    • 2025, a year that shaped us

      While putting together this Report, we realised how difficult it is to remember everything that has happened in just one year. 2025 has been intense. The kind of year that puts you to the test, but also reminds you why you do what you do. There have been highs and lows, moments of vertigo and others of real calm. We’ve celebrated achievements, welcomed new people into the team and, above all, continued building Trendsplant with purpose and with heart. CIFF, starting the year by looking outwardWe began the year travelling to CIFF, the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair, one of the most important fashion fairs in Northern Europe. A meeting point for brands, agents and stores that share a contemporary and conscious vision of fashion. Starting 2025 there was a clear statement of intent. Reconnecting with partners, presenting what we had been working on and feeling that Trendsplant continued to have a voice and a place in an international context. The DANA solidarity T-shirt with B CorpThe DANA that affected eastern Spain, especially Valencia, hit very close to home and pushed us to take action. Through the solidarity T-shirt created with B Corp, we raised €1,864.09 to support reconstruction efforts, social fabric and environmental recovery in the most affected areas.The project was carried out without any new production, using only existing stock, because helping also means being coherent and responsible with the impact we generate. Each T-shirt became a simple, collective way to contribute and get involved in a real way. New flagship in Alicante, a space that speaks about usThis year we opened our new flagship store in Alicante, designed by Estudio DIIR, an architecture studio with a sensitive approach and international recognition. Their way of understanding space, where material, light and balance take centre stage, connected immediately with our way of doing things.The space is designed to transport you directly to our Mediterranean essence. Wood, natural Bateig stone and steel come together to create an environment that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. A store that is not just walked through, but felt. A space that helps you understand who we are, what we stand for and how we work.Looking ahead to 2026, we have many ideas for what’s to come. This space is just the beginning. Collaboration with MOEA, our third sneakerThis collaboration with MOEA came together in a very organic way. The team at Shop Like You Give a Damn put us in touch, as both brands were among the best performers on their marketplace in the Netherlands, and from there the connection came naturally.Everything aligned quickly. Not only did we share a passion for fashion, but also a very similar way of understanding it. Values, vision and being part of the B Corp community. For us, that is essential when collaborating.Our third sneaker collaboration reaffirmed something we strongly believe in. Collaborations only make sense when there is a real purpose behind them.GEN1 Mushroom proposes a new way of making sneakers, without aggressive chemicals and using natural, plastic-free materials such as MushroomSkin. An honest and respectful alternative that doesn’t compromise on design or comfort.This project allowed us to continue exploring new paths in footwear while staying true to our values and proving that another way of doing things is not only possible, but necessary. The Palm, Tabarca, What Remains and ColorblockThese have been the major campaigns of the year. Four very different projects, all connected by the same way of understanding Trendsplant and telling stories rooted in who we are and what we experience.Tabarca, in particular, was our baby. Something deeply personal. We didn’t just want to show garments, we wanted to tell the story of a place. An island many of us visited as children on school trips and continue to enjoy as adults. A place with a very special energy that deserved to be told with time, care and affection.Each campaign connected us to something specific.The Palm takes us directly to palm trees and our familiar coastal landscape, where the Mediterranean sets the pace and everything feels slower.What Remains was born from a more intimate relationship with our land and the places where we work, areas painfully affected by wildfires. A reminder of what remains after fire, of resilient vegetation and the importance of protecting it.Colorblock speaks about everyday life, the constant movement of a city like Alicante, always awake, alive and full of character.Different stories, different landscapes, but the same root. Telling what surrounds us, what we feel and what connects us. Hotel del Sol with Antonyo MarestOnce again, we launched a capsule collection with Antonyo Marest. Beyond being a close friend of the brand, working with him always feels natural and organic thanks to the trust and connection we’ve built over the years.Hotel del Sol is a particularly bold proposal. It moves away from his most recognisable work to explore new influences, blending his creative universe with our Mediterranean perspective. A project born from freedom, experimentation and the desire to do something different.  Life by the Sea, the magic of Pablo BuenoThis year Life by the Sea was special for many reasons. For the first time, it didn’t come from an external artist, but from talent already within the team. That’s how Life by the Sea came to life through Pablo Bueno.Pablo is a multidisciplinary artist, something he has shown since day one at Trendsplant. His journey has been natural and progressive. He started creating videos around what he loves most, travel, nature and life on the road. But there was more. His background, his way of designing, his personal style, his magic.Today, he is part of the design team, bringing a very personal vision and huge value to everything that lies ahead.This new interpretation of Life by the Sea takes the idea of living by the sea to its most literal sense. Feeling at home, this time under a beach umbrella. Finding a place to relax and disconnect, just like you would in your living room, but with sand, salt and the sound of the sea.From here, we want to sincerely thank Pablo for his work, his energy and the freshness he brings to the team every day. European Sales Convention, bringing the family togetherFor the first time, we welcomed our representatives from France, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Germany to Alicante. They visited our offices and store, but most importantly, we shared ideas, honest feedback and quality time together. It was also the moment we presented the SS26 collection in preview, explaining first-hand the concept, processes and vision behind what’s to come.It was intense, yes, but above all emotional. Small steps that, with perspective, become major milestones. We’re excited to keep building and shaping the future of wholesale together. We remain B CorpEvery three years, we renew our B Corp certification. Not as a label, but as a real commitment. It reminds us that decisions matter and impact counts. Every step, from how we design a garment to who we work with and how we relate as a team, adds up. Being B Corp is not a destination, it’s an ongoing process of questioning, improving and staying true to who we are.   The logo turns greenChanging the colour of our logo was not an easy decision. Letting go of an identity that has accompanied you from the beginning is never simple.For years it represented us well, but over time we felt it no longer told the full story. Trendsplant has naturally evolved towards a more conscious and responsible way of doing things. First came the green label as a sustainability marker, but eventually that wasn’t enough. We needed to express that commitment in a clearer, more honest and more visible way.This new green represents that journey better than ever. Our values, our ethics and our way of understanding impact. A simple rebranding, but one deeply connected to who we are today.  Brisa01, our first home fragranceWe took another step forward by launching our first home fragrance, Brisa01.An ode to the Mediterranean. To the breeze between fig trees, summer sun and the freshness of bamboo. With a composition of 75 percent fig and 25 percent bamboo, it’s designed to slow things down and fill spaces with calm, that slow coastal feeling that defines us.Brisa01 is made in Spain, with attention to every detail and true to our way of doing things.  Closer to our factoriesWe visited our trouser factory in Albacete with a clear idea, to share more about the process and not just the final result.Together with Mike and Fran, and accompanied by the communication team, we created content to show more of the how and less of the what. Seeing up close how garments are made, with care and by the people behind every step. Because there’s nothing more important than taking care of those who take care of us.We wanted to highlight the way things are made, a value that often takes a back seat when buying a product, but that for us is just as important as the design itself.  Black Friday, consuming with purposeOne of the most intense moments of the year arrived. The entire team working as one. Warehouse preparing orders nonstop, IT and sales ensuring everything ran smoothly, and communication pushing a clear idea, buy less, but buy better. Choosing garments that last, made with purpose and at more accessible prices. Because we continue to stand by creating timeless clothing.This year, we also ran the biggest giveaway in Trendsplant’s history, a trip for two to South Africa with Wild Tomorrow to experience the work of rangers and wildlife conservation firsthand.Throughout Black Friday, we donated 5 percent of every order, fully covered by us, directly to Wild Tomorrow. A small gesture that perfectly reflects our way of understanding this moment of the year. The new Trendsplant universesWe closed the year by opening a new chapter. With the presentation of our work and the 2026 collections, Trendsplant reorganised into four universes that feel more tangible, personal and easy to identify. Origins, Workshop, Essentials and Colorblock. They have always been there, part of our way of doing things, but now they take on their own shape so everyone can feel identified with one, or with all of them. A step forward. For us and for you.

  • Pre-Order: Fall Winter 22 Pigment Dye Pack
    collection
    Pre-Order: Fall Winter 22 Pigment Dye Pack

    Have you ever wondered why most of the time when someone asks you about your season preferences they ask...Are you a summer or winter person? Hey there! What's the deal with spring and fall? :)We grew up in an area that is famous for summer, Costa Blanca is packed with beautiful beaches and we have great weather all year round. Alicante's spring and fall seasons are incredible (for locals even better than summer, with milder temperatures).Our February release, “Hikers Delight: Mariola”, featured bright colors inspired by the aromatic herbs found in the nearby natural reserve of Mariola.This Fall, it's time to show you Vall de Gallinera and its popular cherry trees, another area that has incredible fall colors.Vall de Gallinera is located around 90kms away from Alicante, heading inland very close to Mariola in the Marina Alta region, it covers an area of around 55 square kilometers and approximately 600 inhabitants populate the 5 villages that compose it.In this collection - part of the Pigment Dye pack, inspired by flora and fauna from the Mediterranean Coast - the colors of Fall in the area are the star, Cherry, and Poplar trees with their leaves turning from light orange to red leaving shades that evoke what the Japanese define perfectly as Koyo (autumn leaves).This collection covers both men's and women’s categories and is composed of t-shirts, sweaters, zip sweaters, pants, and accessories such as tote bags, all dyed using pigments.  PIGMENT DYEThis is a very particular type of dyeing, that uses fewer enzymes to stick color to the cotton fabric and thus we get a more superficial color.In this technique, the chemicals are less toxic and least polluting and the color fades with repeated use and wash, as happens with denim, providing a fantastic vintage look.PRE-ORDERSeveral of our releases have relied on this system over the past few years. WHY? This allows us to adjust orders more accurately, leaving fewer items behind at the end of each season, which means that no clothing is forgotten in a warehouse.The benefits? As a result, if we are more precise with quantities, we can adjust the price; consequently, those who place their orders in the first 10 days will receive a 15% discount, in the next 10 days, you'll get a 10% off retail prices, and in the last 10 days before the actual release, you'll get 5% off.

    Our commitment to Pre-Orders

    Our commitment to Pre-Orders

    A few days ago we launched our new SEAQUAL™ swimwear collection through pre-order.Obviously, we did not invent this system. Other brands have been using it for years, with very positive results.At Trendsplant, we discussed implementing pre-orders with a product in other seasons. However, we believe that it (or something very similar to what we discussed) is the future.We are living at a time when a growing number of people are committed to sustainability in their everyday lives: pre-orders can help with that important commitment.As one of Trendsplant’s goals is to become more sustainable over time, the pre-ordering system will feature more strongly in future launches.When a new product is manufactured, one of the biggest challenges is to estimate the amount to be produced. It isn’t an easy task and missing the optimum number means having extra stock that can stick around a long time.Launching a garment through pre-order helps us to adjust the quantity to be produced in advance. It allows us to calculate the optimum price better and above all, reduce the stock and storage costs.Tightly-adjusted production means less impact on the planet. Any manufacturing process leaves a footprint, but this is how we make it smaller. Benefits for allIf you’ve got this far, you’ll see the many benefits of pre-order. It also has a positive impact on the customer.Since there are benefits for Trendsplant (we produce the optimum amount, reduce the storage costs and stock), that allows us to give our customers a 15% discount, as in the case of the new SEAQUAL™ swimwear.Pre-ordering has already proved very useful in the manufacture of some products.In the coming weeks, we’ll launch a new collection of shorts made from SEAQUAL™ fabric using the EcoFinish dyeing processes and a collection of sunglasses made in Portugal. Those two innovations will be available initially through pre-order.

    At Trendsplant, our decision-making is relentless, with all our successes and our mistakes. Standing still just isn’t an option.We’re happy to announce that our new SEAQUAL™ fabric swimwear collection is ready to pre-order, and if you order your trunks now, you’ll get a 15% discount.We’ve spent many hours on these 7 new lines, which will be on beaches and around swimming pools within a few weeks.We’ve retained the quality many of you already know, and our creative department has strained every sinew to give you the most available options. We’ve also fine-tuned successful designs from past collections that the Trendsplant family (both customers and employees) have asked us to reissue in some form.We began using SEAQUAL™ in 2019 when we converted our entire collection of conventional polyester trunks to certified polyester, made from plastic recycled from the sea.The results are exceptional. The trunks are of the highest quality, they dry even quicker and, of course, they help make the planet a better place for everyone.To give you some idea, each pair of SEAQUAL™ trunks is made from 11 plastic bottles.Both the body of the trunks and the inner lining is made of SEAQUAL™ fabric.All the available lines may be washed in a washing machine and feature a regular cut. The trunks are held up by a drawstring and elasticated waist. There are pockets in the side seams and a handy back pocket with a velcro fastener.Why are we committed to pre-ordering?When manufacturing clothing, one of the biggest risks is the planning of production and estimated demand.By seeking pre-production orders, we can adjust output to demand, reduce prices and become more sustainable. We can avoid over-producing lines that may not sell.By reserving your trunks now, you’ll get a 15% discount, and your estimated shipping date will be 22 April.
