COLLECTION 2016
We are a New York-based swimwear label started by two best friends, Monique and Gabriela,<br />
different in many ways yet we both share a common interest in our love for life, family and friends.<br />
We grew up extremely active in the summer beaches of New York and noticed there weren’t many<br />
swimsuits that complimented our personalities and New York savvy lifestyle. We found there<br />
were little choices between a sexy Brazilian cut, a classic all American brand, and a vintageinspired<br />
swimsuit. We dreamt for years about creating an American swimwear brand for women<br />
that would combine the sexy contemporary, the sophisticated classic feel, and a certain vintage<br />
flare, taking in our mixed homeland cultures of European and Latin American coastal lines. We<br />
wanted to make bathing suits that we could wear and feel sexy, comfortable and confidant in,<br />
whether here or abroad.<br />
We love bold color-blocking and nautical stripes. When we were thinking about the design of our<br />
bathing suits, we knew they had to be functional and comfortable, but we like to balance design<br />
with comfort as effortlessly as possible. Having both come from Technical Design backgrounds<br />
we take fit into huge consideration. We don’t believe you have to have a perfect bikini body in<br />
order to wear a bikini; you just have to be you and love yourself as you are.
We remember telling ourselves “why couldn’t we find bathing suits that fit as comfortable as our<br />
underwear?” So we spent many hours fitting and making sure our swimsuits are not tight and<br />
uncomfortable. We believe you can find a swimsuit for just about anyone’s personality and body<br />
type within our line. Our motto is “There is a suit for every Body!”<br />
We believe in being (semi) reckless and never looking back. Plus we like our swimsuits to be<br />
terribly impractical in the sense that it can be worn anywhere and goes with your own personality<br />
and body shape. Most importantly when we wear one of our bathing suits we want to be<br />
reminded of all of the places we've been, the people we love, the moments we don't want to<br />
forget. We believe your style is dictated by feeling more than anything else; we want our bathing<br />
suits to make you feel as both soft and strong, and that cool-girl vibe while being your true self!<br />
