The story
About Davy J
Owner · Women-owned (Helen Lofts)
Davy J sells women's swimsuits and bikinis made from 100% regenerated ECONYL nylon spun from discarded fishing nets, carpet fluff and textile offcuts. Founded in South Devon by Helen Lofts, the label carries the Positive Luxury Butterfly Mark and works with a mill that runs on renewable energy, recycles 83% of its water and reuses 99% of production waste. Davy J also makes bonded cold-water swimsuits from two layers of recycled nylon and a biodegradable Zero Trace suit, building the brand around circular design.

How Davy J compares across published ratings
Wear it longer
Work out the real cost per wear
Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.
£0.00 per wear
Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
