About Novados Swim

Launched in 2021, Novados Swim is an ethically sourced, sustainable and handmade eco-luxe women’s swim and resort collection, on a mission to improve the fashion cycle by returning to high quality, slow production.  Novados is the combination of Creative Director & Owner Ashanté Nicole's parents' origins; Nova Scotia and Barbados. With maternal lineage from Nova Scotia, the love of crocheting and knitting was formed when Ashanté learned both at the age of four. The draw to the ocean and swimwear is derived from her paternal Bajan lineage.  Using materials sourced in the USA and handmade in Miami, Fl, our fun and flirty crochet swimwear collection feature innovative designs in vibrant hues made exclusively from cotton and other naturally derived materials including hemp and bamboo. In addition, our made-to-order nylon suits are created from expertly sourced materials and produced in small quantities to reduce our carbon footprint.Read their story
