Marysia Swim 2012 Is Back For an Encore

We introduced Marysia Swim last season because we admired the fresh, new looks by designer, Maria Dobrzanska Reeves. We also gave them some healthy respect for starting up in a tough, economic era. We are happy to see that Maria's label is still thriving, thank you very much, and so we decided to bring back Marysia Swimwear in 2012. I think that our customers will be pleased that we did.




Marysia Swim 2012 - Marbella Bikini

 Maria brings a distinct and decidedly American look to the swimwear world. Her styles are very well made and the fit is impeccable. What we like most is that there's a simple, soft femininity that pervades throughout her collections. It's lighthearted...it's different… and we’re smitten by that. It’s just all so pretty!

Here’s one of my Marysia Swim faves for 2012:

Marysia Swim 2012 - Acapulco Bikini

 
These swimsuits are for 2012 and will be arriving soon.  If you love the Marysia look, you might want to take a peek at our Marysia Swim 2011 items that are now on sale.

Marysia Swimwear - All American

In honor of the 4th of July, we would like to introduce to you a new line from the good ol' USA.  Marysia Swim is a delightful collection of inspiring swimsuits by Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves, done up in a pallete of  femininity and intimate elegance.  The frills show up, once again, as well as the high-waisted bottom.  I especially like the clever way that Marysia does tiny gathers, here and there, to create a new look. 

So, I'll make this short.  Please have a wonderful and SAFE 4th.
