Choosing a swimwear for your daughter isn’t just about colors and prints—it’s about safety, durability, and doing right by the planet. At Pepita&Me, we believe every swimwear should protect your child’s skin, last beyond one summer, and tell a story worth wearing.
Let’s explore why more and more conscious parents across the U.S. are choosing our recycled UPF 50+ Swimwear for their girls—and what makes this choice one that truly lasts.
Maximum Protection — What UPF 50+ Really Means
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is not just a label—it’s your first defense against harmful UV rays. Our Swimwear is designed with UPF 50+ protection, which blocks more than 98% of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. This is especially important for young, sensitive skin during long days at the beach or by the pool.
≈98% UV blockedUnlike sunscreen, UPF protection doesn’t wear off with water or sweat. It’s built into the fabric, so your child stays protected even after hours of play.
Shop coverage your kid will actually wear:
Made to move, splash, and last.
Why Recycled Materials Matter
Pepita&Me swimwear uses recycled polyester (rPET), predominantly sourced from post-consumer PET bottles and other plastic packaging.
Choosing recycled polyester:
- ✓Shifts demand away from virgin, fossil-based polyester and supports the industry transition led by Textile Exchange with the UNFCCC’s Fashion Industry Charter.
- ✓Is associated with significantly lower greenhouse-gas emissions vs. virgin polyester (mechanically recycled polyester can reduce GHG emissions by ~70% per kilogram).
- ✓Aligns with the 2025 target to increase recycled polyester’s share from ~14–15% to 45% in fashion.
Durability That Fits Real Family Life
Our suits are made for play. Fabrics and construction are chosen to keep their look and feel with proper care—rinse after use, dry in the shade, and they’ll be ready for the next adventure.
Quick care tips for longer wear
Rinse after swim: Remove salt/chlorine to protect fibers.
Shade dry: Preserve color saturation and elasticity.
Designed to Inspire Girls’ Confidence and Creativity
Every Pepita&Me print tells a story—magical forests, colorful sea creatures, bold, adventurous girls. Our patterns are made to spark joy and self-expression so kids feel as amazing as they look.
It’s the little things that matter when kids are active for hours: smooth seams, adjustable details on select styles, and soft, stretchy fabrics that move with every splash and sprint.
