Sustainability
At MAIN Design, sustainability is not just a focus – it is our foundation. We create swimwear and beachwear for women and children who love fashion without compromising on the environment and ethics.
Our vision and mission
Our goal is to give women and children confidence and joy as we pave the way to a sustainable future - a future where every piece of swimwear contributes to healthier oceans and a vibrant cycle of renewal.
MAIN Design empowers women and children to feel fabulous and carefree with stylish, sustainable swimwear and beachwear. We are committed to using recycled materials and supporting ocean conservation. As we strive to incorporate circular practices, we aim to transform our products into long-lasting pieces that fund global ocean cleanups and promote sustainable lifestyles for all ages.
About us
MAIN Design is an independent label that was founded out of a passion for sustainable fashion. Led by two women with big dreams, we design for women who value sustainability, quality and style. Just like you, we care about the environment - that's why we choose all materials carefully and thoughtfully. Our promise: high-quality, sustainable fashion that is made with love and fairness.
From Plastic Waste to Bikini: The Cycle of Sustainability
Fair and ethical production
At MAIN Design we believe that fast fashion is bad for the environment, which is why we focus on small batch production and work with small factories run by local families. Our products are handmade in Bali under fair working conditions, and we adhere to the standards of the ETI Base Code to ensure that all of our employees are treated respectfully and fairly.
Our designs are created in Switzerland, where we place great value on sustainability, quality and style. This means:
Every seam, every cut and every design is created under conditions that respect people and the environment.
Packaging
We also try to keep the ecological footprint as small as possible when shipping.
Envelopes: We ship our products in recycled cardboard boxes or recycled paper envelopes.
Bags: We do not use plastic bags. Our bikinis are packed in OEKO-TEX® certified cotton bags.
Responsible packaging
Plastic-free packaging is a matter of course for us. We use environmentally friendly alternatives such as:
- Recycled and FSC-certified paper
- Biodegradable shipping bags
- Reusable cloth bags
Longevity and conscious consumption
Fast fashion is not our style. Our designs are timeless, versatile and made to last. We encourage our customers to treat their pieces with care to extend their lifespan.
Why sustainability is so important to us
We love the sea, nature and freedom - and are committed to ensuring that future generations can do the same. We do our part through responsible production, fair conditions and sustainable materials.
At MAIN Design, protecting the oceans is a core concern. We support ocean conservation by donating 1% of our online sales to Healthy Seas . This partnership helps clean and protect the oceans so future generations can enjoy the beauty and diversity of the seas. Together we can make a difference and preserve the oceans for generations to come.
