I am of the Pacific. 🤍🐚​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I was born and raised on the main island of Tahiti. Growing up on an island shapes you. Nature is omnipresent and revered. Children spend hours in the sun, in the salt water and climbing trees. Life is simple. Yet, this simple life is now a luxury in an over stimulated world.​​​​​​​​ In the islands, connection is key. Connection with people, with nature with elements. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ This shaped my mind and created our ethos.​​​​​​​​ My dream vision of a company: 'Produce less, produce well.'​​​​​​​​ I also strongly believe that in a world where everything is instant, transparency is key. In a world where knowledge is power, education is a priority.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I made a conscious choice.​​​​​​​​ I decided to create a brand that embodied my beliefs.​​​​​​​​ Abysse was born out of a desire and dream to create a brand whose main purpose was to align women with ideals of function and sustainable fashion. After becoming a surfer, a model and traveling the four corners of the world throughout my teenage years, I yearned to create something of substance. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Being a conscious manufacturer means to take back power and support what we stand for, in a an ever growing fast fashion industry.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Hanalei @hanaleireponty our founder wearing the Jenna bikini made out of Japanese limestone based ecoprene.​​​​​​​​ shot for @black_mag by @jessiealeece
