Our Roots

Founder & CEO, Emily LaPlume started Saturday Swimwear after spending time studying and traveling abroad. She set out to create something that embodied all of the beautiful places she had been, so Emily taught herself to design and sew and, within months, Saturday Swimwear was born.

During her travels, Emily noticed the devastating effects of over-consumption, pollution, and the fast fashion industry. Emily understood that as a maker she must also be a mover and a shaker. That is why she decided to shift the entire focus of the company towards being more sustainable.

In 2022, Emily thoughtfully outsourced her production to a woman-owned sew studio here in the USA where we now manufacture all of our high-quality swimwear in small batches.

Emily is continuing to learn and grow within the fashion and sustainability spaces and encourages consumers and brands alike to demand transparency within the industry and take steps to become more just, ethical and sustainable.

*NOTE: Since recording this video in 2021, we have outsourced our production to a woman-owned sew studio in Los Angeles, California. All of our pieces are made with the same high-quality standards as before. Our sew studio maintains the best working conditions for all employees. We are so grateful to have a production partner whose values align so seamlessly with ours

OUR TEAM

Small but mighty. Saturday Swimwear is led by our Founder, Emily LaPlume, and powered by a team of badass women across design, production, marketing, and sales — plus our production studio in Los Angeles, where every suit is made.

We're also lucky to be surrounded by incredible photographers, models, artists, friends, and family who make this brand what it is. We wouldn't be here without them, or without you.

Thank you for your support along this journey. We look forward to continuing to change the world, one sustainable swimsuit at a time.
