ABOUT THE CO-FOUNDERS //
Co-founders Kristen and Jordana met on a summer day in 2009 on New York's Lower East Side. The two quickly bonded over the great outdoors, bikini's and how all they needed for a weekend out of the city was a hammock, a hat and a sturdy pair of hiking boots.
Jordana Longo is a bicoastal stylist, FIT graduate and entrepreneur. From a very early age, her favorite outfit, rain, shine, sleet or snow, was her bathing suit. Not much has changed. Whether it's a trip to London, India, Guatemala or Copenhagen, a bikini is the first thing she packs. She credits her extensive travels in refining her eye for design. Previously she was the culture editor at Stylesight, in PR at Stella McCartney and has contributed and collaborated with RANGE Magazine, The Block Magazine and BBGUN Films.
Kristen Cleary is a swimwear connoisseur, Ohio State business graduate and creative creature. She has over ten years experience working as a buyer and merchandiser in the swim and active industries; spending a majority of her career building and launching these respective businesses at Victoria's Secret. On a typical day, you will most likely find Kristen on the beach, off the beaten path, uncovering places yet to be discovered. So, it's with no surprise she has been known to sleep with sand in her bed. Kristen loves cultivating her passion for outdoor photography.
