About Selfish Swimwear

Selfish Swimwear is a Montréal brand of slow fashion swimsuits, handmade from recycled fibres. It has a studio boutique on Saint-Laurent, where the suits are designed and sold.

Its swimsuits suit people who want beachwear that lasts more than one summer and is made with less waste. Trying suits on in person at the studio helps you find a cut you feel good in. A new swimsuit is a nice thing to pick up before a cottage weekend, a trip south in winter or a day at a Montreal pool. It is a local, low-waste alternative to fast fashion swimwear.
