The Seea is a woman-owned brand, founded by Amanda Chinchelli.

Seea makes small batch, locally produced swim suits designed for female surfers. Its address is in San Clemente, California. The brand says 80% of its current collection uses recycled materials. It uses Yulex, a plant based rubber material, instead of neoprene.

The Seea makes surf and swimwear from recycled synthetics rather than natural plant fibre. Its swim fabrics are recycled nylon or polyester with spandex, for example a Canaria one-piece of 95% recycled nylon and 5% spandex, its recycled polyester comes from post-consumer plastic bottles, and it says 80% of its current collection uses recycled materials.

Its wetsuits use plant-based Yulex rubber.

The Seea has been neoprene free since 2018, replacing petroleum based neoprene across its entire wetsuit range with plant based Yulex natural rubber that is harvested from Forest Stewardship Council certified hevea trees and is reported to create up to 80 percent fewer carbon emissions than conventional neoprene.

The Seea manufactures its swimwear and apparel in a solar powered factory, states that around 80 percent of its collection is now made from recycled fabric, rescues deadstock fabric that would otherwise go to landfill, and lines its suits with recycled polyester bonded using solvent free adhesives.
