FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
<strong>Manakai</strong> <strong>Swimwear</strong>: Maui's First<br />
High-Fashion, Low-Impact <strong>Swimwear</strong> Brand<br />
Exotic swimwear made from repurposed<br />
plastic and manufactured in the USA.<br />
MAUI, HAWAII - January 2017<br />
In a world of large brands focusing on fast<br />
fashion, high turnaround, and even higher profit<br />
margins, <strong>Manakai</strong> <strong>Swimwear</strong> is leaving mainstream<br />
industry practices and operating with sustainability<br />
and eco-consciousness. The re branding of the<br />
company was a unanimous decision between owners<br />
Kelley Chapman and Anna Lieding as they both<br />
have strong ties to their island home Maui and the<br />
environment. The duo manifested an exotic<br />
high-fashion, low-impact brand to change the norm<br />
of the swimwear industry. Their goal is to honor the<br />
ocean, create unique designs and empower women<br />
to embrace their true essence.<br />
<strong>Manakai</strong> <strong>Swimwear</strong>'s new Eco-Conscious<br />
Collection uses sustainable techno-fabric made with<br />
Econyl® - 100% regenerated polyamide fiber. The<br />
fiber is produced from pre- and post-consumer<br />
plastics. Waste reduction is realized by taking<br />
plastics such as carpet fluff straight from industrial<br />
facilities. Waste removal from the ocean occurs by<br />
collecting fishing line, cargo nets, and other single<br />
use plastics. These plastics are sorted, broken down,<br />
melted, stretched into filaments, and then eventually<br />
woven into blended Lycra. In order to assure there<br />
is absolutely no compromise in quality Kelley and<br />
Anna have selected a top-notch Italian-made<br />
repurposed Lycra. There is no physical difference<br />
when put up against virgin Lycra, but the science<br />
behind the fabric made of repurposed plastic proves<br />
that the differences go much farther than comparing<br />
the feel of the fabric against your skin.<br />
