Salte Designs is an eco-friendly Australian lifestyle brand with a mission to celebrate the sunshine seeking sisters of the earth through beautifully hand-crafted swimwear and clothing pieces. Every design is a representation of our sustainable vision to bring confidence to all women and inspire a sense of freedom and wild adventure. 

Operating out of a small studio in Currumbin on the Gold Coast,

Owner and creative director Sharna Hupfeld is an old soul at heart with a love for the sand & sea, groovy vibes and authentic self-expression - especially through fashion. When not preparing your unique Salte gifts, she can often be found wandering barefoot through local thrift stores on an endless search for vintage treasures and textile inspirations.

Sustainability

As part of their commitment to sustainability Salté Designs: 

• Swimwear is now made from recycled plastic. 
• Discourage ‘fast fashion’ by focusing on small production runs of well made, lasting pieces to encourage women to buy quality rather than quantity.
• Use compostable garment bags and mailing satchels.
• Ship plastic free parcels.
• Recycle, or reuse any plastic sent to them during production. 
• Support small suppliers.

They work closely to their makers in both China & Indonesia for several years. Their beautiful sewers are paid above the minimum wage and their working environments are safe and clean. They are free to work from home so they can be with their friends and family. 

Salté will always be on the look out for sustainable fabrics and printing options, while still creating high quality garments.
