Sustainable Swimwear That Actually Fits with Tiffany Asamoah of BOLD Swim

Ep 142: Sustainable Swimwear That Actually Fits with Tiffany Asamoah of BOLD Swim Part of noseyAF's 31 Days of Black Business series 🖤 She went looking for a swimsuit before a vacation. Nothing past a size large.

Nobody in the marketing looked like her. Tiffany Asamoah found a tailor, watched her make one, and started asking better questions.

BOLD Swim is sustainable swimwear designed to fit and feel good in and out of the water, and it's since expanded into underwear, accessories, and a scarf collection with an exclusive print. She's been in Madewell, Macy's online, and Walmart online.

What We Talk About What sustainability actually means in manufacturing, what greenwashing looks like, and why a four dollar shirt costs somebody something Why there's a size ten and a twelve but never an eleven, and what it takes technically to change that How her customers taught her the swimwear was also underwear and shapewear, and how that changed the brand The unexpected turn: the biggest thing new business owners get wrong is thinking the website and the product are the business If you love a conversation that changes how you shop, this episode is for you. All about Tiffany Asamoah You're gonna love Tiffany.

She's a former child model turned sustainable fashion founder, a yogi, and a July Fourth baby who grew up with a pool in the backyard. She came up through a corporate sales and leadership career before starting BOLD Swim, and she built the brand around a simple standard: as many bodies as possible, materials that aren't chemically treated, and a supply chain she can actually account for.
