Aventura Swimwear - A affluent brand founded from a deep love for our shores. Erik Leutar was inspired by his admiration for the ocean and his commitment to sustainability. The brand’s story began in 2023, following two years of innovation and research into his product pipeline and customers; which, has led to his first collection this year. His collection exudes luxury and contemporary styling for the modern woman, taking sharp necklines, sculpturing fits and bright mono colours and bold designs. Aventura aims to radiate empowerment, elegance, and responsibility.
Constructed in Italy and produced using ECONYL® yarn - a revolutionary fibre made from forms of plastic waste, such as, fishing nets and industrial plastic. Turning plastic waste into new is an element of Aventura Swim’s design process that Erik is dedicated to following. It is estimated that 2.3 million tonnes of micro plastic was in the Ocean in 2019, a number that is ever growing; 35% of which is a result of plastic from washing clothing in production processes and from an individual’s washing machine. One machine load of clothes sheds up to 17 million microplastics into the ocean. By using regenerated nylon, designers have endless possibilities to create new products without using new resources. ECONYL® regenerated nylon contributes to lessening the impact of fashion related climate change. Nylon is created using petrochemical-derived monomers such as crude oils, primarily, adipic acid, and hexamethylene diamine. These raw materials undergo a polymerisation process that creates polyamides, which are then weaved into fibres. This process uses thousands of gallons of crude oils, a finite resource which is also damaging our land and oceans. ECONYL® sources materials like discarded fishing nets straight from the ocean, reducing the oceans plastic pollution and uses 70,000 barrels less of crude oil per 10,000 tons of raw materials than traditional nylon.
Aventura cares for our oceans and designs for the ethically conscious. Modern women who value luxury and sustainability. Our pieces are durable and versatile, taking you from the beach to resort, beach club to lounging. Embracing modern designs with timeless elegance. Aventura Swimwear is designed to celebrate summer memories, confidence and responsibility. This is the future of Ocean waste, and Aventura Swimwear is at the forefront.
