Costa and Bureo Take the Untangled Mission Beyond Eyewear

For more than 40 years, Costa has grown to be one of the coolest outdoor brands in the industry, through its trusted reputation at the center of performance, sustainability, and life on the water. The brand’s influence comes not from fleeting collaborations or one-off moments, but from its ability to shape outdoor culture through meaningful innovation and a genuine connection to the people and environments that define it.

Costa’s partnership with Bureo builds on that legacy, extending its use of recycled fishing net materials beyond eyewear and into apparel and accessories made with NetPlus, a recycled nylon derived from discarded fishing nets. The approach reflects Costa’s ongoing commitment to making sustainability a more integral part of its product offering, as the wider fashion industry increasingly turns to recycled materials to reduce its environmental impact.

For surfers and divers like Conner Coffin and Kimi Werner, the connection between product and place is part of everyday life. Their experiences on the water offer a perspective on what matters in the gear they use, from performance and durability to the materials behind it.

“The broader fashion industry can learn that even a small community united by a mission to do right by the environment can inspire others when they’re invited to be part of that purpose. We’re all human beings living on this planet, and it can be easy to lose sight of that connection. Consumerism, fast fashion, and the demand for speed often lead people to think less deeply, but when the industry embraces its platform and power to create meaningful change, consumers will respond positively.” – Kimi Werner

“Yeah, I feel like we’re fortunate to live in this world and be a part of it every day. Hopefully, by sharing these stories through a brand like Costa, which makes great products that appeal to people beyond the outdoor community, we can reach a broader audience and, like Kimi said, invite them into this world.” – Connor Coffin

The expanded collection introduces three apparel pieces: the Untangled Oceans Jacket, Convert Cargo and Hat. Built for time on the coast, each features water-repellent and quick-drying construction alongside practical details. Five new eyewear styles — San Carlos, Tavi, Mooring, Sunlace and Rizzler — round out the lineup, spanning performance frames and more lifestyle-oriented silhouettes.

The collection is now available at costadelmar.com, with more information about Bureo and its work in recycled materials at Bureo.co.
