The Swim Source partners with emerging and established brands to design, manufacture, and source swimwear and ready-to-wear — from first sketch to finished good.
The Swim Source works at the intersection of design and manufacturing — helping brands move from concept to finished product without losing sight of fit, fabric, or margin.
We specialize in swimwear and ready-to-wear, with deep relationships across overseas and domestic factories, mills, and trim suppliers. Whether you need a single capsule sourced or a full seasonal line managed end to end, we bring the technical and creative sides together.
