At SHAPES IN THE SAND, we're committed to keeping production as local as possible. That’s why we collaborate with Publisher Textiles, a Sydney-based screen-printing studio known for its artisanal, hand-printed fabrics. Specialising in traditional screen-printing techniques, Publisher Textiles creates unique, high-quality designs with a focus on small production runs to reduce waste. Their commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with our values.

For the past ten years, SHAPES IN THE SAND has partnered with local printing partner Sublitech, utilising their sublimation printing technology to achieve high-quality colour fastness in their swimwear designs. This process, which requires no water or harsh chemicals, aligns with the brand’s dedication to sustainability. Through this partnership, Shapes in the Sand has ensured vibrant, long-lasting colours in our products while maintaining a strong commitment to local craftsmanship and eco-friendly practices. This collaboration has been crucial in delivering both exceptional quality and environmental responsibility.
