Letarte Swim Swimwear

Designers and sisters Lisa Letarte Cabrinha and Michele Letarte Ross have made an indelible mark on swim fashion for the last decade.  Since 2000, they have collaborated on styles and prints that bring Hawaii’s island mentality home as Letarte swimwear.  The results of their work thus far have been impressive; their swimsuits have speckled the pages of multiple Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions, including a few covers.  Their work has also appeared in several other publications like People, In Style, and Self magazines.  Their work has earned the endorsement of Hollywood celebrities and the adoration of fashionistas.

Letarte is more than just bathing suits, of course. The sisters have also designed cover-ups and sportswear that equally reflect the light and breezy atmosphere of their home on Maui.  Dresses and tunics of all shapes and sizes, crochet shorts and skirts, several styles of soleil pants, and even a few cami tops complement the plethora of bikinis, one-pieces, and rashguard tops.  In all, they offer dozens and dozens of different styles to choose from, all with a bright, sunny disposition with which they grew up.

Today their business is spreading.  With a beautiful flagship store operating smoothly on Maui, Letarte has been busy working the scene.  Fashion shows, cruises, and other events are frequently featuring styles from the sisters, and their, online store, accessible from either their company’s website or their Facebook page, ensures quick delivery of great looks. With a dozen outfits featured in the last SI swimsuit edition, this year promises great things for two siblings who have changed the face of swim fashion for the last ten years.
