The ocean calls, the sand warms beneath you, and time slows.
You’ve found the perfect place—nowhere to be, nothing to do, except live in the moment.
This is where Marla begins: inspired by the beauty of slowing down, connecting with the world around you, and creating moments you’ll carry with you forever.
A LOVE LETTER TO MEMORIES MADE
Marla is more than just swimwear—it’s a love letter to the beach, the memories made there, and my mum, Manuela—the woman who shaped mine.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, the beach was the backdrop to my childhood and the postcard of countless holidays. It’s the story behind Marla, inspired by my mum’s love for Brazilian bikinis, traveling the world, and creating lasting memories.
With my mum and sister, every trip began the same way: choosing a new swimsuit to run free in. Now, I hope to pass on that ritual to you through Marla.
Marla is a reflection of my mum’s gift for finding joy in the everyday—friends gathered around her table, incredible food, music, and laughter filling the air. These moments remind me that life’s beauty lies in simplicity, connection, and the memories that stay with us long after the season.
For Sunseekers and Memory Makers.
