Article: The Sustainable Soul of MARRAKESH

The Sustainable Soul of MARRAKESH

The Sustainable Soul of MARRAKESH

There’s a place where lanterns glow like scattered stars, where the scent of cinnamon and saffron lingers in the air, and where time slows down just enough to let you soak in the beauty of every detail. 

That place is Marrakech. A place that says ‘Relax angel, I’ve got you.’ It winks at you through its winding souks, hums sweet nothings through the strum of oud strings, and throws color around you too vivid to describe. And it’s here, amidst the rhythm of Berber drums and the warmth of desert breezes, in all that magic and mayhem, the Marrakesh Collection was born.

Our Marrakesh Collection Reflects a Slower, More Meaningful Future for Swimwear

It begins with a scroll. A bright, sultry bikini flashes across your screen, sun-drenched, styled to perfection, and whispering promises of summer. It’s affordable, trendy, and just a click away.
But what if the true cost of that bikini goes far beyond the price tag?


We believe fast fashion has taken a heavy toll on the planet, on people, and on creativity. It’s heartbreaking to see small businesses pushed aside, while mass-produced pieces flood the market at prices so low, they tempt buyers with designer knock-offs that lack the soul and artistry of the original.

Behind those bargain tags are often unfair labor conditions and cheap, eco-harming fabrics. It’s a system that sacrifices quality, ethics, and the environment for profit and we’re here to do things differently.

A slower path. One rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability, and soul. And that philosophy is more embodied than ever in our latest collection.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, it’s a reflection of who we are and what we believe in. We’re not just creating swimwear; we’re crafting a story, a feeling, a deeper connection to the world around us. Every detail, from our fabrics to our packaging, is chosen with care and intention.

At SL, every piece in our collection is lovingly handmade, crafted slowly, not churned out on assembly lines. Behind each stitch is a pair of skilled hands, years of craftsmanship, and a whole lot of heart. 


When you wear one of our kinis, you acknowledge the wearing of the work of artisans who pour their energy into creating something beautiful, sustainable, and built to last.

Fast fashion might give you instant gratification. But we’re here for slow creation, thoughtful design, and pieces that feel as special as they look.

By choosing sustainable materials, we’re thinking beyond the moment honoring the beauty of nature and doing our part to protect it. For us, it’s about slowing down, creating with purpose, and offering pieces that feel meaningful, lasting, and kind.

—  with hips swaying, hearts wide open, and sun kissing every curve.
Welcome to MARRAKESH

A collection inspired by all the sustainability senses… it seduces.

Two Years. Lots of Drama (The Good Kind)
Commitment is an understatement. The Marrakesh Collection was a slow burn with 2 years of dreaming, designing, scrapping, and starting again. Because we’re picky. And we like luxe. The vision that unfolded slowly and intentionally over the 2 years is that we wanted to do things different this time.

First came the fabric search. 

We needed something thicker than what we had used before (because let’s be honest, nobody has time for cheap quality anymore) more luxurious and supportive, yet still soft and kind to the skin. It had to be sustainable, because our values are non-negotiable. After endless try-ons, research, trial, and testing, we found a beautiful eco-friendly microfiber, made from a polyamide and elastane blend that incorporates Amni Soul Eco®️ fiber, the world’s first biodegradable polyamide.

Unlike traditional synthetic materials that can take decades to decompose, this fabric breaks down within approximately three years when disposed of in landfills—an incredible innovation that brings sustainability to the forefront of swimwear.

But the beauty of this fabric doesn’t end there. It also provides UV Protection 80 Stretch + Wet, meaning you’re shielded from harmful rays even when the material is wet or stretched. It’s a fabric that performs, protects, and respects the planet. 
But importantly for us, we met the one: a buttery-soft, eco-friendly microfiber that feels like a second skin. 


We want you to feel free. Wild in your swimsuit.

Like you’ve got stories to tell and spice in your veins. So even when you’re beached, glowing, and reading that novel in the sand, you’re instantly in vacation mode when you slip in MARRAKESH. 

This wasn’t just another drop. 

More than anything, we wanted each piece to feel like a keepsake from a soul-stirring adventure, one that encourages you to chase sunsets, follow your instincts, and wear your spirit as confidently as your swimwear.

This was us saying, ‘what if a swimsuit could feel like Marrakesh?’ 

We wanted to bottle that blend of adventure, elegance, and soul into a collection that would be both luxurious and grounded, powerful and poetic.

Every stitch was a love letter to the colors, culture, and chaos of Morocco.

We obsessed over the fabric (it hugs like a lover and breathes like a yogi), made sure the fits flatter every curve, and added just enough handmade details like our iconic SL classic ruching, striking diamond straps, our sophisticated knots everywhere, lace ties in the right places, intricate crochets in the perfect places adding dimension.  

To make it clear…   MARRAKESH was going to be special.


Bringing Back the Reversible Magic (Because Why Be One Thing?)

If you know us, you know reversible swimwear is part of our DNA. But in recent years, we stepped away from it after hearing that some people preferred clean lines—either solid or print, with no peek-through. And now we’ve become iconic for this. 
But… we missed our reversible roots. So we brought them back, and leveled up. With the MARRAKESH collection, we felt it was time to bring it back, in a way that truly elevated the concept unseen in the industry.

It’s two bikinis in one.

Every piece gives you two full vibes:

  • One side? Bold Moroccan-inspired prints—think zellige tiles, desert heat, and spice-market moods.
  • Flip it? Hello rich, dreamy solids.

It’s like getting two bikinis for the price of one. and that angel is the kind of math we love.

Each piece in the Marrakesh Collection offers two full, distinct looks: one bold print inspired by Moroccan tilework, desert landscapes, or spice-drenched souks, and one solid color drawn from the deep palette of the regions. 

Thoughtfully designed to be as versatile and dynamic as the angel who wears it. Your SL piece moves with you, effortlessly adapting to the mood, the moment, and the magic.

Marrakesh Hits Different

It’s in the details, hand-done knots, dimensional crochet touches, color prints that tell stories, and an eco footprint that doesn't play small. 

This is for the ones who live big. It’s for the desert blooms and the moonlight movers. The bold, the soft, the soulful and yes, the cheeky.

This is a collection for the traveling jewel—the desert flower who drinks in culture, dances barefoot under desert moons, and lives in the in-between of fantasy and reality. The angel who turns every experience into a memory, and every memory into magic.

Color Me Obsessed

Each shade? A whole day of adventure..

  • Desert Night – Deep black like the velvet sky over the Sahara. That deep black sky that says, “Let’s walk with the stars.”
  • Sapphire Souk – The vivid blues of ancient tiles and cool waters. Spicy blues that feel cool against your skin.
  • Esmeralda – A hidden pool of serenity in the golden dunes. A secret lush adventure.
  • Amethyst – The richness of wine and blooming desert roses. Sipping in burgundy under a desert moon.
  • Sahara Dune – A mustard mirage of shifting sands. Golden hour forever.
  • Zellige Zephyr – A duck egg blue drawn from iconic mosaic art. Cool, calm, and collected, yet unpredictable.
  • Moroccan Tiled – A delicate blend of stone greys and soft whites. A mood board of stone, spice, and soul.
  • Marrakech Garden – A symphony of red, burgundy, and mustard floral patterns, echoing the legendary Majorelle Garden. Florals, but with attitude.

Each print and palette was chosen to evoke a feeling; whether it's calm and mystery, energy and heat, or peace and introspection. We studied zellige tiles, handwoven rugs, and sunset skies to draw out the color stories that would move through this line

like poetry. It was important that no detail felt rushed or random. 
Only the best colour ways were selected to go with every skin tone and shade. Each palette tells a story. Each one makes you feel something. It wasn't just a color to us, it was a vibe.

The Heart of It All

The Marrakesh Collection was made to be different. It was our permission slip to dare to dream of something bigger and better than we had before. And we couldn’t be more proud to be at the forefront of sustainable swimwear. What we did was something that hadn’t been fully explored before. 

  • Handcrafted by local artisans using traditional methods
  • high quality stitching to ensure longevity,
  • designs that sculpt, move fluidly and sit seamlessly on every body shape,
  • colors/prints that lift every skin tone under the golden sun,
  • the reversibility of day/night/ 2 kinis in 1,
  • and the hardest was combining all this into a feeling of instant MARRAKESH mode. 

We did that. So now we give you the permission slip to explore, flirt with life, unwind, and just be. Slip into MARRAKESH. It’s a passport. A mood. A cheeky little reminder that your spirit was made to wander, wonder, and look cheeky good while doing it.
