Our Story
Meet the Visionaries Behind Natapartenope: Tiny and Silvia
Welcome to Natapartenope, where our story is as unique as our swimwear.
Founded by Tiny and Silvia, Natapartenope is a culmination of diverse backgrounds, shared passions, and a commitment to sustainable fashion.
Our journey began in the vibrant city of Naples, where Tiny, a Vietnamese raised in Poland, and Silvia, an Italian born in Texas, crossed paths.
Bonding over their love for fashion and shared experiences, they embarked on a collaborative venture to redefine swimwear.
​
Craftsmanship is another cornerstone of Natapartenope. Each bikini is meticulously handmade in the artisanal workshops of southern Italy, where traditional techniques are passed down through generations. Our swimwear is a testament to the skill and dedication of these artisans, who bring our designs to life with precision and care.
At Natapartenope, we are dedicated to the art of craftsmanship. We handpick our sewing labs with meticulous care, ensuring that each artisan shares our passion for quality and precision. Under our guidance, our skilled staff meticulously sew and finish seamlines, paying close attention to every detail. At the heart of our process lies our commitment to pattern development and fitting, which we undertake ourselves. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain full control over the production process, ensuring that each piece meets our exacting standards of excellence. From concept to creation, we pour our expertise and dedication into every garment, ensuring that each Natapartenope piece is a true reflection of our commitment to craftsmanship and quality.
​
We believe in the power of storytelling. Our brand name is inspired by the legend of Partenope, a mermaid whose grace and beauty shaped the coast of Naples. Like Partenope, our brand celebrates love, unity, and cultural diversity, weaving together elements from our diverse backgrounds to create something truly special.
​
Sustainability lies at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by using 100% recycled ECONYL® fiber, proudly made in Italy, for our swimwear. By choosing recycled materials and partnering with local artisans, we strive to minimize waste and contribute to a healthier planet.
