Who cuts these
ALove and ANFILIA are one workroom with two labels on the tape. We make swimwear for people who want to know where the hem lands before they order.
We started with one complaint, heard often enough that it turned into a brief: the skirt rides up, the top comes loose, and nothing on the listing told you it would.
What we make
High waisted swim skirts and skorts, tankini tops cut long enough to stay down, matched sets for people who would rather not assemble anything, and extra long cotton camisoles for the days nobody gets wet. 43 pieces across 5 sections, 22 of them under the ANFILIA label.
The two labels are not two companies. ANFILIA sits on the same tables, cut to the same charts, and the only reason for the second name is where the piece started life.
The rule we cut to
Coverage first, and then everything else. That means a waistband wide enough to sit flat instead of rolling, a hem long enough to still be there when you sit down, and a brief or a lining underneath on 29 of the pieces here.
It also means we say no to cuts that photograph beautifully and ride up in the water. That decision has cost us some very pretty samples.
The number on every page
We tape 33 of these from the top of the waistband down the side seam to the hem, and print the result in inches. They run from 10″ to 30″. It is the single most useful thing on any of these pages and almost nobody publishes it.
Where you buy
Not here. Every piece links through to our retail partner, who takes the payment and sends the parcel. We earn a commission when that happens. It changes nothing about the price you pay, and it has never decided what goes on the rack.
What we do not tell you
We do not claim a suit will change your shape, and we do not print a promise about your body anywhere on this site. We print measurements. What you do with them is yours.
