The fashion industry has long been criticized for its environmental toll, yet Adicora Swimwear demonstrates that style and sustainability coexist. Their manufacturing process already boasts a smaller carbon footprint than fast fashion, and the Scrunchie Initiative takes it further by achieving near-zero fabric waste. Each accessory tells a story, crafted from high-quality materials and designed to reflect Adicora’s core values of empowerment, creativity, and ethical production. These efforts shine a light on the potential for the industry to rethink its approach to waste and embrace innovative solutions.
Adicora Swimwear commits a portion of proceeds generated by each scrunchie’s purchase to aid their mission to restore hope and joy through a trustful and successful partnership with Todo Por La Sonrisa De Un Niño, which exemplifies how fashion can extend its reach beyond the runway. Led by the inspiring Alexandra Mora, the foundation enriches children’s lives with access to food, education, clothing, and cultural experiences, offering a chance to simply enjoy the freedom of being kids.
The Todo Por La Sonrisa De Un Niño founder, Alexandra Mora, says:
"We are happy to partner with Adicora Swimwear in this project, our main goal is to bring happiness and nutrition to all of our kids. As well as nutrition, also clothes, education, and of course, toys."

The scrunchies themselves bring tangible joy, as seen in the smiles of children receiving them, knowing the impact extends to restoring playgrounds and providing meals.
Adicora Swimwear’s collaboration with this organization transforms its stylish accessories into symbols of hope, paving the way for a new era in which fashion not only defines trends but shapes a brighter, more sustainable future.

The Adicora founder, Niveen Carrero, says:
"The reason why I went with this charity is because a close friend of mine introduced me to this foundation and I thought it was incredible what they were doing and their goals for these kids. I knew I wanted to help them and this was a great way to do so."

An Invitation to Innovate

The fashion industry faces a staggering challenge: an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste are generated annually, posing a severe threat to the environment. This waste often ends up in landfills, releasing harmful greenhouse gases as it decomposes, or is incinerated, contributing to air pollution. The rapid turnover of fast fashion, combined with unsustainable production and consumption practices, exacerbates the issue.
Addressing this crisis requires a collective effort—embracing circular fashion models, promoting upcycling initiatives, and fostering consumer awareness to prioritize quality and longevity over disposability. By redefining waste as a resource and innovating sustainable practices, the industry can shift toward a more responsible and regenerative future, reducing its environmental footprint while preserving style and creativity.
Adicora’s Scrunchie Initiative is more than a product line; it’s a movement, a call to action for brands to reimagine their roles in a world demanding accountability. By upcycling fabric scraps into stylish, purposeful accessories, the initiative demonstrates that sustainability and luxury can coexist.
The brand invites others to explore creative solutions to textile waste, proving that even small changes can create transformation ripples and inspire a broader shift toward responsible innovation in fashion.

A message about the initiative from Niveen Carrero:
“All of the material that we use for these scrunchies are from leftover scraps from our swimwear, we throw nothing away, all of it is converted into these scrunchies which minimizes our textile waste to almost none.
Our production already has a very low carbon footprint, as well our talented artisans who hand make our swimwear and these scrunchies share our values which makes this a great production.
These artisans are paid fair wages and this opportunity that is given to single mothers helps them look over their families and ensures their future. Adicora's production truly upholds our values from start to finish.”
Through this endeavor, Adicora Swimwear transcends the traditional boundaries of fashion, inspiring a cultural shift that prioritizes sustainability, ethical craftsmanship, and community impact.
By turning excess materials into meaningful products, the brand highlights the power of creativity in addressing global challenges like textile waste.
At its core, this initiative champions the idea that fashion can be both beautiful and responsible, encouraging other brands and consumers alike to embrace choices that benefit both people and the planet.

Niveen Carrero on partnering with Todo Por La Sonrisa De Un Niño:
“It has been an incredible experience working with them. This foundation is not very well known but their drive to do so much for their community is what drew us to them.
It’s definitely a foundation that has low resources and needs help for funding, this is why we stepped in and offered to support them.
Our recent donation to Todo Por La Sonrisa was to fix a broken down park nearby that the children like to play at. As well, money was donated to help provide meals for the kids. Overall, we are honored to be able to help this organization reach their goals and help their community.”
