#39 Amber Boyers | Building A $8 Million Per Year Swimwear Label & Helping Women Feel Their Best

In this episode, I sat down with Amber Boyers, the founder of the ethical swimwear brand, Baiia Swimwear.

Amber launched the swimwear brand Baiia in 2016 while working three jobs and managing a successful fashion blog. The brand features inclusive, ethical swimwear and tailoring services for those who have undergone a mastectomy and would like extra comfort while breastfeeding or want the suit to fit them perfectly. 

The brand initially took off after a Facebook post promoting the original Baiia three-piece wrap suit caught women’s attention. Baiia swimwear focuses on wrap-style designs that complement natural curves and beauty.

Amber's love for sustainable fashion was drawn out through her earlier upbringing in a small town in the Solomon Islands. During her early childhood, her creativity flourished as she roamed freely amongst the seaside in her favourite swimsuits.

The company has since grown to 13 employees and reached over $8 Million in revenue last year,

this brand will continue to empower women worldwide and be a catalyst in the move towards sustainable, innovative and beautiful fashion.
