OUR Story
Ocean Mimic started back in 2018 as a clean up charity and sustainable swimwear brand. Born out of a wish to end plastic pollution through a galvanised community of water women.
Today Ocean Mimic has transformed into a platform with one single aim – to protect our oceans. Ocean Mimic no longer sells swimwear and no longer has its own charity. It is simply a platform to unite the ocean community and amplify ocean voices.
There are no sales to make, no donations to raise and no hidden agenda.
If you are trying to make the oceans a better place and you think we can help – please get in touch.
Our TEAM
Emma is a girl with a love for the ocean. She realised from a young age that she wanted to educate people in a creative way to inspire them to protect our oceans.
Emma drives Ocean Mimic along with her creativity, passion and a radical optimism! ‘It all starts with you’, is the motto of Ocean Mimic. Here’s what Emma has to say about it:
“I think that the world would be a very different place if everyone actually believed that they could make a difference. After all, that’s how Ocean Mimic began. I am no one special, I have no extraordinary skills, I just believed that I could do something to help and I put my heart into it.”
