Beautiful Things Shouldn't Cost the Ocean

Our Material Philosophy

We choose our materials with the same care and lack of compromise as everything else we do. Our swimwear is crafted using Amni Soul Eco®, a next-generation polyamide fiber developed by Solvay.

  • Unlike traditional synthetics, this fiber is engineered to biodegrade over time once it reaches a landfill environment.

  • It is specifically designed to reduce microplastic persistence in marine environments.

  • Our materials are certified by OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, ensuring they are safe for both you and the planet.

Made with Intention

Sustainability isn't just about the fabric; it’s about the people and the process.

Local Craftsmanship: Designed in Barcelona and crafted in small ateliers in Catalonia.

Ethical Production: Made fairly in Europe by skilled craftswomen who take pride in their work.

Built to Last: We design for longevity. The most sustainable swimsuit is the one you keep reaching for season after season.

  • We take responsibility for the end of our products' lives.

    • The Take-Back Program: When your Sofía Natalia piece has reached the end of its life, send it back to us.

    • Your Reward: In exchange for helping us close the loop, we will send you a gift certificate for your next purchase.

    • Contact Us: Simply email info@sofianatalia.com to receive instructions.

  • To extend the life of your garment and minimize microfibre release, we recommend a simple, gentle routine:

    • Rinse After Use: A quick ten-second rinse in cool water after the sea or pool keeps the fabric fresh and the elastane behaving well.

    • Wash Cold & Gentle: When a full wash is needed, use a gentle cycle with cold water.

    • Skip the Heat: Never tumble dry. Heat is the enemy of stretch fibers.

    • Dry in the Shade: Squeeze out excess water (don't wring) and dry flat in the shade to protect the colors and fibers.

  • We don’t claim to be "perfect" or "plastic-free". We believe in being specific:

    • Synthetic textiles can shed microfibers during washing.

    • We encourage using a wash bag or filter to reduce this impact.

    • Our goal is to provide a product that is coherent from beginning to end, no greenwashing, just better choices.

Higg Index is a tool used by fashion and textile companies to measure how environmentally and socially responsible a product or factory is.

It looks at things like water use, energy, chemicals, and working conditions to help brands understand and reduce their environmental impact across the supply chain.

Logo for Amni Soul Eco, featuring the name and a wavy line design.

Amni Soul Eco® refers to a special type of textile yarn designed to be more sustainable at the end of a garment’s life.

Products made with it keep the same performance and durability as regular fabrics, but if they end up in a landfill or the ocean, the material is designed to break down much faster than conventional synthetic fibers.

OEKO‑TEX® Standard 100 is a safety certification for textiles. It means a product has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human skin.

Every part of the product, from the fabric to threads and buttons, is checked, making it especially important for clothing, underwear, and baby products.
