Our Fabrics

 

Our eco-conscious approach to fashion began at the inception of Sol of Eos and is embedded into the very fabric of our business.

From the beginning we have been committed to using sustainable fabrics that are crafted from upcycled materials that were once fishing nets, plastic bottles, and other post-consumer waste.

Annually, a staggering 8 million tons of waste, including 640,000 tons of discarded fishing nets, make their way into our ocean. As a slow fashion label, we are passionate about driving a paradigm shift to safeguard our oceans and protect the precious marine ecosystems within them.

Central to our mission is to exclusively use only certified eco-friendly fabrics and dyes. These choices are instrumental in curbing the alarming statistics of ocean waste and preserving sea life. We aim to raise awareness surrounding this issue and promote the importance of conscious consumption, championing slow and sustainable fashion choices whenever possible.
