Calling all creatives, dreamers and future designers!!

If you’ve been daydreaming about bringing your own swimwear label to life this is your sign.

There’s nothing we love more than seeing new brands come to life, and if your goal is to launch by next summer, now is the perfect moment to begin.

At Haus of Swim, we guide you through every stage from your first sketch to your first collection, helping you create something that feels truly you. We recommend allowing 6 to 8 months from your first idea to your big launch. It might sound like a long time, but trust us - this timeline gives you the freedom to design, refine, and bring your vision to life without stress or compromise.

And remember designing your collection should feel exciting, creative, and fun! It’s the part where your vision starts to take shape, and we’re here to make sure that process feels inspiring, not overwhelming.

__________________________________________________________________________

Your dream label starts with a single decision to begin and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Here’s a little peek into why that timeline is so valuable

Fabric Hunting & Sourcing

One of the most exciting (and sometimes trickiest) parts of the journey. Finding the perfect fabric is everything, from buttery-soft textures to luxurious recycled Italian lycras and dreamy resort linens. It’s about exploring, testing swatches, and discovering what feels most aligned with your brand. This stage sets the tone for your entire collection and when you find the right one, you’ll know.

Custom Details & Embellishments

Those little touches that make your label unforgettable. Whether it’s custom hardware, embroidery, or signature trims, these details take time to design, source, and perfect. But they’re the details that make your collection truly yours and that’s where the magic happens.

Sampling & Fittings

This is where your ideas start to take form and where precision really matters. Swimwear is all about millimeters, so a few sample rounds are completely normal. Each revision helps refine the fit until every piece feels effortless and beautifully made. It’s a process of progress, not perfection, and watching it evolve is one of the most rewarding parts.

Design & Communication

From your first tech pack to final approvals, clear communication is key. Giving yourself time to review, refine, and breathe between steps ensures nothing feels rushed. We want the process to feel collaborative and creative - not chaotic, because your label deserves that kind of attention and energy.

Work–Life Balance

You still have a life outside your label, and it’s important to enjoy this process. Designing your first collection should feel inspiring, not stressful. A little structure and forward planning go a long way in helping you stay organized and in love with what you’re creating. This chapter is meant to be exciting, let yourself enjoy every moment of watching your vision come to life.

When you give yourself the space to plan thoughtfully, everything about this journey becomes so much more enjoyable — it’s calmer, more creative, and so much more rewarding. Designing a label shouldn’t feel rushed or overwhelming; it should feel exciting, intentional, and deeply fulfilling.

Most of our clients begin their development around November to prepare for their next summer collection. It’s the perfect time to start dreaming, designing, and setting your vision in motion. That way, you can move through the process with clarity and confidence and actually enjoy the creative flow along the way.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign this is it. Let’s make 2026 the year your dream label comes to life.

With love, warmth, and sunshine from Bali,
