Hello!
We are Inês and Catarina and paperboat.pt is a 100% Portuguese brand that emerged in May 2019, from an old dream, driven by our daughters, who were always asking for different swimwear than their friends.
What started out as a joke quickly became a passion.
From the beginning, we took the foundations that architecture brought us, in our taste for fashion, in the interests of our children and in the principles of quality, environmental, sustainability, and fair trade, in which we believe so much, we mixed everything and created a lot of more than a unique and differentiating product, we have created a family in which all customers and partners are part.
OUR PRICIPLES
The models, colors and patterns are designed by our design team, but the pieces are only produced after our children´s approval.
All the fabrics are made from recycled polyester from plastic bottles caught in the ocean and the swimming trunks hare quick drying treatment.
We make a point of supporting national production, so all our partner’s and materials are Portuguese and we have manual confection.
We do not use plastic and each piece is delivered in a cotton bag.
The leftovers fabrics from past collections are used for the #desperdiciozero movement, where we create smaller pieces, such as skating covers.
