ALL ABOUT VIOLAA

My Story

It all truly began in 2015 with a sweet and simple story...

​

      Hand-sewn sets for a few girlfriends rapidly grew through word-of-mouth to receiving order requests via social media and hosting Pop-Up Shops along the West Coast of British Columbia.

​

In recent years, Violaa Swimwear has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as the distinguished luxury brand you encounter today. Our distinctive offering of a "tailored fit," tailored to individual measurements, sets Violaa Swimwear apart from larger brands. We believe this personalized option is essential to cater to the diverse members of our growing Violaa family, ensuring inclusivity for all.

​

Fueled by the unwavering support and affection from our local community, Violaa Swimwear has evolved into a beloved brand with a national presence across Canada. Operating as a small, one-woman show, our endeavors are propelled by passion, a sense of community, and, admittedly, a fair amount of caffeine!

​

Presently, our collections grace the shelves of a prominent swimwear shop in British Columbia and Alberta and plans are underway for expansion into numerous locations. There couldn't be a more opportune moment to join us on this journey. Let's ride this wave together, crafting and customizing exquisite bikinis worn by extraordinary women!

From Concept to Couture- The Violaa Process

Designing

Every element of Violaa Swimwear is crafted with intention — from the silhouette of each design to the precision of the sizing chart — with one vision in mind: a flawless fit that enhances your natural elegance. When you step into your Violaa piece, my desire is that you feel effortlessly confident, powerful, and undeniably beautiful.

I treat each creation as more than swimwear — it is a statement of artistry, sustainability, and timeless sophistication. Every stitch reflects a dedication to quality and refinement, ensuring your piece feels as luxurious as it looks.

Violaa is not just a collection, it is an invitation to embrace couture-inspired swimwear designed exclusively for the modern muse.

Fabric

As the designer behind Violaa Swimwear, I personally curate every fabric, sourcing only from esteemed local mills and artisans across North America. Each material is chosen with uncompromising attention to quality, sustainability, and touch — ensuring that your swimwear is as refined as it is responsible.

A carefully considered palette of timeless solids and exclusive prints allows you to create a piece that is uniquely your own. Indulge in the art of customization and design a Violaa creation that reflects your individuality with couture precision.

At Violaa Swimwear, each garment is a work of devotion — crafted with meticulous care and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Every stitch carries intention, ensuring that the quality is nothing short of exceptional.
