There was a time when Andres Sarda was known as a cutting-edge, uber modern swimwear and lingerie brand, known for enormous technical innovation in fabrics and garment construction techniques.

There’s no mention of the word ‘sustainability’ on the Andre Sarda website. AOC expects that Andres Sarda would be at the forefront of sustainable fabric innovation and modern design. Why pay$250 for a lingerie set or swimsuit that does nothing for the environment when there are excellent options out there.
