I need Loyale’s eco-friendly bikini because I have been looking for an eco-friendly swimsuit for a year but the best options (like Loyale’s gorgeous creations) are way out of my price range. The bikini is beautiful and I would be more than thrilled to have it. Make a college student’s month?

I need one because my partner and I are both poor college students who do all the right things (biking, eating veg, etc.). She doesn’t have a swimsuit that fits her, and she’s been talking about buying a one-piece! To cover up her beautiful body with one of those would be like putting a tarp over the Mona Lisa. Help us (and our community) out by providing her with that sexy bikini. Please!

I don’t need this for me, but for my partner. She works incredibly hard and we’re both full-time students. We do everything we can to help the planet: eating veg, biking, conserving, composting, etc. She doesn’t have a swimsuit that fits, and she’s been talking about trying to find a one-piece for cheap. Excuse me, but a cheap one-piece would do nothing to display her beautiful physique. Please help!

i need a new bikini since i lost some weight after turning vegetarian and moving to a 6th floor walkup. my old swimsuit doesn’t fit anymore.

I have a few reasons why i would like to receive a beautiful bathing suit. The first would be my husband and i are trying to have a baby and the only way that will happen is throw IVF and are first 2 rounds of it did not work out, need i need to say this is very expensive. Second would be i love to look good for my hubby and last we live and play green.

I cannot understand why such small pieces of cloth are so over priced.
I would be really interested to know where they are made also……….

Hi CJBurns,

The suit is made right in New York City and the workers that make it are paid fair living wages.

I agree that $120 is pretty pricey (especially being a writer living in NYC), but I also feel like knowing that so much care and attention went into making sure the people who make the garment are compensated fairly is worth something to me. Jenny works really hard thinking of ways to make her clothes as good on the inside as they are on the outside, so in a way, her customers are paying for her ideas and effort – not just the actual fabric which I admit you don’t get much of here!

I have a pretty limited budget myself, but I like to think that when I do spend, I am using my dollars as votes, so I’m willing to splurge to support something I believe in.

Thanks so much for reading and good questions!

I love that Loyale are the people to talk to when Vogue wants to revive a design. I\’m lovin\’ Loyale\’s Philosophy that\’s on their web page and hope it influences other companies to have the same attitude. I\’m quite pleased that a company like this is in the spotlight, proving that being green can be uber sexy *and* eco-friendly *and* traded fairly! I want to give that bikini to my gorgeous girlfriend who is turning a new \’green\’ leaf for me and because she is uber sexy!

The new bikini would stop the boys looking at my new wife all the time when she goes on the beach, at the moment she does not have any bikini to wear .

I would give this beautiful bikini to my girlfriend on one of our wellness weekends. It would fit to her eye.

I really want this bikini! good luck every one! Summer is here

Not sure I would be able to rock this suit like Gisele does, but always makes me feel good to support designers that create ethical, eco-conscious and gorgeous fashion lines. It really is so important. We have the power to change the fashion industry by investing in clothing with a conscience. Thanks so much for posting!

My wife surely deserves to win this swim suit because she has been working very hard to promote her \”green\” website. Her website and blog give people ways to live more \”green\” in their every day lives. She has also been swimming a lot lately while working as a volunteer swim instructor and working out to get in shape for summer. She would look great in this swim suit. She is a perfect candidate to win the Loyale\’s eco bikini.

I’d love to bathe in eco-chic design,
the color and style make me feel so fine
to be seen in such a Loyale little suit.
And to think, it’s green friendly to boot!

I love this bikini! I’ve been working for about two years now to become more eco-friendly. Our family has gone vegetarian, learned to compost, and we recycle like crazy! I can’t think of a better way to keep going green than to green my wardrobe!!!!

Plus, I showed the bikini to my husband and asked if he thought it would look nice on me. He says he loves it and it’ll look great on the floor! Must be a winner!!!!!!! ;P

Love it, & won’t go swimmng without it, I’m living in 110 degree heat in az so that saying a lot that I won’t go swim without it, please help me get thru summer with it!!!

I would love to win this bikini for my wife, who will need it whilst watching our 3 kids all summer long at the city pool. A green and fantastic looking way of saying thank you for keeping them out of trouble whilst they learn to swim.

There are two reasons I need this bikini:
1. For the first time in my life I am a size two (I think I skipped it on the way up)! I dropped many dress sizes over the winter and I need a new bikini to show off my awesome new body.
2. I am now an avid rock climber and if you know anyone in the community, you know we are all about leaving no trace and living a green lifestyle. What better way to do that then to show off an awesome eco bikini?

I spend the entire year waiting for summer and the first day I can go to the beach. I love feeling the hot sand between my toes, and walking into the crashing waves. It is truly powerful, all these forces and natural wonders around us that have been here for thousands of years, and hopefully many, many more if we do our part. It makes me realize that this Earth is a beautiful and blessed gift and that we really need to do more to make sure we don\\\\\\\’t take it for granted. I guess that on such an occasion it doesn\\\\\\\’t really matter what I\\\\\\\’m wearing. But how nice to have one more reminder, especially one crafted by man, that we care and that we can make a difference. A little bit at a time.

I love the Loyal because they full of positive !

I’m in future, i’m in eco and i need that eco-pack for my wife.

Grrreeeen coming !!!

It’s rare/unique, eco-friendly, beautiful and so is my girfriend. It’s her color too.

Why should my girlfriend walk in the same uneco-friendly bikini as many others who doesn’t care of the environment when they buy and when she really cares? Well, that’s what I love with it, it’s unique, innovative, eco-friendly as well as practical.

Loyale’s the best place to shop! The ease of finding what I want always! I have just recently recovered from an illness and have gone from a size 14 to a size 4, maybe a size 2 now. I live 2 blocks from the Ocean in Myrtle Beach, SC and have not been able to go to the beach for lack of swim attire (used to be because I was so sick). Going to the beach helps me heal and to give thanks to God for keeping me around on this gorgeous earth he created! This is why I absolutely NEED this eco-bikini for this swim season. God Bless and have a Awesome Day!

AS AN ECO-FRIENDLY ARTIST – I RECOVER TREE BARK FROM TREES THAT HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, PRESERVE AND CAREFULLY TRANSFORM INTO A LIGHTED WALL SCONCE OR TABLE LAMP.

I NEED THIS ECO-FRIENDLY SWIMSUIT BECAUSE, NOT ONLY DO I NEED SOMETHING TO WEAR AT MY NEXT SHOWING BUT, THE MORE I CAN PROMOTE AN ECO-FRIENDLY LIFESTYLE THE MORE I CAN PROMOTE BOTH MYSELF AND INHABITAT.

I need this amazing swimsuit so I can show it off at the non clothing optional beaches in town! Without it, I would be showing off something very different at the local nude beach. Cover me amazing eco-bikini and I will parade you everywhere and spread the word about how awesome you are for our one and only planet. Thanks Inhabitat for the work you do. cheers!

What’s not to love about Loyale clothing! Loyale is all about eco friendly chic-ness! Jenny Hwa designed this super hot bikini using organic cotton; which does not contain any toxic chemicals. Loyale’s clothing is made in the USA; which helps our national economy. The best part is that a portion of the Loyale proceeds go to Green Corps, a non- profit ecological support facility! I would love to own the chic eco-friendly Barstow Bikini, so I can strut my eco-hottie bodie this summer!

I live in a beach city so half of the time I wear bathing suits as underwear! If I were the proud owner of a Loyale bathing suit I wear it until it pretty much falls apart… too much information maybe? But I do like wearing bathing suits under my daily wear- it’s comfortable, breathable and helps me cut down quite a bit on the amount of clothing I own. It also allows me to head to the beach and play in the water or sit in the sun whenever the mood strikes me. Although… I actually haven’t been to the beach in ages.

I live only a few miles away from the beach in sunny socal, but I attend university full time in addition to being enrolled in 3 other certificate programs at the community college. I’m constantly out (sometimes for 12+ hours a day), but this term I’m completing a couple of my certificate programs so I can finally relax a bit! I haven’t been swimming for awhile and have the body of a untoned 12 year old boy (sitting/sleeping in all those long hours of lecture have taken their toll), but the Loyale bikini is super cute (the shape and color are very flattering), so I won’t feel as self conscious about my weird body, plus at the same time I can feel good about wearing a product from a company that knows whats up and operates like a good company should!

Whether or not I actually have a shot at owning this, thanks for reminding me that summer is coming up. It’s time to dust off the old bike and pedal to the beach and sit in the sand. With or without a Loyale bathing suit, it will be awesome (though of course a Loyale suit would certainly increase the awesome-ness)!

The perfect eco-motivation for me to lose those few extra poundsI put on while caretaking and advocating for my son who is healing. Swimming and organic is bringing health back to his and our life. Thanks.

I\’m a green goddess, per an article someone wrote about me because I do all I can to help this planet. I would love to have this eco suit!
