At Proto Marín, sustainability isn’t a slogan — it’s a mindset.

We design with intention, produce thoughtfully, and encourage slower, more considered wardrobes. Our goal is simple:

Fewer pieces. Better made. Loved longer.

We’re not perfect, and we won’t pretend to be. But we are committed to making decisions that respect the planet, the people who craft our garments, and the women who wear them.

Designed with Longevity in Mind

Every silhouette begins with these questions:

• Will this last beyond a single season?
  
• Does it fit beautifully and feel effortless?
  
• Will she reach for it again and again?
  

We choose timeless shapes, refined details, and high-quality materials so our pieces stay relevant — not disposable.

Because the most sustainable garment is the one you keep and wear.

Small-Batch Production

We intentionally produce in limited quantities.

This allows us to:

• minimize overproduction and waste
  
• maintain higher quality control
  
• ensure thoughtful craftsmanship at every step
  

Creating intentionally — instead of flooding inventory — helps reduce the environmental footprint of excess clothing that often ends up discarded.

Responsible Materials (Where Possible)

We continually work toward using more responsible fabrics and trims.

Where available, we prioritize:

• fabrics that are durable and maintain shape
  
• materials sourced from suppliers who share ethical and environmental standards
  
• options with recycled or lower-impact content (without compromising performance)
  

We also avoid unnecessary packaging and choose simpler, recyclable materials whenever possible.

As new technologies improve, we evolve with them — thoughtfully, not trend-driven.

Ethical Craftsmanship

Behind every garment are skilled hands and human stories.

We partner with manufacturing partners we trust — focusing on:

• fair working conditions
  
• safe environments
  
• respectful wages
  
• transparent communication
  

We believe luxury should never come at the expense of the people who create it.

Care That Extends Lifespan

Part of sustainability is how pieces are cared for.

We provide detailed care guidance to help protect your garments — reducing replacements and waste.

With proper washing and storage, your swimwear and resortwear last longer, travel further, and live more beautifully.

Packaging With Intention

We aim for packaging that protects — without excess.

Where possible, we use:

• minimal layers
  
• recyclable or reusable materials
  
• shipping solutions that reduce unnecessary plastic
  

We continue to refine packaging as better alternatives become available.

Progress Over Perfection

We are committed to honesty.

We won’t claim to be “fully sustainable” — no brand truly is.

Instead, we focus on continuous improvement:

• sourcing better fabrics as access grows
  
• partnering with responsible suppliers
  
• reducing waste throughout production
  
• educating our community on mindful care and longevity
  

Every collection brings new opportunities to do better — and we take those decisions seriously.

Our Promise

Proto Marín exists to inspire a slower, more intentional way of dressing.

Pieces made thoughtfully.

Purchased thoughtfully.

Worn thoughtfully.

Thank you for supporting craftsmanship, quality, and a future that values fewer — but more meaningful — things.

If you have questions about our practices or suggestions for improvement, we’d love to hear from you.
