vitamin A
Vitamin A is a pioneering sustainable swimwear brand founded in 2000 by California native Amahlia Stevens in Laguna Beach. The brand revolutionized the swimwear industry by creating EcoLux, the first premium swim fabric made from recycled nylon fibers, after Stevens was inspired by her work with Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard. Known for its chic simplicity and body-positive approach, Vitamin A introduced the concept of mix-and-match bikini separates and is often called the "Little Black Dress of swimwear."
The brand has garnered a cult following among A-list celebrities and tastemakers for its effortlessly elegant designs rooted in authentic Californian beach culture. All pieces are designed and manufactured locally in California using sustainable materials including recycled fabrics and plant-based fibers. Beyond swimwear, Vitamin A has expanded to include eco-friendly beachwear and resort wear, maintaining its commitment to sustainability while delivering timeless, figure-flattering pieces that embody natural sexiness and modern sophistication.
