About Flores de Melo

Brazil-born Gabriella Melo is a passionate traveller, storyteller and bikini wearer. Now permanently based in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, she has lived in and travelled to some of the world’s most unique destinations. She refined her eye for European-style design while graduating from the Parsons School of Design in Paris, a branch of the highly respected Lower Manhattan design School in New York. With a strong belief in having an adventurous spirit, we understands the importance of being comfortable in your own skin, being bold, feeling confident and living life spontaneously. Flores de Melo was born from the frustration in finding comfortable all-day swimwear your average high-street stores are filled with big-box brands offering oversized bottoms, uncomfortable tops and generic prints with no stories behind them. After 3 years of intense researching, fabric sampling and print-method testing, Flores de Melo is committed to bringing you the brightest and most comfortable swimwear you’ve ever experienced! Behind every piece there’s Flores de Melo artful storytelling. Each of our unique prints celebrates one of the more remote settings of the world, and for each design, we share our stories of the authentic cultures that inspired them. For the women who are confident in their own bodies, bold in their choices, and always on the lookout for an adventure. We celebrate your confidence, your body and your sense of fun!Read their story
