Sustainability

Responsibility by design

Sustainability is central to Elou’s philosophy. Each piece is created with careful consideration of materials, production, and longevity, ensuring reduced environmental impact without compromising luxury, comfort, or performance.

Raw materials

Elou swimwear is made using 100% bio-based, marine-biodegradable nylon that meets ASTM D6691 standards. These advanced yarns are developed through circular economy technologies, incorporating recovered raw materials, renewable energy, and responsible water use.

Circular and responsible production

Elou prioritizes efficient resource use, reduced chemical inputs, and durable construction. By designing swimwear to last season after season, the brand supports mindful consumption and long-term wear.

Care and longevity

To extend the life of your Elou piece, rinse after each wear, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid tumble drying, wringing, rough surfaces, and high-chlorine environments. With proper care, Elou swimwear remains smooth, supportive, and vibrant over time.

Sustainability, without compromise

From innovative materials to considered care, sustainability is woven into every Elou garment-delivering luxury swimwear designed for longevity and respect for the ocean.
