2018 - This journey started when I was just 19. I was raised with the belief that anything is possible, and every dream is within reach. I love to travel and explore, and I’m a geek for details. During my last year of high school, i was sketching bikinis just for fun. It was when my dad walked past and saw my designs, we sat down to explore the idea of creating bikinis. My creative mind was excited about offering so many different possibilities through bikini collections. We found a reliable supplier and started up. After sketching my first designs and receiving the initial samples, I was thrilled. My own designs had become real products. We visited the manufacturer to ensure everything would go smoothly.
2020 - However, the venture paused as I decided to spend a year at ESMOD fashion design in Oslo. That year passed, but my dream remained. After ESMOD, I decided to travel by myself to push my boundaries. I started the journey with my dad in Thailand. 14 days flew by, and ill never forget that evening, saying goodbye to each other. I was so scared. This was it, i was off to Australia. I suddenly felt so lonely. That solo trip changed everything. It reminded me that anything is possible, every dream can come true. And here I am, aware of the tough path ahead but determined to make it work. This is my dream. Theres no plan B.

I have been fortunate enough to explore the world from a very young age. These experiences fuel my creativity as I design each collection without boundaries. My inspiration stems from the escapism I feel during my travels – dreaming of remote islands, the beauty of a perfect wave, white sandy beaches, the colors of sunsets, and the wonders of nature collected from all around the world. Not to forget the stunning scenery of my home country, Norway, with its fantasy landscape and world-class beaches.
There are endless possibilities to explore, and when it comes to designing new collections, my inspiration knows no limits. At Isla Bikini, we are dedicated to creating swimwear that looks amazing and makes you feel incredible, no matter where your adventures take you. And it should be affordable.
