Our Story:

Swim by Gigi was born from a mix of sun, saltwater, and soul.

Founded by Gizelle Oliveira Cavalcante, a Brazilian designer who moved to the U.S. carrying a lifelong dream: to create a brand that reflects her roots, her creativity, and her love for the ocean.

Gigi grew up in a family of strong, talented women — surrounded by sewing machines, crochet hooks, and handmade details. Inspired by her grandmother’s hands and her mother’s creativity, she developed an early passion for fashion and craftsmanship.

But it wasn’t until she moved to the U.S. that everything fell into place.

She quickly realized something was missing: authentic Brazilian bikinis.

The flattering cuts, the high-quality fabric, the bold energy — and yes, the perfect tan lines.

So she decided to bring a piece of Brazil with her — and share it with women everywhere.

Every Swim by Gigi piece is handmade or carefully selected to offer the perfect mix of comfort, confidence, and individuality.

From the design to the packaging, every detail is crafted with love and intention.

We don’t just sell bikinis.

We create a whole experience — where you feel seen, celebrated, and connected to something real.

Welcome to Swim by Gigi.

Made by Brazilian hands, designed to make you shine.
