Sisterly Swimwear is a women's bathing suit line meticulously crafted to embrace diverse body shapes and sizes. Created by sisters for sisters, our eco-conscious swimwear collection caters to the Voluptuous, the Petite, and everyone in between, offering sustainable and stylish options for all.
Sisters Olivia and Isabelle Leger’s company all started due to their shared love affair for fashion. When Olivia was living in Australia she couldn’t find a suit that flattered her curvy body, so she made one.
People kept asking where she got her suit, which made them both think of a business opportunity.
At the time, Isabelle was studying journalism and environmental studies and became passionate about the impact the fashion industry has on marginalized communities and the planet.
So, the sisters brought their two expertises together to create Sisterly Swimwear.
What started as two sisters making these swimsuits by hand using sustainable materials, has since evolved into a global community of “sisters” who empower each other.
All Sisterly swim pieces are made with a nylon fabric derived from recycled fishnets and carpet fluff at the end of their usable life.
This waste is diverted from landfills and used to produce our luxe fabric in a facility run on wind power. The facility reuses water to avoid waste.
Those producing our fabric work in ethical conditions - suited to the Italian standard - and receive more than two months of paid vacation. No toxic chemicals are used in the production of our fabric, saving both workers and those wearing our suits from harmful exposure.
All Sisterly athleisure pieces are made with a similar nylon fabric from the same production facility that is instead produced with recycled plastic bottles. All of our fabric has UV protection and is cream, oil, pill and chlorine resistant.
All Sisterly Swim pieces are made ethically. Our manufactured pieces, including swimwear and activewear, are made in Bali, Indonesia in a facility awarded for its ethical standard.
Our made-to-order swimwear is handmade in Ontario, Canada. We have a seamstress passionate about fashion and making garments. The founders of Sisterly made all orders themselves starting out and understanding the work and effort that goes into each piece. That's why ethical production has, and will always be, a number one priority.
Employees are paid well above minimum wage and earn a 13-month annual salary. They receive 25 days of paid vacation, health insurance and are not forced to work more than 40 hours per week. Additional hours are optional and staff are paid overtime. Facilities are air-conditioned and comparable to western standards.
Our linen pieces are made in a Columbian facility founded by women and created to empower women in the community.
