Choosing the right swimwear fabric and colors is no longer just a design decision—it's a brand statement about performance, sustainability, and how well you understand your customers. [carvico]
Carvico VITA is an eco-sustainable techno-fabric made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon, produced from pre- and post-industrial waste such as discarded fishing nets and other nylon materials. [eternes-tex]
The fabric combines 78% recycled polyamide with 22% elastane, offering excellent stretch, muscle compression, and long-lasting comfort for modern swimwear collections. [kinkiswim]
Unlike conventional nylon, ECONYL® production can reduce the global warming impact of nylon by up to 80–90%, helping brands actively cut their environmental footprint while keeping high performance. [sundazesurf]
VITA also provides enhanced resistance to chlorine, sunscreens, and oils—often more than double that of many standard swim fabrics—so swimsuits retain color and shape for longer wear. [sharaiswim]
For brands selling into markets like Europe and North America, this combination of performance and sustainability has become a key selling point in product pages and marketing campaigns. [carvico]
From an OEM manufacturer and product developer's perspective, Carvico VITA helps solve several common pain points in women's swimwear.
- Shape retention and support: VITA offers strong elasticity and recovery, which improves fit on curves, reduces sagging, and keeps silhouettes clean even after many wears and washes. [carvico]
- Chlorine and UV resistance: The fabric provides high resistance to chlorine and pool chemicals, combined with UV protection often rated up to UPF 50+, extending product life for frequent swimmers and resort guests. [carvico]
- Sun cream and oil resistance: Compared with basic swimwear fabrics, VITA resists the damage that typically comes from sunscreens and body oils, helping brands reduce customer complaints about fading and fabric breakdown. [sharaiswim]
- Comfort and breathability: With a weight of around 190 g/m² and a soft hand feel, the fabric offers a balance of compression and comfort, suitable for both fashion swimwear and light-performance swim styles. [kinkiswim]
As more brands move toward multifunctional designs—bikini tops worn with jeans, one-pieces styled as bodysuits—this combination of durability and comfort makes VITA a smart foundation fabric for collections. [balieclipse]
Today's swimwear shoppers—especially in premium and mid-to-high segments—frequently ask where fabrics come from, how long pieces will last, and whether the brand is doing anything concrete for the planet. [carvico]
Carvico VITA supports clear, marketable sustainability claims:
- Made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon from waste such as fishing nets and industrial scraps, which helps keep plastic out of oceans and landfills. [balieclipse]
- Significantly lower global warming impact (around 80–90% less) compared with traditional nylon made from virgin oil-based raw materials. [sundazesurf]
- Resistant and long-lasting, meaning consumers replace garments less often—a simple but powerful sustainability argument you can highlight in your product copy. [carvico]
- Often backed by certifications such as STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX and compliance with standards like Global Recycle Standard (GRS) and Recycled Content Standard (RCS), which are increasingly demanded by retailers. [carvico]
For brands, this translates into tangible storytelling: you can show how every piece connects to waste reduction, energy savings, and longer product life, rather than using generic "eco-friendly" wording. [carvico]
Bali Swim has introduced 11 new Carvico VITA (ECONYL®) colors across their Women's Swim and Plus Size Swim ranges, based on research into classic best-sellers and upcoming global color trends.
These shades are designed to help brands refine their visual identity, speak to different customer personalities, and build cohesive capsule collections. [baliswim]
Below is a practical breakdown of the new colors and the consumer moods they target.
| Color Name | Shade & Mood | Best Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Sporting Red | A sensual, mature red with a flawless, confident vibe. | Statement bikinis, campaign hero styles. |
| Esmeralda | A fresh, reinvigorated green evolved from Green Lake. | Eco-story styles, nature-inspired collections. |
| King | Deep midnight blue with a timeless, elegant feel. | Core basics, “little black suit” alternative. |
| Dragon | Warm orange, similar to Etnico, positioned as a trend color for next season. | Seasonal drops, limited editions, festival edits. |
| Turchese | Turquoise blue, similar to Baia, with fresh and peaceful vibes. | Resort wear, tropical travel collections. |
| Clorofilla | Yellow-leaning green, close to Pomme, with bright spring–summer energy. | Spring-summer launches, youthful target segments. |
| Tripoli | Brown with a grey undertone, a best-seller from Women’s Active. | Elevated neutrals, mix-and-match separates. |
| Haze | Greyish green producing a soft and alluring look. | Minimalist ranges, modern tonal sets. |
| Zenith | Deep green for bold, charismatic looks. | Statement one-pieces, editorial looks. |
| Seal | A balanced grey for minimalist collections. | Capsule collections, gender-neutral stories. |
| Muse | Feminine, calm shade aligned with current trends. | Romantic ranges, bridal/occasion swim pieces. |
From a UX and merchandising viewpoint, this palette balances trend-driven colors (Dragon, Clorofilla, Zenith) with timeless core tones (King, Seal, Tripoli), making it easier for brands to design long-lasting collections that can be refreshed seasonally with minimal risk. [baliswim]
Alongside new shades, several existing Carvico colors are being discontinued at the mill level, with remaining stock only available while supplies last.
Once Bali Swim sells through these colors, they will not re-stock them unless placed as special orders directly from Carvico, where availability depends on remaining mill stock.
Two important MOQs apply on the fabric side:
- If Carvico still has leftover stock of a discontinued color, brands can typically order with a minimum of 1 roll per color (around 70 meters). [carvico]
- When Carvico has fully sold out, any re-run of non-stock colors may require an MOQ of 300 meters per color, which is only practical for larger orders or consolidated seasonal buys. [carvico]
For brands working with OEM partners, this makes early color planning critical, especially if a key best-seller depends on a shade that is being phased out.
In practice, a smart approach combines a phased transition plan—pushing customers toward similar new shades—with clear internal mapping between the old and new color cards. [baliswim]
From the perspective of a swimwear manufacturer serving global brands, here are practical ways to make the most of the new Carvico VITA colors.
1. Build a stable core color backbone
Use King, Seal, Tripoli, and Haze as your permanent "core" colors that run for multiple seasons.
These neutrals carry less trend risk and work well in bundles, upsells, and mix-and-match sets.
2. Layer limited seasonal accents
Add Dragon, Clorofilla, Zenith, and Esmeralda as fashion accents tied to specific drops (e.g., Spring/Summer, Resort collections). [baliswim]
Promote them in lookbooks and campaigns but keep your forecast conservative to avoid leftover stock when color trends shift.
3. Match colors to body types and markets
- Deep tones like King, Zenith, Tripoli flatter a wide range of body shapes and are often preferred in conservative or mature markets.
- Bright tones like Dragon and Turchese typically resonate in vacation destinations and younger, social-media-driven segments.
4. Use color stories to enhance UX
On websites and B2B catalogs, group products by color story rather than just by style—e.g., "Ocean Capsule" (King, Turchese, Seal) or "Tropical Heat" (Dragon, Clorofilla, Esmeralda). [baliswim]
This makes it easier for buyers and end users to visualize full outfits and increase basket size.
Well-written care instructions reduce returns and reinforce your positioning as a performance-focused, sustainable brand.
For Carvico VITA swimwear, you can recommend: [sundazesurf]
- Rinse swimwear in cool, fresh water immediately after contact with chlorine or salt water. [sundazesurf]
- Hand wash gently using mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners. [sharaiswim]
- Dry flat in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight or tumble dryers that can weaken elastane. [sundazesurf]
- Avoid rough surfaces that may cause pilling or abrasion, especially on seat and side areas. [kinkiswim]
These simple steps help customers keep color vibrancy and fabric strength longer, which supports your sustainability story and overall brand trust. [sharaiswim]
If your brand is looking to upgrade your women's swimwear collection with high-performance, sustainable fabric and a proven, fashion-forward color card, now is an ideal moment to act. [carvico]
By partnering with an experienced OEM factory familiar with Carvico VITA, you can move quickly from concept to production while managing color risks, MOQs, and international quality expectations. [eternes-tex]
For upcoming seasons, consider:
- Locking in your core VITA colors and sample yardage early.
- Planning limited seasonal capsules around new shades like Dragon, Clorofilla, and Zenith. [baliswim]
- Aligning your sustainability messaging with verified Carvico and ECONYL® data to strengthen your marketing claims. [balieclipse]
If you'd like OEM support on material sourcing, color matching, pattern development, and bulk production using Carvico VITA fabrics, you can reach out to a specialized swimwear manufacturer to review your tech packs, budget, and timeline. [carvico]

3. How should brands plan for discontinued VITA colors?

Carvico VITA fabrics are tested for harmful substances and are certified under standards such as STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, and they comply with leading ed content standards like GRS and RCS. [carvico]
