Meet the Women
MEET THE WONDER WOMEN OF DF!
FACTORIES
Nelly & Raquel - I crossed paths with Nelly and her mom, Raquel, in sunny Los Angeles back in Summer 2017, and it's been a quarterly rendezvous ever since. These two are the powerhouse behind our swimwear construction, boasting over 40 years of experience. With a team of talented seamstresses, they help us create pieces that last season after season.
Edward's Mom - Oakland, 2020: that's where I met Edward's mom. Their quick turnaround on projects and local presence make them an invaluable partner. Plus, who doesn't love a quick drive for quality checks?
Ann - 2023 introduced me to Ann and her bustling factory. Despite the challenges of increasing rent, Ann's commitment to low pricing remains unshakable.
PRINTER & DYER
Rachel - Since 2018, Rachel's been our go-to for printing on synthetic fabrics. Her dyes? Simply unbeatable. Plus, she's a total boss in a male-dominated industry.
Mary - In 2021, I stumbled upon Mary and her amazing dye house. Balancing business and babies, she's a force to be reckoned with.
FABRIC SUPPLIERS
Ashley - Together, we turned hundreds of recycled water bottles into our popular men's swim trunk fabric. The result? Sold out in a week!
Whitney - When time was tight, Whitney came through with a compression fabric that's a tummy-taming dream. Plus, she's always ready to go the extra mile, even if it means waiting for my Uber together!
DEVELOPMENT
Mary Ann - Mrs. Parker and I go way back, over 10 years! She's the reason why our swimwear fits like a dream with zero returns. Cheers to that!
Nancy - Post-FIDM days, Nancy helped bring our high-waisted bikini bottom to life. Talk about a blast from the past!
Alexandra - Our newest addition, Alexandra, nailed our seamless long sleeve surf swimsuit on the first try. Here's to a seamless partnership ahead!
