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.
