HOT Red Hot Chili Peppers Unisex Hawaiian Shirt

HOT Red Hot Chili Peppers Unisex Hawaiian Shirt . The bikini tops are available in EU cup sizes A to G (UK A to F) with band sizes 70 to 95 (UK 32 to 42). “That’s a total of 49 different sizes.” The three tops are also available in three colours. “That would mean that you would have one piece of each top in 450 bikini tops. You often buy about ten pieces of each size. That’s a huge amount in terms of production and stock.” Van Oorschot, as a start-up, doesn’t have the budget for that, she said honestly, adding that “overproduction is a huge problem”.How does the fashion entrepreneur tackle this issue without shrinking her size range? Simple, she applies a well-known technique that makes her bikinis adjustable. “Often only the shoulder straps are adjustable. I also apply this technique to the band size, but with a sturdier slider so that it doesn’t shift easily. This makes a top suitable for three sizes at once.” Van Oorschot also chooses to focus on larger cup sizes with The Balcony, while The Triangle focuses on smaller cup sizes. “Not all cup sizes are available for every top. So, I ultimately offer 33 cup sizes and have reduced my production by 60 percent.”

The fashion entrepreneur also makes sustainability a norm. “I don’t want to make products that come at the expense of the planet or the people who make them.” A beautiful goal, but it didn’t make her search for the right supplier any easier. Van Oorschot spent over 1.5 years looking for a suitable partner. “My requirements were quite high – I’m a small player with a relatively low budget, but I think it’s essential to work with a factory that is certified by a third party in terms of sustainability and working conditions.”In addition, the manufacturer must be experienced in making bikinis in (large) cup sizes. “Most producers with experience in cup sizes are in the lingerie world and don’t have the right machines for producing swimwear.” So, only a few remained. “In the end, I went to a lot of trade shows; in Paris, Cannes, Istanbul etc., where I pitched my company with my designs under my arm. One producer took on two start-ups annually and I was one of them. That was fantastic!”The producer is based in Tunisia and is SA8000 certified. This means that the factories have safe workplaces, employees receive a living wage, and waste and chemicals are handled in an environmentally friendly way. The bikinis contain 84 percent polyester made from 100 percent recycled material. The stretch fabric, on the other hand, is not yet fully made from recycled material, as this is still difficult to obtain, explained Van Oorschot. The fabrics come from Barcelona, where the company Estilmar collects plastic from the Mediterranean Sea, which is then processed into yarns and ultimately forms a fabric. The factory also operates on solar energy and emits little CO2.
