About Avera Studio

Our story

Swimwear made with care

At Avera we believe that good design begins with the body. Not an idealised body, but the real one – the one that changes through life.

Avera was created out of a wish to unite aesthetics, comfort and protection in swimwear that takes account of both body and skin. For some women that means scars after illness or surgery. For others it is about skin that has become more sensitive to the sun, or a body that in time calls for a little more support and coverage.

Swimwear sits close to the body, and that is why we believe the design has to be thought through. At Avera we work with carefully selected fabrics with high UV protection, produced in Europe with a focus on quality, durability and responsible production.

The silhouettes are simple, calm and feminine. They are created with care for fit, support and coverage – without compromising on the aesthetics.

Avera is swimwear designed with respect for the body we live in.

Meet the founder

The story of Avera begins with a personal experience and a need for swimwear that was hard to find.

Behind the brand is Anette Togo Thyrsted. When she could not find swimwear that took account of a body with scars and skin that needs more protection, she began to create it herself.

Materials and responsibility

Fewer, better styles – made to last, in quality and in look.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100We use fabrics certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and tested for harmful substances. It is part of our focus on quality and on textiles that feel comfortable against the skin.

Italian quality fabricsWe work with carefully selected Italian textiles, where softness, elasticity and comfort are the priority. The fabrics are chosen with care for each individual design and its fit.

PortugalProduced in close collaboration with experienced manufacturers, where proper working conditions, transparency and respect for the craft are a given.

Small collectionsWe believe in fewer, well-considered designs rather than constant new collections. That is why we produce in limited numbers, with a focus on timeless styles that can be worn season after season.
