Blumma is an independent project that creates soft lingerie and swimwear made for everyday comfort, pleasure, and self-care. We believe that natural beauty comes from self-love.
Beliefs
The person behind this project is Julia Camoletto. She is graduated from LCI in Barcelona and specialized in Industrial Pattern Making and Sizing of Corsetery and Swimwear and Elastic Sportwear.
"As a child, I remember the moment when my grandmother and I went to buy fabrics to make the dress that we had previously designed together. I remember the box of pins, the tangled threads, the centimeter with the numbers almost erased.
The colors, the textures and the possibility of being the one to choose my own garment gave me a lot of self-confidence.
That feeling will always remain in my memories. Little by little, I began to sew my own clothes, to participate in workshops, to dedicate more time to my hobby until the day I decided to study it.
As a result of this, Blumma was born, filling my heart with happiness."
Julia.
Author´s pieces
Nature-friendly and ethically produced
The main idea is to share our respect and admiration for nature through the choice of fabrics and the way to create these unique pieces.
For Blumma, being sustainable means reducing the environmental impact from the creation of the labels, packaging, fabrics used and the manufacturing of the products.
When we create the pieces, the first thing we think about is respecting our values in every part of the process and that every part involved share them.
Pieces are designed and created in our studio. They are produced in limited quantities and many of them on demand at the time the customer makes the purchase.
Other pieces such as swimsuits are made by local family factories in Barcelona supporting the local brand.
Being nature-friendly is our main value and that is why we choose fabrics that adhere to that principle.
Bamboo Jersey
We choose bamboo fabric to create our lingerie pieces because it is sustainable and 100% biodegradable. The plantations do not require pesticides, do not practically have natural prey. Moreover, they do not grow bamboo excessively and require little amounts of water to grow.
It is also hypoallergenic, it is a natural temperature regulator and blocks UV rays naturally, up to a 98%.
Silk
We use silk fabric to create some pieces of soft lingerie. Silk is hypoallergenic, strong, resistant and elastic by nature. It is also a natural temperature regulator. It is the perfect fabric for those people who have a sensitive skin and allergies to polyester.
Regenerated Nylon
The swimwear that we create are made with recycled plastic threads.
In order to protect marine flora and fauna, this fabric is made of recycled plastics taken from the depths of the sea and with irregular raw materials that were thrown out.
For each kg of fiber produced, one kg of plastic is removed from the ocean: 40% in water consumption, 50% of energy and 60% in CO2 emissions are saved.
Dead stock
As dead stock comes from the overproduction of big brands in the fashion industry, for us it is a sustainable alternative to reuse these textiles to create new pieces of clothes.
