Our Story

 

An 'accidental' beginning

The Serena Bikini in platinum
Created by sisters Marcia and Anna, Sauipe started almost by accident. Combining Anna's experience in production, Marcia’s experience in business management, and their love for beach and fashion, Sauipe's ‘accidental’ beginning took place when the much coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition published 6 suits from Sauipe's first collection in 2008.

At that point we were simply testing some styles and had no real understanding of the swim and resort industries.  No business plan yet, no website, not even a business bank account or phone number.  Just passion. And overnight, a major media boost.  There was no looking back.

That event set them on an organic and successful growth path. Sauipe swimwear can be found across the U.S. at independent boutiques of various sizes and close to 25 hotels and resorts stores in the United States and the Caribbean.
