“I’m often asked how I manage it all – sewing, photoshootings, social media, marketing, sales, etc.. To be honest, sometimes I wonder myself. But the truth is, it’s not just a job; it’s a passion, a calling. It’s about seeing a vision through from the initial spark of inspiration to the moment a customer slips on a piece and radiates confidenceand happiness.

The journey began with a simple desire: to create swimwear that was both beautiful and sustainable. I wanted to move away from the fast-fashion model, the endless cycle of consumption and waste. I envisioned a circular production system, where every scrap of fabric was valued, where offcuts became accessories, and where discarded pieces could be repurposed.

Locally sourced materials became the cornerstone of my work. I sought out small, family-run textile businesses, artisans who understood the importance of quality and craftsmanship. It was about supporting my community, about building relationships, and about ensuring that every piece carried a story, a connection to the place it was created.

The creative process itself is a dance, a constant interplay between inspiration and execution. Sometimes, it’s a flash of color in a sunset that ignites an idea. Other times, it’s the texture of a seashell or the rhythmic sway of seaweed that guides my hand. I sketch, I drape, I experiment, pushing the boundaries of traditional swimwear design.

Artisan work is at the heart of what I do. Each stitch, each seam, is a testament to the skill and dedication that goes into creating a handmade garment. It’s about slowing down, about paying attention to detail, about infusing each piece with a sense of care and craftsmanship.

Fashion, for me, is more than just trends. It’s a form of self-expression, a way to celebrate individuality. My designs are inspired by Greek mythology, by the vibrant colors of the ocean, and by the diverse shapes and sizes of the human body. I want to create swimwear that empowers, that makes people feel comfortable and confident in their own skin.

But it’s not just about the product; it’s about the people. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with other small businesses, to give work to talented seamstresses and artisans in my community. It’s about building a network of support, about creating opportunities for others to thrive.

Looking back, I’m filled with a sense of pride. I’ve built something from the ground up, something that reflects my values and my passion. I’ve created swimwear that is not only beautiful and unique but also sustainable and ethical. I’ve given work to my community, and I’ve empowered others to feel confident and beautiful.“
