Sandbar is inspired by the things the founder, Mel Reid is most passionate about - Family time, sustainability, and our environment. Their purpose is to make an impact, to protect the ocean, to preserve our world so that our children can grow up with an ocean abundant with sealife. As Mel grows up in the Canary Islands with clear waters and rugged coastlines and later becoming a keen diver, the ocean is SO important to her. It’s clearer than ever before how extreme ocean plastic has become and the urgency we need to have in protecting it however we can. At Sandbar, their swimwear is made using Repreve, which is an engineered yarn from North Carolina. Repreve a widely known recycled fibre and is made 100% from recycled plastic bottles. We love it because it also has a U Trust verification with a tracable FibrePrint so you know where it comes from.
