I had over 500 bikinis and I still felt like I was missing the perfect one. I remember my mom showing me the suits she wore in the 80s and how effortlessly flattering they were. While looking through her collection of bikinis that still looked brand new 20-something years later, I was inspired to re-imagine the perfect bikini.

I sewed a handful of samples with a sewing machine I bought off someone until I found the absolute perfect silhouette for my ideal bikini, and thus, Tinye Swim was born in 2020 and it's been a fabulous ride ever since.
