About Us
Hi! Tarryn here,
Owner and designer of Merci Surf.
We are a small family-run business located in sunny West Palm Beach, Florida. Committed to making fashion without harming our beautiful blue planet or the people who live on it.
When buying swimwear I always ask myself 3 questions:
1. Is it ethical?
2. Is it environmentally friendly?
3. Can I surf in it without flashing the fish?
Surprisingly, such swimwear was not so easy to find, so I created Merci Surf with the goal of always ticking those boxes and a hope to play a part in steering fashion towards this new horizon.
Come on this journey with us, the water's great!
Social & Environmental Responsibility
Social Responsibility: Merci Surf is committed to being 100% sweat shop free. Our products are produced in factories that undergo independent auditing, ensuring staff have safe working conditions and are being paid a fair wage.
Environmental Responsibility: Merci Surf was created with sustainability in mind. All of our products are made using sustainable materials, either entirely or partially. We're about the whole package here and that includes our packaging; Which is always: biodegradable, made of post consumer recycled materials, or recyclable.
Slow fashion: The industry standard is to have a large inventory of clothing and throw out last season's lines, this leads to a large percentage of the world's clothing ending up in landfills without ever being worn. We stand against such waste by producing our products in small batches, and select products are made to order, where we don't start cutting andsewing until your order is placed. This allows us to produce high quality clothing with the planet and people in mind. For more information on how our products are made please refer to the individual product descriptions.
