A luxury resort wear and swimwear brand founded in 2012 by Brazilian-born designer Sinesia Karol. Raised in the beach town of Vitória, Brazil—where her mother ran a swimwear manufacturing business—Karol later immigrated to the United States. After noticing a market gap between the daring, skimpy cuts popular on Brazilian beaches and the more conservative preferences of North American and European women, she launched her line to bridge the two cultures. The brand quickly became a high-fashion success, getting picked up by luxury retailers like Bergdorf Goodman and presenting regularly at major industry events like Miami Swim Week.
