Our story
A Brazilian native now calling the beautiful shores of Australia home, I’ve always cherished the spirited energy of Brazilian bikinis. Every year, I journey back to Brazil — a reunion with family and, of course, a chance to refresh my bikini collection!
But when COVID locked the world down, my annual trip - and bikini pilgrimage - was on hold. As I searched the Australian market, I found swimwear that was chic, yes, but none that truly resonated with the vibrant spirit of my native beaches: bikinis that were luminous, free-spirited, and exuding a raw, natural confidence.
My idea for Salty Samba was born and so too, my mission to bring the spirit of the brazilian bikini - swimwear to uplift, empower and brighten women - to Australia.
My hope is that you feel the love, joy and authenticity in every Salty Samba piece for your happiest, most confident beach days ever.
Stay salty and real,

SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT BRAZILIAN SEAMSTRESSES
Behind each one of our bikinis is the dedication, talent, and flair of our independent seamstresses in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil.
We are a swimwear brand that does more than sell gorgeous bikinis. We’re here to uplift women, champion their skills, and celebrate their stories and bodies - just as they are.
Entrusting the work to the skillful hands of these talented seamstresses not only ensures outstanding care for detail and finish to each bikini but also supports these women in their journey of independence.
Their work with Salty Samba swimwear allows them to contribute to their household' income while being present at home to care for their families. Each bikini purchase helps support their independent income, one stitch at a time.
