My Story & How I Started Avenue

​

Growing up in San Clemente, California I developed an early love for coastal living and all the freedom it brings. From a young age, I was always surrounded by the ocean. My constant travels around the world and countless time spent in and around the ocean only deepened my understanding of what it means to have a bikini that’s not just beautiful, but well-made—designed to move with you, withstand saltwater, and last season after season.

In 2020, I decided to take a leap and turn my passion for the ocean and design into something tangible. I started my own bikini brand—handcrafting each bikini myself, one stitch at a time. I wanted to create a product that was as sustainable as the lifestyle I cherish, so I sourced only recycled, eco-friendly materials. Every piece was sewn with care in my small, one-woman workshop, allowing me to oversee every detail from start to finish.

It wasn’t easy at first—there were long nights and countless prototypes—but I stayed committed to my vision: to offer high-quality swimwear that was both functional and kind to the planet. Today, my business continues to grow, but I haven’t strayed from my roots. Each bikini is still made with the same love and attention to detail, made to last, and designed to help people feel confident, whether they’re lounging by the beach or catching waves under the sun.

It’s a journey that started from the sands of San Clemente and has taken me far and wide, but it’s always been about staying true to my core values—quality, sustainability, and a love for the ocean.
