What if I can't decide between two styles/prints/sizes?

If you can't decide on one item, it is of course no problem to order several variants. You can return what you do not want to keep. However, we encourage you to think carefully before you order to take into account the CO2 emissions and the extra work for us and the carriers to send it back and forth. But we are sure you will make a wise decision.

What are your products made of?

Our swim- and sportswear is made 81% recycled polyester 19% elastane. 

What is special about the fabric you use?

Our fabric consists of sustainably sourced fibers, recycled from waste. Additionally the composition of our fabric makes it very durable and resistant to salt water, sunscreen, chlorine and UV light.

What is the best way to wash your items?

To enjoy your swim- or sportswear for the longest possible time, we recommend hand washing it with cold water and without detergent.

However, if you do wish to wash it with detergent, we advise you to use a mild and eco-friendly product. Washing our items in the washing machine is also possible, but it is best to do so on a gentle setting. Additionally we advise the use of a anti-microplastic washing bag. You can find a great and trustworthy washing bag by guppy friend in our shop

Sustainability & Manufacturing

Where are your items produced?

We team up with a small studio in Hefei, China where we have our items produced under fair conditions and SA80001 Standard.

How do you assure fair working conditions?

Since the studio we work together with doesn´t have a huge amount of workers (around 15), it is easier to take care of and to provide for every one of them. Each worker has a face and a voice, too. The studio pays a wage higher than the average in the area and has reasonable working hours. Lunchtime is important, just as finishing time is. Aditionally boochens founder Jing - from China herself - is able to assure a smoothe comunication, skipping the language barrier.

What certificated have you recieved considering your social and ecological sustainability?

We were in the 2020 selection for the green product award.In 2021 we were in the running for Europes most renowned Award in the area of sustainability the "Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis" in the cathegory design.

Our fabrics are under global recycle standard 4.0 certificated and our partner manufacture is SA80001 certificated.

How do you assure sustainable packaging?

We use acid-free paper for our packages such as gift paper and hygienic stickers, printed with soy-based inks.

Our ziplock bag is made from a combination of PBAT, a bio-based polymer that is compostable, and PLA which is made up of plant materials such as regular field corn and wheat straw. Which can be reused many times and suitable for composting even at home.

In ambition to further reduce our environmental impact we introduced the REUSE campaign in 2020 where we reuse the cardbord boxes that you send back to us with your returns or exchanges.

Are your products vegan?

Yes, all boochen products are vegan.

About boochen

Where is the boochen headquarter?

Our studio is based in Hanover, Germany. This is the home of the boochen team and the city where Jing, the founder of boochen did her degree in fashion design. Haven't been to Hanover? we think it's worth a visit!

What is boochens philosophy?

"boo" is short for blue ocean obsessed. That describes us pretty well! Ocean lovers through and through. The end of the word -chen is a german word ending used to describe something or someone cute and lovely. Combining these terms summs up our core values in one word "boochen"! A design philosphy that creates something that is not only good for the people wearing it, but also good for the planet.
