ALIGN SWIM<br />
Perfect Minimalist Swimwear<br />
Singapore’s first sustainable swimwear label is all<br />
the buzz when it first launched last year as the<br />
figure-accentuating pieces are handcrafted to fit<br />
every curve in their timeless cuts. Vera, founder<br />
of Align Swim, find it a mission to introduce<br />
good quality and nature-friendly swimwear at a<br />
reasonable value. Made from an Italian fabric called<br />
econyl, Align swimwear material offers excellent<br />
UV protection and is more chlorine resistant. If you<br />
don’t know, econyl is made from recycled materials<br />
from landfills and the ocean. Down to their ecofriendly<br />
packaging pouch, Align Swim goes through<br />
a long process in producing the perfect swimwear<br />
that aligns to our bodies and the environment.<br />

SMATERIA<br />
Universal Lifestyle Trend<br />
It all began when Jennifer Morellato and Elisa<br />
Lion joined hands in transforming their vision<br />
for a sustainable business into reality. Based in<br />
Cambodia, Smateria has an eye in turning any<br />
material into a chic accessory. Mostly using<br />
waste products such as fishing nets, plastic bags<br />
and recycled leather, Smateria employs locals,<br />
-primarily women-as staff with an additional<br />
free childcare center on site as a support to<br />
working mothers. Both in-store and online, this<br />
ethical brand has something for everyone from<br />
kids’ lunch bag, school bag, men’s backpack and<br />
of course, an assorted fashionable bags for the<br />
ladies. Look out, they even have a Monopoly set<br />
made with waste materials!<br />
