FASHION
SANS FAFF
SANS FAFF embraces the belief that fashion should be a joyful expression of self, not an overwhelming task. The brand celebrates the essentials, offering timeless pieces that balance classic elegance with bold, modern flair—all while being eco-conscious.
What sets SANS FAFF apart? Their commitment to sustainability. The brand uses lightweight bamboo fibre, not only for its softness that improves with each wash, but also because bamboo is a fast-growing, renewable resource. This choice aligns with SANS FAFF’s green credentials, making them a standout in eco-friendly fashion.
For expectant and new mums, SANS FAFF also offers a “bump-friendly” range of dresses, perfect for wearing both during and after pregnancy, thanks to the versatility of bamboo fibre.
DEPLOY London

The brand creates smart, sophisticated pieces with a twist. The Vanda Reversible Wrap Dress is perfect for the office and at the bar, offering a pattern on one side and a block colour on the other, which means less time spent flapping over what to don where, and more time generally being awesome. The brand puts sustainability at the fore, upcycling, sourcing responsibly, and ensuring that its garments suit your lifestyle and last a long time.

It offers bikini tops, bikini bottoms, and swimsuits in all manner of shapes (including maternity cossies), and a mixture of designs, from block colours to jazzy prints (seashells, we’re looking at you). To provide an even closer fit, many of Underprotection’s bikini tops and swimsuits have adjustable straps and removable padding. All of the brand’s wares are made using sustainable fabrics, such as recycled polyester, and arrive in recycled or biodegradable packaging. Additionally, most of their water-bound wares are vegan.
POSIDONIE
Saying no to plastic pollution, POSIDONIE recycles abandoned fishing nets – which are responsible for 55% of global ocean pollution – into swimwear. After processing, the nets are upcycled with elastane to create a resistant, long-lasting fabric. The designs are classic and minimal with little sustainable extras like tie closures on bikini tops to replace iron or plastic, and versatility in how they can be worn. All of the swim pieces have been tested by swimmers and water sports experts. Even more impressively, the founder, Lauren, works another job to self-finance the brand. Female empowerment, ocean protection, and a gorgeous swimsuit – what better present is there?!
