I try not to look at swimwear while brainstorming and defining the mood of a collection. We then move to the sketching and designing phase before starting the prototyping process. It is during this last stage that we bring the final adjustments and details. We keep tweaking things until we consider that we have reached the perfect cut and the most flattering fit.

How important are sustainability and ethical practices to you?

It is the most important and is one of our core values. We believe it is brands’ responsibility to be as sustainable as possible and to educate the customer on this matter and on ways they can help with the climate crisis. We produce in small quantities so that what we make we sell and hence don’t waste. We produce locally and ethically. We like for our employees to be able to grow and develop while working with us. Making swimsuits is one of the most complicated craft I have been able to observe, and it is through a lot of research, hard work and constant exchange with our manufacturers that we were able to obtain the quality we reach for.

Future plans you would like to share with us?

We are already working on the next collection. We just finished the design process and are now moving to the fabric selection stage, which is very exciting. We are also working on a collaboration with an artist who is also a very close friend, in this collab we will integrate swimwear and jewellery in an innovative and fun way.
