Yes. Sustainability is woven into our brand philosophy.

Ola Chica bikinis are specifically designed for active women who enjoy water sports and beach adventures. Each piece is tested by professional surfers, swimmers, and other water athletes to ensure it stays secure in motion. The bikinis are handmade in small batches with high-quality, durable fabrics. They combine fashion, comfort, and functionality so you can move freely without adjusting your swimwear. Bright patterns, flattering cuts, and versatile designs make them suitable for every type of water activity.
Our UV protection swimwear features UPF 50+ fabrics, which block over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. This level of protection helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, and long-term skin damage — especially important for surfers and beach lovers who spend hours outdoors.
All swimwear is designed by Aylana Zanville, a pro surfer from Santa Cruz, California. Her personal surfing experiences inspired the brand, especially the need for bikinis that stay in place. Each design is made to offer a flattering fit, comfort, and reliable performance in and out of the water. Handmade craftsmanship ensures attention to detail in every piece. The designs reflect both athletic requirements and modern beach fashion.
