ABOUT

Solémar is a new slow fashion surf apparel brand specializing in handmade and upcycled garments and goods based out of Wilmington, NC.

The idea of Solémar was born from my love of the sun and the sea– hence the name, which fuses the spanish words “sol” (sun) and “mar” (sea). I wanted to create garments and goods that embody the natural energy of the sun and sea, offering simple, yet energetic pieces that are made from preloved materials for everyday wear.

At Solémar, our garments are exclusively made from upcycled, second-hand materials, giving new life to fabrics that might otherwise go to waste. This approach not only reduces textile waste but also ensures that each piece we create is truly unique and slow made.

Almost all of our pieces at Solémar are one of a kind, or one of a few, aligning with our commitment to slow fashion. We prioritize sourcing naturally occurring fibers such as cotton or linen for all of our handmade garments and goods.

A core mission at Solémar is to educate our community about the importance of slow fashion, and what it means to shop ethically from a slow fashion brand. Every garment is meticulously sourced, designed, and handcrafted by me, Barb.
