March at Azura Swimwear

We always like to do a monthly recap here at Azura Swimwear, to bring you up to speed with what’s been happening in the exciting world of women’s swimwear!

This month, Azura Swimwear celebrated its 3 month anniversary… and what a month - actually, what a 3 months it has been!

The month of March saw a lot of media action for Azura Swimwear and our women’s swimwear designers Beach Bunny Swimwear, Sauvage, Red Carter and Birdie Jo.

Perhaps the highlight of the media frenzy was the release of the highly anticipated 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This year’s Sports Illustrated was a jam-packed, model-filled, swimwear-laden gem (as always!) which featured a total of 4 of our designer swimwear collections including Red Carter, Sauvage, Beach Bunny Swimwear and Birdie Jo. Beach Bunny Swimwear in particular was featured about 9 times - a huge achievement. In fact, any mention in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is an incredible achievement, so we congratulate all our women’s swimwear designers on their success.

If you’d like to view our designer swimwear collection, or shop for one of the swimsuits as seen in Sports Illustrated, click here to start shopping now.

As you may imagine, it’s been a busy month on the shopping side of things here at Azura Swimwear, with everyone wanting a little piece of the swimwear action! Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue picks Lady Lace by Beach Bunny and Spellbound by Beach Bunny have been hugely popular sellers. And while they didn’t get a Sports Illustrated feature, other big Beach Bunny Swimwear favorites have been the Lyin’ Eyes and Secret Garden. From our other designers, In Uniform by Red Carter (both in cream and brown), Black Signature Cut by Maya Swimwear and Mod Floral Mint by Birdie Jo Swimwear have been very popular. But the pick of the month has definitely been Cobalt Crystal by Sauvage Swimwear. It’s not hard to understand why…

If you’d like to purchase Cobalt Crystal by Sauvage or find out a little more about the one-of-a-kind bikini, simply click here now!

Speaking of Sauvage, in case you missed our posts on Sauvage’s recent press coverage, Sauvage Swimwear has been featured in 4 magazines so far, including Instyle, Cosmopolitan, Vogue and Sports Illustrated. Our very own Jade Mountain 2, which we sell right here at azuraswimwear.com, was the beautiful bikini selected for Cosmo.

As we head into April, we can only imagine how much busier it’s going to get - it’s not even summer yet and the vibe is electric! Without divulging too much right now, we already know of at least three more magazine features where you’ll find our beautiful women’s swimwear designers… as well as Azura Swimwear! That’s right, Azura Swimwear has already been listed in Vogue and has a couple more (at the very least!) to come.

If you haven’t yet bought yourself a swimsuit for summer, make sure to do so soon! There are some incredible women’s swimsuits and bikinis to choose from here at Azura Swimwear… the only problem is choosing which one…

Until next time, happy swimwear shopping!

Selling swimwear online…

One of the best things about the internet is the range of different people you get to meet, and from all around the world.

Here at Azura Swimwear, we have customers stationed throughout the United States, as well as Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. It’s incredibly interesting from a geographical viewpoint, particularly as your mind wanders to these holiday destinations far and wide.

For me, it’s inspiring to think about the different lives that we all lead, the different cultures that we live in and all the different experiences we have as a result.

But what I love most is being able to share mutual interests, passions and loves with each other, in spite of the distances between us. Having spoken to many of our customers, swimwear is one of those things.

I know my partner feels the same way and we actually talk about it often. She tells me of customers who have come across a particular swimwear designer during their travels, like Maya Swimwear, and have fallen in love with the brand. Then, upon returning home, haven’t been able to find it again and have only been able to find it again online. People are just so happy, she tells me, once they have, and it’s great to be part of that experience, to get a little giddy about the swimsuits with them. It’s like discovering the particular swimsuit or swimwear brand all over again.

I think swimwear more than anything can cause you to fall hopelessly in love with a brand, or a particular cut. It is so sensual and sexy, and especially with designer swimwear, so striking.

I myself often speak with people living in other parts of the globe who haven’t come across some of our designer swimwear labels before. Their love of our designer swimwear collections and their appreciation of the different swimwear styles crystallizes my decision to work in this industry, and makes me appreciate it all the more. It’s such a pleasure to be able to bring something from one part of the world, like Beach Bunny from the US, and offer it to someone living in a completely different part, like in Denmark.

I have some friends living in Sydney, Australia, a fashion-conscious, swimwear savvy city who were blown away by the swimwear they saw on azuraswimwear.com. There are some gorgeous swimwear labels based in Australia (don’t worry, they’re coming soon!), so I can only take that as the biggest of compliments. But again, it was great to share something different with them, swimwear styles that would be so at home within the white sand beaches of Sydney, but equally unique too.

One girlfriend in particular couldn’t stop talking about Spellbound by Beach Bunny Swimwear. I even got an email from her at 2am about it! It just goes to show what passion beautiful swimwear can evoke in people!

We will be expanding our designer swimwear collection in the very near future, and with swimwear brands from all around the world, including Brazil and Italy. But true to our ethos, only the very best brands and the finest designer swimwear collections.

I look forward to speaking to more of you and to sharing with you a love for gorgeous designer swimsuits…
