Summers being reserved for beach days out in the sun and tanning sessions down by the pool is one of those unspoken rules – and who are we to defy that? All we’re saying is that, whatever the occasion may be, showing up looking your best is a feeling that cannot be described with just words.
If you’re looking for a swimwear brand that suits you and your needs, we might have just what you’re looking for.
At Cosmo ME, we always love spotlighting new Arab brands. With summer now here, these swimwear brands founded by Arab designers have come to our attention at just the right time. Each brand has their own unique silhouettes and identity. Whether you’re someone who appreciates more modest options or someone looking to make a statement, these brands have you covered.
Consider this your chance to find picks that are sure to make you stand out!
Léa the Label
Léa Daaboul, the Lebanese-American yoga instructor-turned-entrepreneur, began this journey in the hope that women would find their confidence through her pieces. It’s swimwear that was made to be timeless yet bold – something that makes you feel like yourself. The brand believes in slow fashion with sustainability at its core. The label offers pieces that aren’t part of fast-fading trends, but rather swimwear of great quality and timeless chicness. Now we know that this will never go out of style.
Mayöh Beach Wear
This Saudi-based brand serves the most vacation-coded prints. With colourful detailing and flowy textures, they have nailed the secret formula for summer. Another aspect we love about this brand is its variety of modest styles. There are bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, cover-ups, and even full-length swimwear, ensuring no one is left behind. As women living in the diverse Middle East, we love to see this kind of inclusion. Everyone has the chance to have fun and feel comfortable this summer.
Kai Collections
This Egyptian swimwear brand is the perfect mix of cosy and risky. On the one hand, they have the most perfect figure-hugging swim pieces; on the other, they have some of the airiest, flowiest ready-to-wear pieces. For the days when you want to head out to dinner right after a swim on the beach, Kai Collections has got you covered.
L’aqua
Obsessed is an understatement when it comes to this brand. L’aqua offers some of the prettiest swim sets out there that look like they’ve come straight from Pinterest. Each of its collections embodies some of the season’s hottest trends. From pink seashells to sparkly leopard prints, these aesthetic designs were created to make a statement. If you’re hoping to have an apologetic summer, these swimwear pieces are going to be permanent members of your summer rotation.
ABY Swimwear
This swimwear brand’s story is rooted in the Dubai lifestyle, where it equally values functionality and glamour. Think of all those classic summer movies with the insanely gorgeous female leads. Yeah, this store has all those signature looks. From bold reds and colourful patterns to shimmery strass sets, this brand has you sorted for the rest of the summer. ABY Swimwear also places a high regard on sustainability and the importance of good-quality, ethical materials.
