Sustainable Fashion
At Berry Jane™, we are committed to creating sustainably made and eco-friendly products. Our mission is to provide women with high-quality swimwear that is both stylish and environmentally conscious, while promoting sustainable practices throughout our supply chain.
We believe in the importance of not only using eco-friendly fabrics, such as recycled materials and organic cotton, to reduce our environmental impact, but manufacturing less to avoid waste. That is why 90% of our garments are made when our customers order. We are dedicated to sourcing our materials locally whenever possible, supporting our local communities and reducing transportation emissions.
In addition, we are committed to manufacturing our products using nearshore facilities in N. and S. America and USA. By doing so, we aim to support more American manufacturing and reduce our carbon footprint.
Our goal is to empower women to feel confident and comfortable in their swimwear while making a positive impact on the environment. We will continue to innovate and improve our practices to ensure that we are always contributing to a more sustainable future.

About Our Logo
Our *Berry Jane™ logo was created as an upside-down triangle with 6 circles. What does it mean?
- Circles: The circle symbol meaning is universal, sacred and divine. It represents the infinite nature of energy and the inclusivity of the universe. (Yes, it also looks like berries!)
- Upside Down Triangle: The upside down triangle is female, lunar, symbolizing feminine or Mother.
- The Number 6: Six is connected with balance, responsibility, and love. Life Path Number 6 has a lot of energy of service in it. It holds the harmony between the macrocosms and microcosms. The 6 life path number is "love toward others in order to exist for others."
