AS beach shirt button OG black

our beach shirt made from the finest bamboo satin. with buttons made from the corozo nut also known as vegetable ivory. the shirt has an inside breastpocket for your phone or wallet preventing contents from falling out when you bend over.

bamboo has anti-bacterial properties, so you can sweat in our shirts without any odor. we prefer bamboo over eco-cotton because cultivation uses less water, regeneration is faster and it can be grown on rugged terrain not suitable for any other crop.

Arctic seas is the sustainable swimwear label from Franky Cleas, the founder and designer of the brand. Franky was convinced that style and sustainability don't have to be at odds. This is why he produces luxury designer swimwear. Every capsule that arctic seas creates is inspired by an environmental story. Such as the plastic ocean collection. This collection is made from recycled plastic from ocean clean-up projects, and the print on the swimwear is inspired by sea trash. Every capsule from arctic seas combines the story of the materials, and the environmental problem, with the design, creating beautiful and unique pieces.
