Sustainability
Our Approach to Sustainability
Our products are produced in Portugal with European sourced fabrics and accessories to limit emissions. Our chain of production includes France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, assuring traceability of our collections. Each of our pieces speaks to the latest problem-solving innovations in materials science. Using the latest innovations, from the world’s leading research institutions, labs and scientists our fabrics, labels, embroideries, zippers, buttons and hangtags are derived from recycled and up-cycled materials.
Sequeal Initiative
Partners in Change
We're proud to partner with the SEAQUAL Initiative to incorporating their recycled marine-plastic fibers into select swimwear rashguards and accessories. SEAQUAL yarn begins with marine litter collected from oceans, rivers, and estuaries that would otherwise harm marine ecosystems. That litter is cleaned and transformed into upcycled marine plastic and then spun into high-quality yarn with full traceability from collection to finished fiber. By using these fibers made from recycled plastic bottles and discarded fishing nets, we help reduce ocean plastic pollution while creating durable, performance-ready fabrics for swimwear that are built to last and protect our shared environment.
Learn MoreMade with Purpose
At Mon Coeur we are dedicated to care for our workers and we only work with suppliers, manufacturing companies and countries where employees are treated with care, respect and professionalism – where there is a minimum wage, where no child is allowed to work or allowed nearby a factory. Apparel workers are among the lowest paid in the world and we committed from the very beginning to solely work with factories in Italy, Spain, France and Portugal where we can be sure it is respected and reinforced. Being part of a sustainable movement is not only about the material, but how the clothes are made and by whom they are made.
