This summer we have teamed up with the Marbella Club with a LOVE BRAND & Co. exclusive print highlighting the importance of the local environment, raising awareness for the Seahorse conservation in the Mediterranean.
The print consists of seahorses facing each other making a heart shape with in Andalusian Blue, and is available in our recycled swimming trunks, and light linens for the whole family.
The seahorse rewilding project by The Marbella Club is a four-year long activity in partnership with Aula del Mar (meaning Classroom of the Sea) which aims to increase awareness around the urgent need to conserve seahorses, and their carbon sequestering seagrass meadow habitats.
There are talks and training courses offered to those in the education, tourism, fishing and maritime sectors to keep the discussion flowing. Within the Marbella Club premises there are seahorse conservation nurseries, and a host of interactive activities, games and tasks for people to learn about these sea creatures and their importance.
Our seahorse love affair does not stop there. The exclusive print of seahorses forming hearts can also be found on cushions around the hotel at the MC beach club.
Oliver Tomalin, Co-founder, CEO and designer at LOVE BRAND & Co explains "Rose and I are so excited to see our LOVE BRAND & Co. prints break free of the boutique. Now our idea of keeping endangered wildlife on peoples agenda through printed beachwear has been turbo charged by placing our prints at numerous experiential touch points around the property."
We also sat down with Marbella Club owner, Jennica Arazi who tells us "Sustainability for me boils down to an essential respect for our planet and fellow humanity. A basic instinct and common sense that should be innate in all of us. These core values fuel my ethos in life and are what I chose to show my children and our extended Marbella Club family. Sustainability starts from within so if we want to have any chance of making a positive change in the world we need to look inwards first, then reconnect with our communities, nature and the wider world."
For Jennica, the idea of a perfect holiday looks something like this... "A long weekend escape to Tarifa with my family. Just down the coast from Marbella where the Mediterranean waters meet the Atlantic lies a little wild paradise and an incredible place to disconnect and get back to nature."
