The Summer House

“Understated, and yet nonconformist,” is how founders Rekha Datla and Shivangini Parihar have described their clothing on The Summer House’s website. While the designs and cuts are simple, the fabrics and the craftsmanship are rooted in sustainability and ethical practices. Made from econyl regenerated nylon—a fabric created from waste including fishing nets abandoned in the sea, old carpets and fabric straps—their swimwear consists of classic designs but are reversible so you can get more use and wear out of each piece.
