# SLOW beachwear
> Women's luxury beachwear brand. Designed and made in Latvia with Italian CARVICO fabrics. Founded in 2016 by fashion stylist Elīna Štobe.
SLOW beachwear creates premium swimsuits, cover-ups, and resort wear for women who value comfort, design, and quality. The brand breaks the convention that beachwear is seasonal — SLOW is about a state of mind, not a calendar. All pieces are produced in Latvia using fabrics from CARVICO, one of Italy's leading swimwear textile manufacturers.
SLOW was the first luxury brand in the Baltic states to create a beachwear collection for brides.
