Behind Sunsitiva

In May 2024, I launched Sunsitiva with a mission to revolutionize the swimwear market - shifting the focus from the harmful tanning culture to embracing a sun-safe trend.
Together, we can redefine what it means to enjoy the sun safely and confidently. Come join me in this revolution and let’s make sun protection the new standard!

What makes Sunsitiva swimwear sun-protective?
Our swimwear is made from Econyl, an Italian fabric composed of 78% recycled nylon and 22% elastane. This high-quality fabric naturally offers UPF50+ protection, blocking 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays without the need for chemical treatments. Since the sun protection is inherent to the fabric, it won't wash off, ensuring you stay protected during all your outdoor activities.
What is the Sunsitiva sunshield top?
The Sunsitiva sunshield top is the key piece that makes our swimwear sun-protective. Designed to cover the areas most exposed to the sun—such as the shoulders, chest, back, and arms—this top provides UPF50+ protection. It can be easily added or removed as needed, allowing you to customize your sun protection based on your activity. This versatility ensures that you can enjoy the sun safely while keeping comfortable and protected.
How does UPF differ from SPF?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures fabric’s effectiveness in blocking UV rays, while SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures how long sunscreen will protect your skin. Sunsitiva’s UPF50+ fabric provides continuous protection without needing reapplication, unlike sunscreen.
Is the sun protection as effective in the water as it is on land?
Yes, Sunsitiva swimwear's UPF50+ protection remains just as effective in the water as it is on land. The fabric is designed to block 98% of harmful UV rays, even when wet, ensuring continuous protection while you swim.
How do I care for my Sunsitiva swimwear?
To prolong the life of your swimwear, rinse it in cold water after each use, hand wash with mild detergent, and lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid wringing out the fabric to maintain its elasticity and protection.
Where is Sunsitiva swimwear manufactured?
Sunsitiva swimwear is ethically manufactured in Bali, Indonesia. We partner with an amazing factory that offers a high labour standard, ensuring wages way above minimum wage, safe working conditions, and respect for workers' rights.
How is Sunsitiva committed to sustainability?
At Sunsitiva, sustainability is a core value. Our swimwear is made from Econyl, a regenerated Italian fabric composed of 78% recycled nylon and 22% elastane. This fabric is not only UPF50+ sun-protective without chemical treatments but also incredibly durable. By offering high-quality swimwear that lasts, we actively discourage fast fashion and promote a more thoughtful approach to consumption—encouraging our customers to buy less but invest in pieces that offer longevity and enduring value.
