Holy Trinity of Swimwear

Holy Trinity of Swimwear

— Amelia Marjory
We are dynamic beings. We flow with the moon’s magnetic swells and surge with the sun’s pulsing flares. We are refined elemental creations. We are the phases and the seasons and the transitions in between. 

May we embody this elemental beauty, and adorn ourselves befittingly!

— Anna Lieding

UrthAve pointedly states: "you might want to consider where the swimsuit is coming from and how it is being made. Since the fashion industry is one of the most environmentally damaging and waste producing industries in the world, every little fashion purchase counts."
