Coast Radar Clothing – coastwear made the right way
At Coast Radar we want people to enjoy the coast but we are also aware that our coast and oceans need protection. We are alarmed by the damage that fast fashion leaves behind where 60% of clothing includes plastic, 40% of clothing made are never worn and 99% are never recycled. Using natural, organic materials, renewable energy and sustainable packaging is part of the solution and this became the foundation of our coastwear at Coast Radar Clothing.
