Vitamin A
California-made luxury swim, woven from recycled fibers since 2000.
Vitamin A is California luxury swim, built for the way you live by the water. The line spans one-pieces, bikinis, knit beachwear, and resort linen, all woven from EcoLux, the brand's proprietary recycled-fiber swim fabric.
Over two decades in, the formula has not really changed. Effortless coastal silhouettes, recycled-fiber fabrics, and a relationship to California that is unhurried, confident, and a little sun-bleached. Vitamin A reads less like a trend and more like a uniform for the way you actually live by the water.
This Spring/Summer, the brand's Lines of the Land collection draws on California's wildflower superbloom, threading hand-painted prints and vibrant golds into the classic Vitamin A silhouettes. It is the kind of swim you keep, not the kind you replace.

Founder & Creative DirectorA California native and former designer at Patagonia under Yvon Chouinard, Amahlia founded Vitamin A in 2000 to prove that style and sustainability could share a fitting room. She pioneered EcoLux, a luxury swim fabric made from recycled fibers, and built the brand around effortless coastal silhouettes designed to last across seasons.
EcoLux is woven from recycled fibers including reclaimed fishing nets and post-consumer plastic waste, blended into a luxury swim fabric.
Vitamin A partners with ThredUp so customers can resell or responsibly recycle their pieces at end of life.
The brand works with vertically integrated production facilities, where dyeing, knitting, and finishing all happen in one location to reduce the carbon footprint.

Vitamin A is the brand that made luxury sustainable swim feel inevitable. Amahlia's pioneering work with EcoLux happened when most premium brands were still cutting from virgin nylon, and the brand has held its register the whole way through. Effortless, coastal, and quietly committed.
