Carve Designs is committed to domestic manufacturing and uses factories in California to produce a large portion of their swimwear and activewear. When they can’t produce at home, they establish close relationships with overseas factories to ensure worker welfare and a transparent supply chain.

They are dedicated to producing sustainable swimwear and clothing and are a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, a leading alliance for sustainable production. They use sustainable fabrics whenever possible like organic cotton, modal (carbon neutral and biodegradable fabric made from Eucalyptus trees) and tencel (carbon neutral and biodegradable fabric made from Beech trees).

When it comes to women’s swimwear, striking a balance between style and functionality can often feel like a daunting task. However, Carve Designs has effortlessly mastered this art, offering a range of swimwear that not only looks fabulous but also performs exceptionally well in various water activities. Founded in 2003 by two adventurous women, Jennifer Hinton and Thayer Sylvester, Carve Designs was born out of a passion for surfing and an understanding of what women truly need in swimwear.

Carve Philosophy

What sets Carve Designs apart is its commitment to designing swimwear that celebrates the female form while catering to the active lifestyles of today’s women. Their philosophy revolves around creating pieces that are not only fashionable but also comfortable and practical. Whether you’re catching waves, lounging by the pool, or exploring a tropical beach, Carve Designs swimwear promises to deliver.

Style and Diversity

One of the standout features of Carve Designs swimwear is its wide range of styles and sizes, catering to diverse body types and personal preferences. From classic one-piece swimsuits that offer both coverage and elegance to flattering bikini tops and bottoms that can be mixed and matched, there’s something for every woman. Their designs often incorporate vibrant prints and colors inspired by nature, ensuring that each piece feels fresh and timeless.

Functionality and Performance

Beyond aesthetics, Carve Designs places a strong emphasis on functionality and performance. Many of their swimsuits are crafted from high-quality fabrics that provide UPF protection, making them ideal for long days under the sun. The materials are also quick-drying and stretchy, allowing for freedom of movement whether you’re swimming, paddleboarding, or engaging in beach volleyball.

Inclusivity and Sustainability

Carve Designs is also committed to inclusivity and sustainability. They strive to offer extended sizing options to accommodate a wide range of body shapes and sizes. Additionally, they use eco-friendly materials whenever possible and prioritize ethical manufacturing practices. This dedication to sustainability aligns with the growing demand among consumers for environmentally responsible fashion choices.
