Swimsuits speak louder than words

Inspired by my own ‘Mom in an E Cup and a bottom in an even bigger cup’ story, I wanted to create a range of swimwear that celebrates every curve of the woman’s body. Every shape. Every size.

How it all began

Our inspiring story

Our collection is designed to be a natural extension and enhancement of your unique form, enriched with colours, patterns, and prints that bring the garment to life and give meaning to the female form.I wanted to explore the geometric African prints where I was able to play around with and make it my own. The African colours stood out to me as they were all bold and bright and statement colours and that’s exactly what I was looking for when creating my collection.Each piece is meticulously crafted with the narrative of a woman in pursuit of feeling boldly courageous, inherently sexy, and proudly unbothered in a bikini or one-piece.
