Twin brothers, Mike and Alex Faherty always had a dream of creating a company together ever since growing up near the beach in New Jersey. They turned this dream into what we know now as the Faherty Brand swim collection. This up and coming brand uses recycled plastics to create their beautiful swim wear that is trendy and sustainable. Mike spent seven years working in design for Ralph Lauren and Alex had a finance job; combining their skills makes their company both fashionable, and profitable. Check out their About section of their site for their full story shown below:
Their missing statement is simple: "I've learned that premium quality materials and superior craftmanship are the integral elements to design. Since the creation of our namesake brand, I've tirelessly planned every stitch, detail, color, and yarn count and spent months in the world's leading factories perfecting each product. I travel the world searching for inspiration, collecting indigenous textiles and vintage fabrics and researching innovative, eco-conscious means to manufacture. My never-ending mission is to create the highest quality casual clothing." Premium products with high fashion patterns. The brand was recently featured on E! and has one factory store open in New York City.
Their signature swimwear fabric is made primarily of recycled polyester from plastic bottles blended with Lycra® that not only has an impeccable fit and luxurious feel, but is eco-friendly.
The benefits of recycled polyester as listed on their site are:
- Requires approximately 2/3 less energy and almost 90% less water than the production of virgin polyester
- Reduces global hydrocarbon consumption and emissions
- Utilizes post-consumer discards that would otherwise end up on ocean, beaches, landfills, other water sources or produce toxic emissions during incineration
- Creates less air, water and soil contamination
By working to protect our environment, especially the oceans, lakes and rivers that are central to our life’s passions, our hope is that Faherty Brand not only represents a commitment to high quality clothing, but to ensuring a continued quality of life on the water for generations to come.
The Faherty brothers have designed a line of suits in various prints and styles. You can mix and match the tops and bottoms for any number of suits. The bustier suits are their most popular but they also have string top and one piece bikinis on the women's portions of their website.
On their men's site, they have board shorts, trunks and all day shorts for purchase. Select from the adorable styles above for the beach and for loungewear styles.
