Fondu represents the carefree essence of summer, the spirit of surfing, and our profound connection with Mother Earth.
Materials
Our swimsuits are made from premium Italian fabrics, Carvico Vita and Carvico Vita PL.
These fabrics are made from recycled plastic waste. They are 78% recycled polyester/nylon, and 22% spandex. To see all full benefits and qualities, please visit the Carvico website for more info.
We also enjoy sifting through boutique dealers to uncover hidden treasures such as deadstock fabrics and vintage hardware.
Our Makers
Crafted with care and precision, our swimsuits come to life under the skilled hands of artisans in Bali and New Zealand. Devoted to fairness, we hold dear the commitment that our manufacturers adhere to the highest standards of ethical labor practices.
Packaging
Your swimsuit will come lovingly and minimally packaged. Our packaging, including mailers and hygeine stickers, are either compostable or recyclable.
Contributions
Since our inception, Fondu has been driven by a desire to contribute meaningfully to our community. Guided by this commitment, we commit to allocating a minimum of 4% of our sales to causes close to our hearts. At present, our focus lies with Women's Refuge in Aotearoa.
