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.

To whoever is reading this, I want you to know that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Last year, I was in a really bad place with my husband. We had lost track of each other, and the cracks in our relationship had grown deeper when he said to me, “I don’t think I’m happy anymore.” My heart dropped. It wasn’t the first time he’d said something like this, but this time, the words hung between us like a dark cloud. There was no fight, no resolution—just silence.I had tried everything: therapy, weekend getaways, even couples’ counseling. Nothing seemed to work. The love I had once felt for him felt distant, like something I couldn’t quite remember, and the thought of starting over made me feel even more lost. One day, I was searching online when I came across a post by a lady who Priest Ade had helped. So, I took his contact from there and messaged him on WhatsApp. He told me that sometimes, the answer doesn’t come from outside forces, but from within the people who are willing to work through the pain and try again.He gave me instructions on what to do and promised me that in 48 hours, everything would be well. I’m still in shock—my husband came back home and apologized. We worked everything out. I used to have doubts about these things, but not anymore. He can help you too.

I was so lucky to win the $1 million prize in the lottery. I have been playing the powerball lottery for about 20 years, and i didn’t win any big amount until Dr. Lucas helped me with his spiritual winning numbers, I thought it was all fake until he gave me the numbers and directed me on how to play. He gave me assurance that I was going to win and asked me to give him 48 hours to finish his work, which I did. The third day, he gave me the numbers and gave me instructions on how to play, and luckily, I won. I want to let everyone who is reading this to know that this spell really works and you can also be a winner if you give it a try to see for yourself. The moment you contact Dr Lucas for help is the end of suffering in your life, he has been helping people around the world and I’m happy that I’m among those who has benefited from his great work he’s doing, you can reach him if you really want to win the lottery Email: Drlucasspelltemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 Thank You
