Hi,
My name is Filip, and I started Starcove because I believe there is a better way to fashion:
1. Fun one of a kind designs that celebrate life's little pleasures. We like to combine style with a sense of humor. I find most clothing too boring and want to offer an alternative with more inspirational and colorful designs.
2. More design choices so you can find what is truly for you. We handcraft each order so that allows us to offer more designs.
3. Create awareness and give back to save our oceans. I am concerned about what is going on in the world and want to provide a positive message in our lives, our planet, and our oceans.
The inspiration for my creativity is my 92-year-old grandmother. She is a highly multi-skilled creator and has a long history of tailoring, sculpting, painting, and a wide range of crafts with amazing results.
We love the beach, our oceans, and marine life

We give back
We also want to inspire to make more people aware of the trouble our planet and oceans are in. We have specific designs to bring an inspirational message to take action to protect our environment.
We donate 10% of sales of our Save the Oceans collection to Oceana. They are a well-renowned organization dedicated to preserving and protecting our oceans. Here is a screenshot of one of our latest donation to Oceana:
Oceana's message when you donate on how they use the funds
With the support of more than 850,000 activists like you, we have already protected over 4.5 million square miles of ocean and innumerable sea turtles, sharks, dolphins, and other sea creatures – but there is still more to be done.
Support our work to protect the oceans by giving today. With your help, we can protect marine life and habitats.
Nine ways we are eco and environmentally friendly
-
All our clothes are made to order. We therefore completely avoid overproduction, waste and never have to destroy unsold inventory. We only produce once we receive an order and have been working hard on getting our turnaround times faster as well as broadening our assortment.
-
We use water-based eco-friendly inks for all our prints.
-
We have dedicated designs to create awareness around environmental issues especially around the problems our oceans face as well as climate change.
-
We give a portion back of certain collections to organizations that help save our oceans.
-
We offer organic cotton and fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles. These fabrics are certified to ensure the full supply chain is environmentally coherent. All of our designs can be printed on eco-friendly organic/recycled fabrics upon request.
-
Because we produce made to order we offer customizations of all our items. This allows for more personalized designs that will likely be worn longer.
- Most of our production is in the USA and only from ethical suppliers. We only source products and fabrics from ethical suppliers that comply with labor, environmental, and safety standards. Each of our partners has extensive environmental programs in place. In addition, most of our partners can be visited and are very transparent about their environmental efforts. By producing in the US, our partners have to adhere to clear regulations and certifications.
- We enable our supply chain with advanced technology to ensure a broad choice of products while producing on order and keeping our turnaround time reasonable. We can also allow order updates such as address changes prior to producing your item which reduces returns.
- We work only with WRAP certified partners. WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) is a globally recognized, independent 3rd party certifying body whose mission is to promote ethical, humane, and lawful conditions and practices in all manufacturing facilities.
The Starfish Story - Make a Difference
Our name STARCOVE was inspired by the Starfish story.
One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.
Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir.”
The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?”
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water, and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one!”
With this story in mind we like to focus on three things:
1) Being kind and eco-friendly
2) Hand-crafting our items
3) Bring a personal approach
I hope you like our approach.
