SEASICK SWIM
Swimwear made circular
Our swimwear collection is eco-friendly and entirely made from recycled and recyclable materials, manufactured in collaboration with certified partners in Spain and Portugal. Our mission is to transform swimwear from a linear into a circular model, with a strong commitment to ocean preservation. We are part of the SEAQUAL® INITIATIVE - a community that works together to help clean our marine environment, raise awareness of the issue of marine litter and bring value to the waste they recover.

Designer(s)
Inga Hinkel
The designer, an AMD Düsseldorf graduate, honed her skills as a design manager for a small label for 5 years. Since 2016, she's been a freelance graphic and textile designer. In 2021, she launched SEASICK SWIM, where she designs everything herself. Her inspiration sparked during a 9-month stint in Melbourne, surrounded by fellow self-employed designers. She dreamed of this since her synchronized swimming days as a child, where she first designed swimwear for competitions with her professional seamstress mother.
