Our Mission

At Sommer Swim, we exist to redefine the way women feel in swimwear — powerful, confident, and unapologetically themselves.

Born from a desire to create the perfect balance of sensuality, sophistication, and minimalism, our collections are designed to celebrate the female form. Each piece reflects a devotion to craftsmanship, a pursuit of freedom, and a vision of summer lived boldly and beautifully.

Through considered cuts, custom fabrics, and a modern interpretation of European elegance, we create pieces that move with the woman who wears them — wherever her story leads.

Our Fabrics

Italian Xtra Life Lycra®

Sommer Swim Signatures

The Sommer Swim Signatures are crafted from premium Italian Xtra Life Lycra®, a high performance swim fabric developed for longevity, support, and a refined feel on the skin. Engineered to resist chlorine, saltwater, sunscreen, heat, and frequent washing — the elements that wear conventional swimwear out — Italian Xtra Life Lycra® offers superior stretch recovery, helping each piece hold its original shape and colour vibrancy over time.

Sustainability through longevity. A swimsuit that lasts is a swimsuit you don’t replace. By engineering for durability and colour retention, Italian Xtra Life Lycra® extends the wear life of every piece — and the most meaningful environmental impact in swimwear is the one that doesn’t end up in landfill. Every Signatures piece is built to outlast trends and serve as a lasting addition to a considered wardrobe.

For the wearer, this means a swimsuit that feels soft and comfortable while providing reliable support, a flattering fit, and long-lasting colour. Ideal for frequent swimming, extended sun exposure, and women who value durability without compromising on elegance.

    Sommer SOFTLUX

    Sommer Solaire Collection

    Introducing SOFTLUX, our signature matte lycra developed exclusively for Sommer Swim. Crafted from regenerated polyamide blended with elastane, it offers exceptional support with a silky soft, sun-mellowed finish against the skin.

    Designed to move with the body, SOFTLUX balances gentle stretch with lasting shape retention, creating a sculpted yet comfortable fit that holds season after season. Its compact structure and refined hand feel deliver a subtle matte luminosity, reminiscent of vintage swimwear through a modern lens.

    Made from 78% recycled polyamide. Crafted using GRS certified recycled polyamide yarns, SOFTLUX is developed through a certified and traceable supply chain, independently verified to Global Recycled Standard requirements. The fabric reflects Sommer Swim’s considered approach to modern swimwear, balancing performance, longevity, and responsible material sourcing.

    Durable, pilling resistant, and made to withstand sea, pool, and sun, SOFTLUX embodies the Sommer Swim balance of structure and softness, strength and lightness.

    Tested & Certified Quality

    All of our swimwear fabrics are independently tested and certified by Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services, one of the world’s leading authorities in product testing, quality assurance, and sustainability.

    Our fabrics meet the highest industry standards for:

    • Chlorine resistance

    • Saltwater resistance

    • Colour fastness to light

    • Durability through laundering

    This ensures that every Sommer Swim piece is designed to look beautiful, feel comfortable, and perform reliably over time.

    Manufacturing & Production

    Our production partners are carefully chosen for their high standards in craftsmanship and ethical practices. We work closely with a female-led factory, headed by the incredible Ms. Adeline — a true powerhouse leading her team with skill and passion. By producing in small runs, we ensure attention to detail while avoiding the excess inventory typical of mass production models.

    Every piece undergoes a thorough inspection by our dedicated Quality Control (QC) department before it reaches you — ensuring only the best leaves our factory.

    Sommer Swim is committed to ensuring safe, fair, and supportive working conditions. We personally visit the factory monthly and maintain strict oversight on workers' welfare and production standards.

    Certifications include:

    • BSCI B Rating
    • SEDEX Member
    • Environmental Certificates
    • Oeko-Tex Certified Fabrics

    Our Prints

    Our prints are developed in collaboration with a family-run studio based in Como, Italy — the heart of textile artistry since 1976. This legendary studio has crafted designs for global fashion icons such as Chanel, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana.

    Combining hand-drawing with digital innovations, their passionate team of designers craft original, exclusive prints that reflect both heritage and trend.

    By partnering with artisans who value originality and craftsmanship, we ensure every Sommer Swim print is a wearable work of art — fresh, elevated, and exclusive to our brand.

    Hardware & Trims

    Our hardware is entirely custom-designed in-house using advanced 3D rendering software. Drawing inspiration from natural textures, we create one-of-a-kind pieces that you won’t find anywhere else.

    We use premium-quality Zinc Alloy, with double electroplating to guarantee the highest standards of colorfastness and wear resistance. All Sommer Swim hardware components are tested through Bureau Veritas to ensure longevity and resistance to the elements.

    Packaging

    Our commitment to considered design extends beyond the garment itself. Every order is thoughtfully packaged using recyclable and reusable materials, including a cotton canvas pouch designed to be repurposed for your next escape.
