Sandborn Swim is a Southern California brand born in Venice Beach by veteran swim, active, & sportswear designer, Sandi Wise, and her graphic artist daughter, Stephanie Wise who began this bikini adventure during the pandemic lockdown year of 2020.

Initially designing and making bikinis for Steph (who wanted bikinis that not only looked cute but would stay on while she surfed) then evolving into making bikini’s for all her friends.

It soon turned into a business and partnership with Steph co-designing and managing the marketing end while Sandi co-designs, makes patterns, sews, and manages the business end. As we grow we will be manufacturing small batches in local factories, keeping our commitment to make our products strictly in the USA.

We pride ourselves on quality craftsmanship and quality materials, using only the finest 4-way stretch fabrics and premium, chlorine resistant elastics.

We use sustainable fabrics, recyclable materials for shipping, and give back by donating 10% of our net profits to our favorite ocean protection groups; Surfrider Foundation, Heal the Bay, and the Ocean Conservancy.

We love our Venice community, it’s rich cultural & socioeconomic diversity, it’s vibrant & colorful creative vibe, and all the people that make it so special. It’s a melting pot of people who love each other regardless of differences. We look forward to highlighting the love here by collaborating with as many local artists and businesses as possible.

Sand = We love the beach!! Most of our vacations revolve around some sort of beach where there are good waves so Eric and Stephanie can surf and Sandi can chill on the sand 🙂

Born = Steph was born and raised with Venice beach as her playground and she continues to play there on a daily basis.

Sandborn seemed a fitting name for our brand.

SWIM because we love to be in the water! and we love creating swimwear!
