Raise your umbrella, lay your towel and strip off your clothes. You’ve found the perfect spot to soak in the sun’s embrace.
Gazing towards the glistening blue, the ocean calls — but the golden sand is louder. Just a little bit longer. You recline and take in the world around you; people strolling, playing, living. People making memories that will last them a lifetime. To a soundtrack of crashing waves, your body starts to relax and you remember you have absolutely nowhere to be.
A LOVE LETTER TO MEMORIES MADE
Marla Swim 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 Swim, inspired by my mum’s love for Brazilian bikinis, seaside adventures, and the joy of creating 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.
Designed in Australia, each Marla piece is stitched with a story, for women who find beauty in simplicity, connection, and the memories that stay with us long after the season fades.
