Belamer

Maria and Ber­ta are sis­ters and foun­ders of Bela­mer. They sha­re the same valu­es, the same love for natu­re and pur­sue the same dre­am: to ins­pi­re natu­ral beauty.

Passi­ona­te abo­ut caring for the pla­net and craf­t­sman­ship, all Bela­mer pieces are desig­ned and pro­du­ced ethi­cal­ly and res­pon­si­bly in a wor­k­shop in Bar­ce­lo­na.

They work with a wor­k­shop that is run by a team of ama­zing women with over 20 years of expe­ri­en­ce in the swimwe­ar indus­try. In addi­ti­on, wor­king with local seam­s­tre­sses allows them to have bet­ter con­trol over the deve­lop­ment of the­ir pro­duc­ts and ensu­re that fair wor­king con­di­ti­ons are met.

All the­ir gar­ments are made with rege­ne­ra­ted raw mate­ri­als of very high quality. They work with ECONYL® and other local bran­ds com­mit­ted to inno­va­ti­on and envi­ron­men­tal care. 

ECONYL® recla­ims post-con­su­mer mate­ri­als and aban­do­ned fishing nets that have beco­me entan­gled in coral reefs and the oce­an flo­or to cre­ate new mate­ri­als whi­le cle­aning the mari­ne ecosystem.

The pro­cess of making recy­cled fibres requ­ires less ener­gy than making vir­gin fibres. The manu­fac­tu­re of recy­cled fibres uses up to 90% less water and gene­ra­tes 80% less car­bon foot­print than the manu­fac­tu­re of new fabric.

In addi­ti­on, its fabrics have the OEKO-TEX® STAN­DARD 100 cer­ti­fi­ca­te, which guaran­te­es that they have been tes­ted for hazar­do­us sub­s­tan­ces and that they have been pro­du­ced res­pon­si­bly in local workshops.

The quality and com­fort of swimwe­ar requ­ires elas­ti­city in the pro­duc­ts. The­re­fo­re, Bela­mer adds a small amo­unt of syn­t­he­tic elas­ta­ne to the gar­ments, which makes it dif­fi­cult to recy­cle later.

Econyl® or rege­ne­ra­ted nylon toget­her with elas­ta­ne is cur­ren­tly not recy­cla­ble. The recy­cla­bi­lity of the pro­duc­ts is hig­hly impor­tant, as it depen­ds on being able to reco­ver them, recy­cle them and thus extend the use­ful life of the pro­duc­ts manufactured.

Bela­mer stri­ves to extend the life of the pro­duc­ts by offe­ring a repa­ir ser­vi­ce for its bat­hro­om parts.

At Bela­mer they work to sup­port and pro­mo­te the local eco­nomy.

All the­ir pieces are pro­du­ced ethi­cal­ly and res­pon­si­bly in a wor­k­shop in Bar­ce­lo­na (Spa­in), and 80% of the­ir raw mate­ri­als are sour­ced from Italy and the rema­ining 20% from Giro­na (Spa­in).

Pro­du­cing in this way also hel­ps them to redu­ce the­ir CO2 emi­ssi­ons and sup­port the local economy.

Bela­mer is a vegan brand! It does not use any mate­ri­al of ani­mal ori­gin in its collections. 

Bela­mer is a slow fashi­on brand! It makes small pro­duc­ti­ons and re-stoc­ks on demand. This resul­ts in a reduc­ti­on of excess inven­tory and less was­te.

They have also cre­ated an exclu­si­ve repa­ir ser­vi­ce for the­ir swimwe­ar. If you have one of the­ir swimwe­ar items and it needs repa­ir, you can send it to the­ir wor­k­shop for repair. 

Repa­iring ins­te­ad of throwing away is the key to sus­ta­ina­ble fashi­on! By exten­ding the life of your clot­hes you can redu­ce your car­bon foot­print, water con­sump­ti­on and lan­d­fill spa­ce by up to 30% in just 9 months.

Bela­mer has dis­clo­sed to COSH! the­ir pur­c­ha­sing and manu­fac­tu­ring loca­ti­ons, but for the moment they pre­fer not to publish the name of the fac­to­ri­es on the­ir web­si­te, due to com­pe­ti­ti­on con­cer­ns. Howe­ver, on the­ir web­si­te you will find infor­ma­ti­on abo­ut the com­po­si­ti­on of the­ir pro­duc­ts and the­ir com­mit­ment to sustainability.

COSH! ensu­res that Bela­mer is a tran­s­pa­rent brand!
