Our Story
Our mission at Phins is to create comfortable and sustainable swimwear for every body.
We grew frustrated with uncomfortable and irritating swim shorts - so decided to do something about it. We set to work on designing the world's most comfortable trunks and so Phins was born.
Using high quality fabrics from recycled plastic bottles, we have been able to achieve our goal, while protecting the planet at the same time.
Today, we're a growing company based in London and Sydney with sustainability and comfort at the heart of everything we do.
Phins and Sustainability
Our Commitment
Phins has grown out of a passion for the ocean and beaches. So we maintain a commitment in our work to protect the places we love.
This is why every decision we make - from the materials we use to the manufacturers we partner with - considers the impact on the planet.
Our Fabrics
This is why all Phins shorts are made using Repreve recycled polyester or Econyl recycled nylon.
These fabrics are two of the highest quality recycled swimwear materials currently produced and ensure Phins are of the quality our customers expect.
These fabrics offer the same great performance, durability and comfort, while protecting the planet at the same time.
Our Factories
We carry this commitment throughout our supply chain. This is why we only partner with manufacturers with exemplary ethical and human rights records.
All our manufacturers follow the WFTO's 10 Principles and abide by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
We regularly review our partners to ensure every member of the Phins family is treated fairly and ethically.
The Magic of Phins
No More Mesh
Our unique swimwear lining sets Phins apart. We have designed an ultra-thin, lightweight and quick drying inner layer which maximises breathability and support.
It feels like a second skin under your trunks and ensures against any unwanted chaffing and irritation.
Feel Good Fabric
We use only the highest quality materials to guarantee every pair of Phins feel great.
Phins feel soft to the touch to ensure you are as comfortable as possible, while also including four way stretch technology, making Phins practical for a range of activities. Whether you use your Phins to swim, run or chill out, you can rest assured you will do so in comfort.
Every Last Detail
We make sure to consider every detail to give you the best experience and maximise your comfort.
Steel eyelets are featured on the back of the trunks to stop water getting trapped and the short ballooning. All fabrics are treated to reduce oil and suncream damage and are UV resistant. We have left no stone unturned in making Phins the best shorts possible.
