Cavana swim is a brand dedicated to clean design, ethical values, and lasting quality. Each piece is is handmade from premium eco-conscious materials, with a focus on longevity, simplicity, and elegance. 

​

Founded by designer Lilly Cortinas at age 17, Cavana Swim began with desire to reduce the environmental impact of fast fashion -- one of the most polluting industries -- and the lack of production transparency behind many well known labels. From the start, Cavana has stood for intention over excess and quality over quantity.

Hi, I'm Lilly -- founder of Cavana Swim and designer behind every piece.

​

I've been hand making swimwear for nearly four years, constantly refining my technique to bring you pieces that are well made, long lasting, and personal. I started Cavana Swim after learning about the massive polluting effects of the fast fashion industry and after seeing an item of clothing a friend bought from a popular fast fashion brand with the words help me sewn into the label. I struggled finding brands to shop from that were both transparent and sustainable -- even the most expensive brands-- so I decided to start my own. What began as a passion has grown into a deeper purpose: to make pieces that are timeless, high-quality, and align with your values.

​

Each swimsuit from our Essentials Collection is made using ECONYL* -- a premium, regenerated fabric sourced from ocean and landfull waste -- and hand sewn by me with durability and detail in mind. I want each Cavana Swim piece to be one of those rare, timeless stapes in your wardrobe that you fall in love with and keep forever.

​

I also love collaborating and bringing your dream pieces to life. If you have a design or vision of your own in mind, book a consultation with me below or in STUDIO!
