About The Seea

Owner · Amanda Chinchelli (founder)

The Seea states that all its products are made within a 70-mile radius of its headquarters in San Clemente, California, keeping cut-and-sew local. The Seea discloses fabric origins by country, including Econyl regenerated nylon made in Italy, recycled polyester, textured recycled fabrics from France, Canada, Brazil and China, C-Skin made in Taiwan and printed in the USA, and upcycled terrycloth made in Portugal with Recover. The Seea uses FSC-certified Yulex natural rubber for wetsuits and solvent-free, solar-powered production for linings. The Seea does not publish a named factory or mill list and cites no Bluesign or OEKO-TEX certifications.

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.
