SEAQUAL fabric: Sustainable fashion made with recycled plastics from the sea

In a world where sustainability has become a priority, the fashion industry is embracing innovative materials that reduce environmental impact. One of the most notable is SEAQUAL fabric , a revolutionary material made from plastics collected from the sea. This fabric, in addition to being an eco-friendly solution, offers exceptional water resistance, making it an ideal choice for creating raincoats, vests, and functional accessories .

The Galician coast: Inspiration and commitment

At Ïk Studio , our connection with the sea goes beyond the use of recycled materials. We grow and create inspired by the beauty of the Galician coast, with Arousa Island as one of our favorite refuges, a place where the ocean reminds us every day of the importance of caring for it. Nature, the ebb and flow of the waves, and the changing colors of the Atlantic are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for our collections.

Choosing sustainable fabrics isn't just a design decision; it's a true commitment to our surroundings, to maritime culture, and to the way we understand fashion: with respect and love for the land and sea that have seen us grow up.

What is SEAQUAL fabric?

SEAQUAL is a high-quality recycled fabric made from ocean-bound plastics. Through a cleaning and processing process, these waste materials are transformed into durable textile fibers, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising quality or performance.

Its manufacture is part of the SEAQUAL initiative , a global movement that involves fishermen, NGOs and coastal communities in collecting marine plastic waste to give it a new life in the textile industry.

Properties of SEAQUAL fabric

• Water resistant: Ideal for outerwear such as raincoats and vests, protecting against rain and moisture.

• Breathable and lightweight: Provides comfort without compromising weather protection.

• Durable and recyclable: Designed to have a long life, reducing textile waste.

• Contribute to ocean cleanliness: Every garment made with SEAQUAL helps reduce marine pollution and supports the circular economy.

Inner lining: Comfort and breathability

Garments made with SEAQUAL fabric are often complemented by a 100% breathable polyester lining . In the case of Ïk Studio's raincoats, the inner lining stands out for its navy blue color , a direct reference to the ocean and the brand's commitment to sustainability. This combination allows the garments to be comfortable, functional, and aligned with environmental protection values.

An artisanal process from the atelier

In our workshop and atelier , each garment is born with a story. From the selection of materials to the pattern and construction, every step is a tribute to craftsmanship and sustainability. We design garments built to last, with comfortable and versatile cuts that adapt to the lifestyle of those who, like us, love nature and music, and don't let the rain stop them from enjoying what they love most.

We work passionately on every detail, ensuring that each piece is not only functional but also conveys our essence: fashion with an Atlantic soul, that breathes the sea and is committed to a more conscious future.

Fashion and sustainability: A real commitment

Innovative brands like Ïk Studio are leading the way toward more conscious fashion, proving that it's possible to combine design, functionality, and environmental responsibility. Thanks to SEAQUAL fabric, a positive impact on the planet is achieved, transforming waste into garments that not only protect from the rain but also tell a story of change and ecological commitment.

Choosing garments made with SEAQUAL fabric means choosing a fashion that cares for the planet. Raincoats, vests, and accessories made with this material not only offer effective protection against water, but also contribute to reducing plastics in the ocean. With each garment, we take another step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future, with the ocean as our guide and our land as our inspiration.
