Our History
who are we
Designer Carlin Gordon, an avid surfer with a relaxed coastal upbringing, and founder Alexandra Gordon, a self-confessed swim connoisseur saw a gap in the market while scrolling the Internet—bespoke swimwear that flatters the form while taking style notes direct from international runways and streetwear. Combining this unique inspiration with her ethos that swimwear should make every woman look and feel her absolute best, Alexandra's label was born.
