R.Heller swimwear is a testament to the exuberance and sophistication for which each locale is known. In approaching her debut collection as a Korean and African American woman of the world, the designer knew she wanted to create an aesthetic that was authentic and close to her heart.

Taking inspiration from her extensive travels across the globe to exotic destinations, ranging from Brazil to Vietnam, R.Heller is a culmination of unforgettable experiences and treasured moments abroad that have spanned a lifetime with one aim in mind: to undertake a collection of swimwear that is a true expression of her artistic vigor and continual search for adventure.

That adventurous spirit is evident in the vivid prints and exotic cut that the designer regards as an improvement on an old favorite: The Brazilian Bikini.

R.Heller designs pair the essential elements of fashion with functionality to create a fit that is truly unique.

The traditional Brazilian cut has been given a decidedly modern upgrade with bottoms that provide a higher waist and tops cut slightly wider. This allows for a bit more coverage to suit the active SoCal lifestyle, while maintaining an exceedingly European sensibility to swimwear that is bold, free spirited, and chic.
