About SOS
Swell Obsessed Swimwear is a whimsical, contemporary women's swimwear line, centered in imagination, sustainability, and versatility. Anything but basic, SOS's trademark seamless designs are multi-functional and versatile. Most pieces are transitional both in and out of the water & from day to night.
Inspired by adventure, self-love, nature, beauty, magic, and freedom, we encourage women to daydream, create, take chances, risk it all and start looking at their life in a different way.
The SOS Woman has been forged by her experiences and doesn't regret her past nor does she wish to shut the door on it. She is a wild child at heart with an insatiable appetite for life.
Comfort driven but never shy on style, SOS pieces have become the favorite for women who crave quality, smart design, and a dreamy overtone. Less time fussing and more time living is at the core of our design intention. A variety of styles and cuts are offered to include, rather than exclude, staying true to our motto- let YOU shine through.
VISION:
let YOU shine through
MISSION:
We keep it simple and stick to trustworthy solids. We focus on versatility and wearability to offer minimal design with maximum impact. YOU wear your suit, Siren. The suit shouldn't wear you.
VALUES:
1. CHOICE
We aim to offer customization options in an effort to suit individual preferences. From strap lengths, coverage options, color ways, and silhouettes- we strive to make YOU the best fitting garment possible to suit your needs- regardless of body shape, skin/hair/eye combo, or age.
2. QUALITY
We pride ourselves in utilizing the highest quality fabrics we can get our hands on. Our fabrics are chlorine resistant, are rated UV 50, latex-free, and super soft. Our suits actually hold up beautifully even when put through machine wash (cold, delicates cycle, gentle detergents) and air drying (or tumble dry without heat). All our pieces are double-lined in order to maintain a seamless/reversible aesthetic and offer a secure level of compression & coverage on the body. Nothing of ours is made in a sweatshop- everything is ethically made by women in Puerto Rico. We take our precious time to ensure each product complies within our standards for craftsmanship and assembly criteria.
3. VERSATILITY
We keep our designs and construction elements functional and smart in order to serve you the maximum amount of versatility when wearing. Most of our pieces can be worn or tied multiple ways, granting you adaptability when pairing your suit with the rest of your wardrobe. With good fabric and timeless designs, our pieces are meant for a lifetime of use- not just a season. You may buy it for a vacay, but end up wearing it forever.
4. SIMPLICITY
YOU wear your suit- the suit shouldn't wear you. We stray away from trend-driven prints and place an emphasis on helping YOU be the center of attention when wearing SOS. We offer trustworthy staples by working with solid colors only- serving as the backbone to your wardrobe. We all know the foundation to a solid closet is built with quality "basics".
5. SUSTAINABILITY
Not only do we address sustainability by giving you a product that will surf the echelons of life, but we take it a step further by following a made-to-order business model. We eliminate surplus issues within our supply chain by producing inventory strictly on an "as needed" basis. We are proud players within the slow fashion movement and any product purchased through swellobsessed.com has been cut and sewn just for you- as per your request. Want more Core Score?
