Sustainability & Ethics

Our Approach

At Narah Soleigh, sustainability and ethical production are at the very heart of what we do. In a world where 150 billion new garments are produced every single year, often using harsh chemicals and putting underpaid garment workers at risk, the damage of the fashion industry is undeniable. 

We need to redefine the values of fashion - how it’s made, consumed, worn and treasured. As a slow fashion brand, we aim to source the most eco-friendly materials available and make each item in very limited numbers, so nothing is mass-produced. Fashion is how we express ourselves, so wearing an outfit that really & truly represents you is something we love to see.

We want the future generation, like us, to be able to dip their toes in oceans abundant with life and to know the pure joy of being immersed in nature. Narah Soleigh is our small contribution to a healthy & happy future on this planet.

Made in Portugal

Our garment & swimwear production takes place in small socially responsible factories in northern Portugal. Nearly 100% of the energy needed for the production of our swimwear is generated by the factories' own solar panels. Like us, they believe that together we can make a difference to leave a lighter footprint on this planet.

Our shared passion for sustainable and innovative solutions to fashion has made our working relationship even better than we could have imagined - memes may or may not be exchanged the daily.

Our main fabrics

TENCEL™ 

TENCEL™ fabrics are made from eucalyptus tree pulp. The production process uses less water and energy compared to other fabrics and the closed-loop production ensures no harmful waste is released into the environment. TENCEL™ is also biodegradable and has a soft, luxurious feel.

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is a sustainable alternative to traditional cotton as it is grown without the use of harmful pesticides, insecticides, or genetically modified seeds. This results in healthier soil, cleaner water, and safer working conditions for farmers. Furthermore, organic cotton production methods also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve biodiversity.

ECONYL®

ECONYL® regenerated nylon is a yarn that consists of waste like fabric scraps, industrial plastic & abandoned fishing nets from landfills and oceans all over the world. ECONYL® is a way to recycle and replace virgin nylon in our everyday products and clothes. It’s durable, comfy, supportive, twice as resistant to chlorine and suntan creams/oils as regular nylon.

Shipping & Packaging

We ship 100% carbon neutral. The CO2 emissions of each shipment are calculated and subsequently compensated by investing in environmentally friendly projects across the globe such as reforestation and biodiversity initiatives.

Little things make a difference. That's why we are working hard to minimise waste in all aspects at Narah Soleigh. Our packaging & hangtags are eco-friendly, plastic-free and made from recycled cardboard. The packaging is also super light to reduce the environmental impact on shipping.
