Le Bain de Mer
/Le Bain de Mer emerges as a new Caribbean brand that shares human values and an eco-
philosophy through beautiful and sophisticated garments. As a Dominican swimwear brand
founded by the pillars of sustainability, we want to emphasize the preservation of our
beautiful land, corals, ecosystems, and beaches by providing a product that nature
welcomes.
The Le Bain de Mer line is exclusively produced in Brazil - a reference in swimwear - in
accordance to principles of sustainability and environmental preservation. The fabric is
made out of eco-friendly material that dissolves faster in nature than other materials. The
material is called Fluity CO 2 and is biodegradable and has protection against UV rays equal to
or greater than 50+. Our tags will be made out of seed paper that instead of creating waste,
it generates life. Le Bain de Mer has also been cooperating with Grupo Punta Cana´s
ecological reserve where we together will raise awareness of the deteriorating state of our
precious coral reef. We give customers an opportunity to re-connect with nature by
providing something they really desire and we hereby invite people to join us.
Let's plant this idea together!
Maria Conceicao's, creator of the brand, inspiration to launch Le Bain de Mer comes from living
and spending time on some of the Caribbean`s finest beaches. "I am in love with the sea" says
Maria. To her, the sea reflects both the strength and fragility of life itself and the connection we
have with nature and ultimately our planet. Her mission with this brand is to promote and protect
the beauty of the Caribbean Sea, to remind people to always come back to the Caribbean,
whether physically or in their hearts when wearing a Le Bain de Mer piece.
Pioneers in business, government and society have the over last years spent considerable
time and resources on how to make consumption more sustainable. One of the results of
this movement is the concept of sustainable development and in order to guarantee a
possible future for upcoming generations, we need to become more eco-efficient. The
fashion industry understands this and brands such as Le Bain de Mer are committed to
make a real difference. This is why They have decided to create eco-friendly clothes.
Le Bain de Mer is an avid supporter of sustainability and they believe they can spread the
message of sustainability in a fun and interesting medium - their beachwear pieces. All the
tags for their clothes are made from paper seed which means that you can plant it and grow
your own herbs - for this collection they are using basil and rocket salad. Nothing goes to
waste. In addition, the tags on their pieces are made out of recycled PET bottle plastic which
has been collected in Brazil. They use fabrics that biodegrades faster in nature and that has
UV protection. Their items are also plastic and adhesive free. Le Bain de Mer does not use plastic
bags for their customers, instead they use handmade artisanal bags, made in a small village in
Brazil out of canvas fabric. They urge all their consumers to use this canvas bag for grocery
shopping, moving etc. instead of using plastic bags, then They know they are making a difference!
Le Bain de Mer has designed a collection that stands for a better tomorrow, but they also wanted
to support something that is going on outside of their company.
Le Bain de Mer´s first collection is a homage towards the endangered coral reefs around the
globe. Here in the Caribbean, as in any place in the world, the reefs are disappearing and they are
disappearing very quickly. They have partnered with Jaques de Queker and together They
produced a short movie that will further raise awareness of what they are doing to our nature.
Look out for us on cinemas across the Caribbean and the popular social media channels!
