We're thinking big picture this season, and that means we're not just stopping at swimsuits. It's time to think about the whole package – cue the perfect capsules for beach and pool.
The garment technology team has worked closely with our longstanding swimwear suppliers to create compact, tightly knitted and woven fabrics that are structured to enhance protection from harmful UV rays. These swimwear fabrics must also be durable enough to meet Boden’s high performance standards:
“All our fabrics have been tested to provide UPF50+ protection and long-lasting performance in seawater and chlorinated swimming pools after multiple washes.”
For customers’ added peace of mind, Sophie and her team have helped to develop a Sun Safe range of swimwear that’s safer by design. These swim styles offer more coverage with longer sleeve and leg lengths. This season we’re offering a women’s rash vest and a colourful selection of Sun Safe surf suits and rash vests for Minis.
“I’m also responsible for creating a flattering fit across the whole range and that’s my favourite part of the job.”
Finally, our garment technologists are helping Boden be kinder to the planet. Thanks to them we’ve been able to ensure that all of our swimwear outers and linings are produced using recycled polyamide and polyester.
It’s all in a day’s work for a Boden boffin.
