Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Ashlea, founder and designer of Ashlea Baker Swimwear.
In 2019, I started learning how to sew and quickly discovered a natural ability and passion. I soon left my corporate job behind to focus on building a small, independent brand creating sustainable swimwear made by hand.
Everything you see here is designed and made by me in my UK-based sewing studio. I work in small quantities and create original designs you won’t find anywhere else, focusing on quality rather than mass production.
Feminism is important to me and I want women to feel comfortable, confident, and empowered when wearing my designs.
Thanks so much for being here. I hope you enjoy exploring my pieces.
