Our Story

Inspired by the beautiful islands of Hawaii, Erme Swim (Er-me)  is made for our earth-loving, aquaphilic enthusiast.  We are a small company that practices slow fashion providing high-quality, ethically made, affordable, sustainable swimwear .  Our goal is to inspire others to fight against ocean plastic. We want to show other fashion businesses that it is achievable to run an ethical sustainable business. From our product to our shipping materials, Erme Swim has found eco-friendly alternatives for aquaphile’s to enjoy the water in their bikini.

Our swimwear is made from ECONYL®, 100% regenerated nylon made from fishing nets and plastic bottles that were found in our oceans.  Not only are our suits sustainable, but our fabric is known to be comfortable, durable, and have superior resistance to degradation from chlorine, creams, and sun oils.  

A portion of every bikini purchased through Erme Swim is donated to River Ocean Land Ecology (R.O.L.E) Foundation. The R.O.L.E Foundation runs a zero-waste facility and environmental development programs in Bali. Their vision supports zero waste to oceans, sustainable businesses for coastal communities, and women’s business education and development.  

AQUAPHILE:  Someone who loves all things related to the water. Someone who loves doing anything by the water, on the water or in the water.
