MARYSIA is one of the chicest swimwear brands around and is easily identified by it’s signature hand-cut scallop trim design.
A trained ballerina, and a keen surfer, Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves knew what she needed from her swimwear: it had to sculpt, support and define, whilst also looking fashion-forward.
Here, we delve into Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves’ suitcase psyche for a dose of sartorial escapism.
