FOR WOMEN, BY WOMEN
Women are the heart and soul of Monte & Lou. As an independent, female-owned and run company, everything we do is through the lens of supporting other women, in their lives and in their businesses.
In every decision we make, from our designs to our business practices and the suppliers that we partner with, we seek to empower, promote and uplift women at every opportunity. We truly believe that when women are succeeding, everyone is succeeding.
SUSTAINABILITY: A WORLD VIEW
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. At Monte & Lou, we consider the environmental, social and economic impact of every garment that we make and every decision that we take. With our ongoing pursuit of the latest innovations and best business practices, we always strive to do better by people and the planet.
FABRIC DEVELOPMENT
Our swimwear fabrications, both outer and lining, are created from recycled nylon yarn and certified by the Global Recycled Standard for your peace of mind. These fabrics are developed by us in collaboration with our mills. Every decision—from the weight and content of the fabrics to the way they feel against your skin—has been made by us, with you in mind.
Fabrics in our resort wear are also consciously sourced, and include 100% linen, Eco Cotton, and Lenzing Ecovero, a biodegradable viscose created with the highest environmental standards.
Our printing methods employ state-of-the-art processes and all of our fabrics conform to the Oeko-tex® Standard 100, providing assurance that all our textiles are produced free from harmful chemicals.
A LIGHTER FOOTPRINT
Just like our customers, our garments travel the world, and here we have also aimed to reduce our impact. Items are shipped from the manufacturer in biodegradable and compostable bags; when we send them to their new home, they are tucked into reusable, recycled plastic zip-lock wet packs, and delivered in compostable satchels made from natural plant-based materials.
Each garment is designed with dedication to every detail and created with the greatest care for longevity. These are pieces in which to make memories, for years to come. In turn, we trust that you will treat each item with care and thoughtfulness. If you’d like to learn more about extending the lifespan of your Monte & Lou items, please read more here.
THE FEEL-GOOD FACTOR
When you slip into a piece from Monte & Lou, we want you to feel like the best version of yourself, whether on the powder-white sands of the Maldives or in your own backyard.
Every touchpoint of the brand is created with you in mind. Our uplifting bespoke prints are designed to reveal your innate sense of style, and our custom fabrications to feel luxurious to the touch. The beautiful construction, impeccable fit and superior support that we have refined through our years of experience will empower you to take every step with confidence.
Because when you feel truly yourself, the possibilities are endless…
