Sustainability

At Khenalu, we believe the ocean connects us all, and our planet generously supports us every day. That’s why we're dedicated to giving back by creating eco-conscious clothing that minimizes environmental impact. Every high-quality piece is designed with purpose and care in Puerto Rico and ethically manufactured in China. Our goal is to lessen our environmental footprint and ensure that every aspect of our products reflects our deep commitment to the planet.

Limited Quantities & Ethical Manufacturing
We produce our collections in small, limited runs to avoid overproduction and maintain a sense of exclusivity for our clients. Our swimwear is crafted in a trusted, small workshop where we know the artisans personally, ensuring ethical labor practices and a healthy, supportive work environment. By prioritizing sustainable and ethical production, we reduce waste and uphold high standards for everyone involved.

Sustainable Materials
Our swimwear is made from 85% nylon and 15% spandex, offering built-in UV 50+ protection. The fabric is OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it’s been tested for harmful substances and meets strict safety standards. While this material isn’t made from recycled content, it’s ethically sourced and chosen for both comfort and environmental consideration. We’re committed to evolving and are exploring recycled fabric options for future collections as we continue to improve our impact, one stitch at a time.

Plastic-Free Packaging
We’re committed to eliminating plastic from our packaging as much as possible. Our kraft mailers, boxes, and tissue paper are all recyclable, and we’re constantly refining our process to reduce waste. While a few elements—like the hygienic liner and reusable swimwear pouch—currently contain plastic, we’ve chosen these intentionally for hygiene and reusability. Everything else is plastic-free, and we’re working hard to make our entire packaging experience as sustainable as possible.

At Khenalu, every choice we make is driven by our commitment to the ocean and our planet. We’re dedicated to creating pieces that not only look good but also feel good to wear—knowing they’re made with care for both you and the environment.
