Fabric

Vita by Carvico: an Italian made sustainable techno-fabric, made of a ECONYL® regenerated Nylon is our very proud fabric of choice. After researching for months and contacting over 10 manufacturers to get a hold of it, we got it! Unlike most cotton/polyester blends on the market, Vita By Carvico is made of ECONYL regenerated Nylon. 

While cotton is great for summer due to it’s lightweight nature, it is also quite stiff, and consequently easily worn out because of frequent washing and sunlight.  As a result, cotton is very popular for summer oriented designs (swimwear) but not particularly suitable for sportswear and longevity, a filed which requires different characteristics.

We knew I didn’t want to go the cheap route. We wanted swimwear that lasts. It was important to incorporate seasonality and therefore needed something strong, comfortable and durable. 

Not only does Vita not pill, it is formfitting, comfortable, breathable (great for warm climates,). In addition, thanks to the regenerated Nylon’s low hygroscopicity (moisture wicking properties), it feels warm and dry on the skin (great for the cold)
