Responsibility

How do you choose your materials?

At GILI’S the origin of our materials is critical for our standard of quality, so we source 100% of our fabrics and cloths in Europe, (Italy and Spain). This enables us to guarantee the quality and to keep a close eye on their manufacture and durability.

Do you use environmentally friendly materials? If so, which?

Nearly all the materials used for our swimwear are produced from recycled polyester fibre which is much cleaner than ordinary polyester and without any heavy metals.

These essential qualities lie at the heart of our global strategy, a strategy focused on sustainability.

What about the cotton?

The cotton used for our t-shirts is OEKO Tex certified biological cotton.

Men's swimsuits, Trawangan with elastic waistband and Air with buttoned waistband, as well as Meno boys' swim shorts are available for embroidery.

Unfortunately, swimsuits containing elastane (women's swimsuits, girls' swimsuits and swim trunks) cannot be embroidered because the material is more fragile.
