Cotton
A beautifully soft and durable natural fibre, cotton is 100% biodegradable. It is hypoallergenic, lightweight and breathable, making it an ideal choice for your little one’s clothing, especially in the early days.
We have made a conscious effort to prioritise organic cotton in our collections. Organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful chemicals, leaving the soil, air and water free from harmful contaminants while also providing a safer work environment for farmers. It also produces fewer carbon emissions and uses fewer resources to grow. By using organic cotton, Illoura The Label is able to guarantee that from the farm through to your wardrobe, our cotton pieces have met high sustainability and ethical standards.

Linen
Derived from the flax plant, Linen is extremely durable and has the amazing property of getting better with every wear. Linen is considered a preferred material as it requires no herbicides or pesticides to grow and generally all of the plant can be used, reducing waste.

Econyl
Soft, strong and good for our planet, ECONYL® ticks all of our boxes. Our swimwear collection is made from ECONYL®, an innovative regenerated nylon fabric derived from post-consumer materials such as discarded fishing nets, textile waste and industrial plastic retrieved from landfills and oceans. Virgin nylon production is very pollutive, requiring high levels of petroleum and water. ECONYL® reduces the comparative global warming impact of this process by up to 90%, whilst also removing waste products from our precious environment.
We use only certified ECONYL® for both the outer and inner linings of our swimwear. Sourced from the original Italian producer to ensure the highest quality product that will last for countless summers in the sun.
