WE BELIEVE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SHOULD NOT BE A LUXURY, BUT AN AFFORDABLE OPTION FOR EVERYONE.
When we set out to design SEPTEMBER, it was always a given we would be sustainable and environmentally driven in all our business decisions. From materials, trims, factory, retailers and even brand location - we put sustainability at the core of our brand.
Our swimsuits are sustainable and manufactured at a female owned factory in Bali. We believe in small run production over mass production.
Quality over quantity.
Let’s take you on a journey through our sustainability process: from the sourcing of fabric to the end product, delivered straight to your door.
Sourcing of fabric
Our signature luxury fabric is sourced from Italy. It is recycled and made from 78% ECONYL® regenerated nylon and 22% elastane, which comes from pre and post industrial waste such as ghost fishing nets and carpet fluff. The yarns can be infinitely recycled, supporting our vision of a circular fashion industry.
For those who like statistics
10,000 tons of ECONYL® eliminate 12,000 pounds of waste and 42,000 tons of CO2 emissions. Our sustainable Italian fabric is a unique mix of muscle compression, sculpting and comfort.
Thanks to its innovative construction, it is twice as resistant to chlorine, suntan creams and oils than conventional recycled fabric. It’s a UV protection of 50.
No fossil fuel base materials are used for the production of ECONYL®.
Production & design
We aim to keep our relationships very tight-knit. We work directly with our factory based in Bali. We are proud that the factory is owned and run by a full female team. Each operative takes their time to consciously make and sew each SEPTEMBER suit by hand.
We’re constantly trying to find the balance between the need to produce because we’re a business and producing just what is needed.
The regenerated nylon we use contains a higher durability than mainstream swimwear fabric.
Durability = Sustainability.
Reducing your need to buy multiple swimsuits in a season.
Many brands use thin and cheap lining material on their swimsuits. We don’t. We line all our swimsuits and bikinis with the same strong regenerated Italian nylon as the outer fabric. This gives the suit an enhanced shape retention that sculpts the silhouette, smooths and supports you in all the right areas and leaves you feeling confident and comfortable in and out of the water.

So, what else is sustainable?
Our fabric, our packaging and our mind-set, along with some key details.
Our swing tags are made from 100% recycled card paper. The hygiene liners are made from material that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
Your swimsuit gets packaged with care in a reusable organic cotton drawstring bag and arrives in a 100% compostable bag made from sustainably-sourced plants. Allowing it to break down easily in your compost or green waste.
