Our Story
Our Story
IVY Swimwear is proudly a minority and female owned brand. Founded in 2015, by Linda Chiou, a Canadian entrepreneur, now living in New York.
IVY Swimwear is driven by making women feel confident and beautiful in their bodies and offering feminine, flirty and fashion-forward designs for the trend setter!
We are a curated collection of swimwear mostly designed in house and exclusively sold by IVY. Our pieces are unique and made with lots of love!
Most of our designs take 3-4 months per item so we pour our heart and soul into designing one-of-a-kind pieces! Lace, textured fabrics, high quality hardware are some of the exciting fabrics and accessories we love to work with when creating our unique designs.
Our Team
The #IVYBABE family is composed of creative souls and hard-working talent based in California and New York. Fashion is a way of expressing ourselves and we live and breathe swimwear everyday! Our team works hard to bring you fashionable swimwear that will enhance your curves in all the right places! Our pieces are designed for females, by females! Each piece is made with love, carefully designed just for you.
Giving Back
We are constantly looking to improve our efforts to give back to the community. We have donated to different charities and causes and will continue to give back to causes that are close to our heart!
We donate and sponsor a variety of charities and causes on a continuous basis. No matter how big or little, we believe in giving back to our communities. Below is a list of some of the charities to which we have donated.
Our Sustainability Journey
IVY Swimwear was named after the plant - poison ivy, and our collections are inspired by nature and the beautiful colors and textures of Mother Earth.
Our brand is taking steps forward every year in our efforts to be better for our planet. Our packaging is a mix of recyclable and biodegradable materials including our customer cards, packing boxes, and components of our order packaging.
We aim to be more conscious of all processes from manufacturer selection, production, to packaging and we know we can continually improve. We ensure that all our fabric is ordered to quantity and any left over fabric is used in order to ensure no waste in materials.
We also gift reusable satin pouches in our orders to encourage reuse for our customers, by using multi-use packaging.
Educating our customers on proper product care, to ensure longevity of the product is very important to us to prolong their lifespan.
We are an independent label and are committed to learning more about eco-friendly processes and researching sustainable materials for future designs so that we can become a more ethical brand for Mother Earth.
