Salt Gypsy is an Australian swimwear brand that’s all about surfing and sustainability. Their styles and designs are functional – rash tops, surf leggings, high-waisted bottoms, supportive tops and waterproof pouches. The brand also produces surfboards. 

Salt Gypsy’s garments are made from Econyl and all pieces are produced in Australia using responsible manufacturing practices. 

Salt Gypsy Swimwear started out in 2012, with the aim to develop the surf leggings for women surfing; and continues to be focused on creating a closed loop production system using ‘re-polymerised’ waste materials and supporting the slow fashion movement.
