Koru Eco Brand began with an idea to provide eco-friendly swimwear for women who seek quality, function, fashion-forward trends, and a sense of environmental responsibility. Now we have expanded our eco line to include products for the home, kitchen and more!
Designers, Julie Brockmeyer Stine and April Slater. They wanted to incorporate eco-friendly fabrics and responsible textile manufacturing processes to swimwear for both sport and leisure.
Everything that goes into the production of this line is with an eco-minded approach – from the recycled, plantable hang tags, to the bamboo care labels, to the recycled cotton accessory bags they come in, and, of course, to the production of the fabric.
The koru [Maori for “folded” “coiled” “bight” “loop”] is a spiral unfurling fern frond which takes its shape from a stalk to a bulb at the end. The koru is widely used in Maori Arts and can symbolize new and evolving life, new beginnings, spiritual growth, strength, peace and harmony.
