Summer is here, and that means it's swimsuit season. This year the quest for the perfect swimsuit will be easier than ever because we have brought together the Best Swimsuits all in one place- and they are all Sustainable and Women-Owned!
Who better than women to design swimwear for women?
After all, they have dealt with the dread and struggles of swimsuit shopping. What's more? These amazing founders are also dedicated to making a difference- not just to how women look and feel but through their commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, giving back, and taking care of their employees. So Feel Good Knowing that You Are Doing Good by Shopping Sustainable and Supporting Women-Owned Brands!
Of course, we can't possibly show you everything these brands have to offer, but we can give you a glimpse, so be sure to check out each brand- we guarantee you'll find your perfect swimsuit.
ANDIE SWIM
Like most founders, the idea for Andie Swim came to founder Melanie Travis when she couldn't find what she was looking for; in this case, a flattering one-piece swimsuit that wasn't meant specifically for sports. So she made it her mission to end the universal cries of women that "swimsuit shopping sucks!"Made for women by women because they've been through it. No more adjusting, tugging, or pulling: just well-made, well-cut suits that look great and keep everything where it should be so all you feel is comfortable. Besides their large selection of great-looking swimsuits, what we love is they provide a Fit Expert to help you find the best suit for you! Free returns within 21 days.

They're not just about feeling good and looking good; they are doing good. Vitamin A is committed to sustainability in every aspect, from operations to distribution and manufacturing, which includes sourcing the most sustainable recycled and plant-based material options.

SUMMERSALT
We love Summersalt for designing for real women of all shapes and sizes- and just love their new Summer campaign! Founders Lori Coulter and Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin don't just produce great swimsuits; they have created a line of travel essentials that are "comfortable enough for the journey and stylish enough for the destination." The swimsuits are made from luxurious fabrics crafted from 78% Recycled Polyamide, which means post-consumer materials and nylon waste—like old fishing nets—that are literally pulled from our oceans. In addition, they have a Fit Guide to walk you through finding the best suit for you- bonus! Their collection includes everything from bikinis and one-pieces to cover-ups and activewear- all designed for real women.

JADE SWIM
This sustainable swimwear brand was founded by former fashion editor and stylist Brittany Kozerski. Combining a minimalist aesthetic with innovative silhouettes, the collection is simple but not at all basic- it's classic with an edge. Sustainability is as at their core with the majority of the collection made from ECONYL which is made out of 100% regenerated nylon. This reduces waste from oceans and landfills by recycling items such as fishing nets, plastic bottles and fabric scraps. Designed with multifunctional versatility in mind, these styles can be worn from beach to city or day to night.

MARYSIA
We love the signature scalloped edge swimwear by Marysia! And if you're one to invest in one great swimsuit that you'll live in and love- then this collection is for you.
Founder Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves is a former ballerina and longtime surfer who discovered she could translate her "uniforms" into modern swimwear. But hardly a uniform- beautifully made from premium Italian fabrics, the swimwear is cut by hand in a couture factory. Do you have a mini? Matching swimwear for girls too.

LONDRE
If your backside is your best asset, then you'll love these cheeky bottom suits. Co-founders Ainsley Rose and Hannah Todd are are not only designing flattering, high-quality swimwear empowering women to love their bodies, but they're committed to making a difference. From using recycled plastic water bottles (200,000 to date) to create their swimwear to caring for their employees and donating money to environmental initiatives including Amazon Watch and The Ocean Clean Up Project, taking care of the planet and its people is at the heart of their mission.

ANSEA
As a surfer, founder Abigail Lorick felt the surf market was male-dominated and not addressing the needs of women. So last year (yes, during a pandemic), she launched Ansea, a female-run and female-focused lifestyle brand providing timeless essentials for women who love the water. This new collection of swimsuits, wetsuits, and RTW is feminine and functional. The swimsuits are made from Econyl, a type of recycled nylon made from abandoned fishing nets. The wetsuits and this great all-purpose tote bag are made of Yulex, a plant-based alternative to neoprene that creates less waste byproducts.
Price from $125
We are about inclusion and supporting all women!
We know most would love to support women-owned brands, but there's a higher cost involved when using sustainable materials and fabrics, thus a higher price tag.Therefore we must offer options to all women, regardless of their budget. So we have done the work for you! Check out the Best Affordable Swimsuits to Buy - and they are all under $40 and all on Amazon!
