Los Angeles based swimsuit specialists Sauipe Swimwear ( pronounced Sow-eep-ay) is renowned for multiple features in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue. Inspired by Costa do Sauipe in the Bahia state of Brazil,  Sauipe Swimwear creates supremely sexy-yet-wearable collections of swimwear and coordinating cover-ups using high-quality textiles, exclusive patterns and hand-finishes.

Its 2011 collection is inspired by early 20^th Century accessories and sensibilities.Sauipe has endowed this year’s collection with feathers, embellishments and jewel tones harking back to the days of flappers and boyish looks.  Following this inspiration, Sauipe made a departure from the brand’s traditionally sexy/sporty styles, and focused on voluptuous and often generous cuts in glamorous colors, decorative hardware and feathered inspired prints.  The result: sophisticated pieces for well-traveled, fashion-forward women of stylee. No longer confined by the stereotypical “teeny bikini,” this boutique Brazilian-designed line has expanded its repertoire to include a more mature, luxury set of silhouettes perfectly suited to the sophisticated swimwear experience. Whether lounging poolside at a resort or aboard a yacht, this collection combines refined functionality with a stylish sexy fit.
