About

Everything at Avera Studio begins with the body.
Real bodies. 
Bodies that have carried children.
Bodies shaped by illness, surgery, or major life changes.
Bodies in transition.

Avera creates swimwear designed with care. Our designs are simple, calm, and feminine. We work with high-quality materials offering UV protection and produce in Europe with a focus on comfort, longevity, and craftsmanship.

Avera was born from a need to protect my own skin and body. After having a breast removed and being treated for skin cancer, I needed swimwear with high UV protection and more covering silhouettes. I had visible scars on both my chest and stomach that required full protection from the sun.

It was difficult to find. What existed either carried a surfer aesthetic, or felt clinical — designed for post-surgical recovery. I simply wanted swimwear that allowed me to feel normal. And feminine.

I missed swimwear that showed consideration for the life I have lived.
A body that has changed. Skin that needs protection.

Avera is my answer to that absence.
