Bondi Bandits
Amy and Annie, Bondi girls and surfers, founded Bondi Bandits when they realized that there was a massive gap in the market for unisex, eco-friendly, kids surf clothing. The company produces rashies made out of discarded and recycled fishing nets that can be worn by both boys and girls (not the typical blue and pink ones they saw everywhere) and recyclable swim bags.
Amy and Annie also believe in empowering girls in all ways, be it in the surf or in everyday life. They believe that Bondi Bandits can help to make a community to support women all around the world. They are passionate to support women through education and encourage independent, strong women of the future. That is why they support Free to Shine, a charity fighting to put Cambodian girls in schools, and out of brothels. With every purchase you make you’re supporting them too.
Based: Sydney, Australia.
Ships to: Worldwide.
Products: Kids rashie vests made from recycled fishing nets, recyclable splash bags - used for your wet swimmers, keeping things dry and sand free at the beach, packing your leaky travel accessories in or even as baby bags and neoprene bags perfect for the beach or used as reusable shopping bags.
Mission: To produce sustainable beach wear which is both kind to the planet and gives back. Each splash bag we sell gives back 100 days of clean drinking water to a family in need in Cambodia through our partner charity, Free to Shine.
Vision: We believe in creating a community of strong, courageous kids who are educated on making conscious choices. We want to empower future generations and encourage them to do good things by leading as an example, hence our hashtag #surfbyexample. We want to help at risk communities in Cambodia and enable as many kids as possible to go to school. We want to minimize plastic use on our planet, we think about every point of our production process and do the best we can, including the use of recyclable packaging and ocean friendly ink on our swimwear.
