I like it’s versatility! I can use it as swimwear when swimming and as an everyday top when I’m not swimming. I love the story of the print being about two women travelling through the land. And the lovely, fascinating fact that the print on the top is also a map! I appreciate that they have provided details about their software solution for managing their supply chain. They also provided details about the materials they use and the environmental reasons for choosing it.

Love the printed rashie and the crop is a nice twist on usual designs As a manufacturing engineer in the ethical space, it’s clear that Charlotte is dedicated to her mission.

Oh what a beautifully unique and stunning swim top! I’m in love! With a double lined and wide waistband, the top doesn’t ride up and I love how the neck is high and gives me sun protection across my chest. It’s a treat to wear and looks fantastic on. Made to order, this is a true zero waste business model. Absolutely gorgeous.

In addition, Milpali uses eco-friendly packaging solutions like biodegradable mailers to reduce their environmental impact.
