New lifestyle label AZiiNA is the creation of Andrea Karsas, a London based designer born in South Africa with Cypriot nationality and raised in a seaside suburb in Athens, Greece. Her international background and love of travel is cemented in the AZiiNA brand ethos, offering styles in premium fabrics for the modern day nomad.
“At the moment the brand focuses on swim and resortwear,” said Andrea. “As we grow we aspire to offer a transitional wardrobe that can be adapted to every season, a summer dress you can throw a cosy knit on top of, a backless top you can wear a blazer over until it’s time to take it off, a swimsuit you can wear as a body or as a bralette under a transparent blouse when not at the beach.”
AZiiNA focuses on making the entire process from design to manufacturing as ethical and sustainable as possible, making quality pieces that flatter the body without being determined exclusively by trends – pieces that can be worn and loved forever. All fabrics are sourced from factories within Europe, and the swimwear is manufactured in Greece using Italian fabrics made with LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™.
