Teenie Weenie (Eco) Bikinis: Meadow
Meadow’s Sparkle Braided Bikini ($80)
Meadow? Yes, that’s her real name. This eco-designer splits her time between Miami’s urban jungle and Costa Rica’s actual jungle, and her boho-chic bikinis reflect both influences.
All the pieces in the Meadow line are sewn in Miami from sustainable materials like bamboo, soy, organic cotton and upcycled fabrics. And all are swoon-worthy.
Take, for instance, the lovely, lavender Sparkle Braided Bikini with its sassy straps, sash tie and subtle shimmer. Made from upcycled polyester, the color is pretty much perfect on fair skin and deep tans alike. And the fit? Fantastic for a variety of shapes and sizes, as well—i.e. you don’t have to look like this ridiculously hot model to look ridiculously hot in this suit.
But we digress. Meadow also directs a portion of its profits to nonprofit organizations that plant trees in Costa Rica and Miami: Trees that reduce ozone, regulate carbon dioxide and give off life-sustaining oxygen, not to mention offer a perfect, private shady spot to snuggle with your sweetie, while your bikini hangs up to dry.
