diptribe® – Sustainable Apparel for Wild Swimmers
diptribe® is a purpose-led apparel brand created for wild swimmers, open water swimmers and outdoor adventurers who feel most at home in, on or around water. Founded in 2023 by Paul and Jo, diptribe® was born from a love of rivers, lakes and sea swimming, combined with a passion for original hand-drawn design. Based near the Cotswold Lakes, the brand blends creativity, community and sustainability into a collection of clothing that reflects the wild swimming lifestyle.
Designed for Life Around the Water
diptribe® creates organic cotton hoodies, sweatshirts, graphic t-shirts and everyday accessories inspired by meaningful outdoor adventures. These are layering pieces built for year-round open water swimmers — ideal for early starts, post-swim warm-ups and everything in between. Every design begins as original artwork, capturing the spirit of cold water swimming and outdoor exploration in bold, expressive graphics.
Sustainably Made, Built to Last
Sustainability sits at the core of diptribe®. Their clothing is made from natural and organic materials, produced using renewable energy and printed on demand to reduce waste. Working with a circular production partner, each garment is designed to be remade at the end of its life. Customers can return worn items to be recycled into new products, helping keep materials in use and out of landfill. It’s a simple idea: thoughtful design, responsible production and clothing that lasts beyond a single season.
Rooted in Community
diptribe® is closely connected to the wild swimming community in the Cotswolds and beyond. With strong ties to local swim groups and a genuine commitment to encouraging more people to experience the mental and physical benefits of outdoor swimming, the brand stands for more than just apparel. It represents resilience, creativity and respect for the natural places we swim.
