88% Repreve® RPET (recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles), 12% spandex
Safe, premium performance yarns: Our high-quality, fully traceable yarns are sourced through sustainable partners in the U.S. These materials meet rigorous chemical safety standards and are independently verified for over 1,000 harmful substances like BPA and PFAS through OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification.
High-quality, responsible printing: Our products are printed using heat transfer sublimation, a printing technique that is widely considered to be the safest for both workers and the environment. It requires no water, eliminates dye from entering water systems, and minimizes ink and fabric waste. All the inks and dyes we use are also OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
Recycled materials, minimal waste: Our commitment to environmental responsibility starts with sustainable fibers and yarns. We use synthetic yarns made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps remove and repurpose existing plastic.

5% of sales will be donated to The 1000 Mermaids Artificial Reef Project, led by Ocean Rescue Alliance International (ORAI), a non-profit organization restoring marine ecosystems through science, art, and community engagement.
Mermaids have long been a symbol of humans’ curiosity and connection to the sea, igniting our imagination for centuries. Just as they represent the union of two disparate worlds, the 1000 Mermaids Artificial Reef Project is bridging art and science to restore reef habitats through a monumental living underwater art installation.
Orders are lovingly packaged using minimal packaging and eco-responsible materials, and shipped from our wonderful partner warehouse in Pennsylvania within the same or next business day. We’ll email you with your tracking info as soon as your order is shipped.

Restoring reef habitat through artificial reefs is essential because coral reefs are rapidly declining due to warming oceans, pollution, and coastal development. Artificial reefs provide new surfaces for corals and marine life to settle, helping rebuild biodiversity and strengthen coastal ecosystems. They also relieve pressure on natural reefs by creating additional habitat where it’s needed most.
Ocean Rescue Alliance International’s 1000 Mermaids Artificial Reef Project takes this restoration a step further by combining marine science with art. They deploy sculpted reef modules, many cast from real people, that are engineered to support coral growth and marine life, creating reef habitat and engaging communities.
The 1000 Mermaids Artificial Reef Project is a large-scale public art and marine conservation initiative. Ocean Rescue Alliance International combines ocean science, art, and community engagement by deploying artificial reef sculptures with the goal of reaching 1000 mermaids that not only serve as living art installations but also provide vital habitat for marine life. Each sculpture is designed from marine-safe materials that encourage coral attachment and reef growth, transforming barren sea bottoms into thriving ecosystems.
