Build it and they will come
A week ago we started advertising online for the first time. We were a little apprehensive because we weren't sure it was a good time with COVID19. We decided to push through however because swimwear is seasonal and summer isn’t cancelled.
We have gotten a lot of comments about our pricing and design. Firstly, I will start with the price. Aside from the fact that we give away more than 5% of our pieces to our design muses, read members of the disfigurement, disability and chronic illness community, we also produce stateside to make sure that every person in our supply-chain is being properly compensated.
A lot of the comments centered on how our prices are cost prohibitive for the disability community. To assume that the disability community cannot afford our swimsuits is to assume that people with disabilities do not have discretionary income, the money that people spend on nonessential goods or services. According to an American Institutes for Research (AIR) study, the discretionary income of the disability community is $21 billion.
Additionally, our bathing suits are made with luxury Italian fabrics that are twice as resistant to oils and chlorine when compared to other swimwear fabrics, making our swimsuits an investment rather than a shop, wear and toss purchase.
This fabric also happens to be sustainable, made entirely of post-consumer polyamide yarns and regenerated waste materials. This fabric is not cheap to produce and we are ok with that price point because we want our swimsuits to be sustainable and to stay with you for life. If after 1-2 years, our swimsuits don’t live up to their quality you can contact us and you will get a response from us.
When it comes to design we have worked with over 25 design muses, where the majority have different diagnoses, to create pieces that they feel comfortable going to the beach and/or pool in. We are in no way suggesting that you should hide your difference, instead by creating a brand inspired by health conditions that traditionally have carried tremendous stigma and showcasing the stories of a community that has previously been underrepresented and underserved, we hope to break that stigma and send a very clear and succinct message that every body is a bikini body.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com visit https://spiritualwork.mozellosite.com
I am a sucker for good relationship but I was denied peace by my so called wife. Found out alot about her and some other guys with the help of the expert ProfessorVenom69 @ gmail . Com maybe cause she thinks she is out of my league or something but she really fucked me up. She cheated on me with different guys while I was busy working my ass off making money. I am glad I got to know the truth in time and was able to summon the courage to divorce her. I recommend the expert if you need help
Recently heard about and worked with the hacker CyberVenom6@gmail. Com when I wanted to confirm if my husband was cheating on me which after gaining access to his laptop and phone I found out he was. I was also able to raise my credit score to 850 with his help. Talking to him made me realise he has been in the hacking business for a good while, he has alot of experience in the field. Told him I would refer him to more people which is why I am here, I highly recommend him if you need help
