabric and fit. I’m a 60+ surfer and this suit gives me the support and coverage I need in a suit.
I love this suit. It has the coverage I was looking for, fits so well and the quality is top notch. I bought it for a scuba diving trip and wore it all day. I got a small top and large bottom. Would recommend!
This suit literally feels so good. The fabric is so beautiful and feel so hugged and supported. Doesn't move an inch while surfing!! I also just feel so girly being able to surf in a two piece. I normally have to surf in a one piece.. but this magic suit makes it possible to tan my tummy during my surf session. Just came home from a surf trip and it was almost like any other suit I brought didn't exist because I wore this one everyday.
I have this in basically every color. It's my ride or die bottom for coverage, protection and comfort.
My chest is always the first thing to burn on my body. I've been so good about protecting my face and not as vigilant about my chest and neck-- until now. This top is so cute and also very functional. I put it on sometimes mid-beach day when I feel the sun is cooking me most. I also like how it has the thumb hooks so you can protect your hands, too. I have this in multiple colors. I really like the fabric of the "Olive Eco Rib" color most. It's the most durable. I've taken it to Mexico in pretty solid surf and it stays put. It's nice to throw in your surf bag for travel incase of jellyfish or sea-lice since it will protect your arms, neck and hands while paddling.
This suit has quickly become a favorite. The coverage is perfect--secure, flattering and comfortable. The material is nice and thick too, so no worries about it being see-through. Comfortable, durable, and stylish for long surf sessions. I had been looking for a white surf suit for a while, since it is such a nice color to film and photograph, but I was concerned I wouldn't find one that offered the right coverage. This suit is up top the task!
I love how it feels and wear. The only thing is it runs small even if it by the size chart in USA measurements. I always wear a size a Medium but when ordering Medium here it runs a bit small so will need to order the next size up
Stumbled across this suit at the Xanadu surf shop on Lombok and loved the green bean print! But ahh the fit is amazing. Truly one of the first surf bikinis that I feel confident wont fly off if I get hit by a big wave. I bought the same style in red too! So cute and *actually functional!
Ahh I'm obsessed. Truly one of the first surf bikinis that I can feel confident wont fly off! I have the matching top and bottom and cannot stop wearing them. I bought the same style in red too! So cute and functional!
The made of this bottom is just perfect…fabric felt soft and smooth while hugging the body perfectly. It’s a modest coverage but still had me feeling free and not restricted in the hips area while surfing! Love love love this:)
The cutting of the top is flattering and felt so secured during my surf session. The print is just perfect. 10/10
If you are extremely fair like me but spend hours in the sun this is your top for no more burns. Covering neck,chest and hands has been a game changer for me in the water. I even wear this top mountain biking! Highly recommend if you want a cute and flattering top but want to take care of your skin.
