Created by women, made by women, for women, and made in the USA

We’ve created a versatile line of swimwear that can be worn in many ways. What’s more, the fabric is eco-friendly and sustainable. Tested by over 100 women, SIS Swimwear made them feel confident, creative, and happy.

Embrace this new level of self-love by joining us with your pledge and support.

We are passionate about empowering women to create their own swimwear designs. With one swimsuit, you can create a whole wardrobe for use at the beach, to work out, or even for a night out on the town.

This product is not a simple swimsuit. It is an innovation and truly a straight-up swimwear revolution

Our first collection, “SIS OF NATURE” is largely inspired by the world around us where everything coexists and combines naturally — a symbiosis of colors, textures, and designs. Each color works beautifully with all skin tones.

All colors in the SIS collection are compatible with each other which gives you room to be creative. You can combine a top of one color and bottoms of other colors or vice versa.

To create your SIS, we chose a low-impact fabric called EcoNYL® made from recycled plastic and fishing nets found in the ocean. Produced in Italy the fabric is eco-friendly and provides superior comfort.

ECONYL® has proven to be a sustainable, high-quality, durable material that will retain its shape and color, so you can enjoy your swimsuit for several seasons.

We focus our efforts on ensuring that our products are ethical and sustainable at every stage of production to make your SIS guilt-free.

The factory is solar-powered, provides ethical working conditions, and actively supports organizations that protect the environment and women’s well-being.

On top of that, we are committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from each collection to various foundations working to save nature and the ocean.

What is a SISTEM? Simple. You can match every garment from the current or upcoming SIS collection to create a new piece of clothing. This reduces stress and saves money spent on buying extra clothes that will end up at the back of your closet.

SIS TOP + BOTTOMS = SIS SWIMSUIT

Help SIS grow with your support! The more stretch goals you unlock, the more SIS designs will become available to choose from.

SIS TOP + SKIRT = SIS DRESS

SIS TOP + PANTS = SIS JUMPSUIT

SIS covers a multitude of sizes and boob shapes, however, we realize that this technology doesn’t expand to all our fabulous sizes…yet. SIS allows a very flexible fit. Take a look at the size chart and reach out to us with any questions. You can click on the size picture and open the table with measurements.

We strongly believe that women of all sizes should have access to our products. We aim to be fully inclusive by expanding our size offerings, and with your help, we will be able to fund this important development.

Straps that come in the standard SIS set allow you to adjust the size and fit of each garment easily, depending on how you feel today.

When I was little, my favorite TV shows were about animals and nature, so helping to protect the environment and wildlife has been my dream since childhood. As I grew up fashion and travel became my other passions.

I have traveled a lot and visited 42 countries, some of them more than once. My heart broke when I watched how every year the ocean becomes more and more polluted, and the coastal zone got filled with plastic. So in 2020, when the pandemic hit and millions of carelessly discarded face masks ended up on the beaches, making the ecological situation worse, I came up with a solution how to contribute to the zero-waste ocean. I decided to create a fashion brand that uses recycled plastic

A year passed, and when travel restrictions were lifted I went on a trip where I took all kinds of swimwear. As I packed, I looked at the pile of bikinis and one-pieces and thought how cool it would be if one swimsuit could combine several ones. And that’s how SIS was born.

Why swimwear, you might ask. Women are a huge inspiration for me and I want everyone to feel amazing in their bodies, feel sexy and confident. I believe that being sexy is about looking natural, showing the world your individuality, and who you really are.

I had to go a long way to come to this understanding. Years of dieting, eating disorders, photoshopping my pictures, and low self-esteem. Now I know that there is no point in trying to fit the “perfect” image — enjoy yourself now, love your body, and accept yourself for who you are. We are beautiful just the way we are, we are different, and that makes us unique.

A swimsuit is a great way to express your personality and highlight how sexy you are, and you can choose how you want to do it.

The SIS brand name was born from my desire to unite all women as sisters. We are so different, and we are all beautiful.

SIS is more than just a fashion brand. It is a team of like-minded people driven by a passion for nature, design, and a conscious approach to life. We need your support to make this project happen.

We believe that Kickstarter will help us build a nurturing community of women who want to feel good about themselves and contribute to saving our beautiful planet for our children and future generations.

Tell everyone about us on social media. Your support is everything!

This project is promoted by Jellop, the ad tech power behind the best Kickstarters with 2,100+ successful Kickstarter projects with over $900M raised between them.

Risks and challenges

We value transparency and can say that we are all set. The designs are ready, we have secured a contract with a reliable manufacturer and just need your support to launch production in March. We are looking for the perfect shipping company and preparing for different outcomes to make sure that you will start to enjoy your SIS before the beginning of summer.

Long-lasting design

We made an effort to make our designs as durable and long-lasting as possible. Econyl is strong, elastic, and lightweight. It’s a completely synthetic material so it’s resistant to attacks from insects, moths, molds, fungi, and many chemicals, which means it will last extended sun, heat, and water exposure. It has excellent resiliency and tenacity. It’s often used in activewear and swimwear because it’s waterproof and quick-drying, unlike natural fibers such as cotton or wool.

Reusability and recyclability

Our swimsuit collection, as well as the pouch and packaging, are made from recycled materials (e.g. plastic, fishing nets) that can be recycled again. Econyl, the fabric from which the swimsuits are made, is very durable, so it can be worn for several years. Finally, the SIS top can be worn on a daily basis as a top, so it can replace several garments at once.

Sustainable materials

To produce our swimsuits we will use Econyl fabric made from nylon waste, fishing nets, and other plastic, which is recycled into regenerated nylon. Econyl has proven to be a sustainable material because it can be reused and recycled over and over again. The BaliSwim factory is experienced in producing swimwear from this fabric The waterproof pouch will also be made from Econyl fabric. For individual packaging, we will use eco-friendly material made from tapioca starch.
