Project Overview
THE CHALLENGE
Thanda Island, one of the world’s most exclusive getaways off the coast of East Africa, sought a partner that could deliver high-quality apparel aligned with their commitment to sustainability. With their location situated in a marine reserve, it was essential for their uniforms to reflect their values of conservation and environmental responsibility. The Thanda team required unique, durable designs fit for working in salty waters and under the hot sun.
OUR SOLUTION
OCEANR collaborated with Thanda Island to create a custom collection of uniforms and retail products that aligned with their high standards for quality and sustainability. Each design was carefully tailored to reflect the island’s tropical beauty and commitment to the environment.
