A BOLDE CELEBRATION OF WOMENKIND

We are Bolde Swimwear, a line of swimsuits that empowers you to show up, (wo)man up, and be BOLDE about who you are regardless of your body shape, size, and story.

Founder and designer, Rie Abrera, has always had a deep connection with the ocean. From lounging on sandy shores, hopping across islands, and sleeping in hammocks, there's no better place to find inner peace and healing than the beach.

But not all bikinis get a win in her book. Some are too frumpy, over-promising, or uncomfortable— that's when a bold (wink!) idea started to simmer in her head: to design a unique line of swimwear that brings out the bolder side of women— regardless of body shape, size or story!

"I am empowered by my own confidence," says Rie. "I want other women to be empowered as well and be bolder!" In pursuit of this goal, she created a range of swimsuits with multi-way options so every woman can feel confident in her own skin and style.

Style Your Way

Our multi-way swimwear are statement pieces that reflect and celebrate every woman’s individuality and style. We welcome them to experiment different ways of wearing our pieces!

Made To Last

We focus on quality over quantity, creating pieces that are meant to be cherished and worn for years to come. This is our way of diving into the joys of a slow, sustainable fashion.

Inclusive

The beating heart of our mission is to embolden women of all shapes, shades, size and story by offering diverse sizing and styling options! Swimwear should embrace the woman, and not limit her.

Made Locally

Each piece has been thoughtfully made by our local sewers, whose livelihood is supported by every purchase.
