Replacing your swim trunks every year feels wasteful, but most swimsuits aren’t made to stand up to the sun and fun of more than one or two summers. Luckily, Vilebrequin’s swimwear line is out to change that. The brand has rolled out a repair program for its line of recycled nylon swimsuits (made from things like fishing nets), so you’re not just keeping the material out of the oceans and landfills, but your swim trunks can actually last a lifetime — they offer an innovative repair program. In fact, the brand offers the first round of repairs for free on its embroidered Mistral line.
Scroll on to see unique options including a pair made from (surprisingly water-friendly) merino wool, a pair that folds down into its own back pocket, and swim trunks with a water-activated print design.
