What FISCH does

FISCH is a privately held, New York-area luxury swimwear and resort wear brand founded in 2017 by the Fischer family. The brand designs and sells women's swimwear — one-pieces, bikinis, and coordinating vacation wear — using ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated nylon fiber made from abandoned fishing nets and other nylon waste, with all garments handmade in Italy from fabric woven in Lombardy. The product catalog spans 137 SKUs priced between $45 and $500+, with flagship one-pieces around $310-360 USD, bikinis at $125-175, and kaftans and resort wear at $450-500.

The business operates a primarily direct-to-consumer model through fischswim.com, supplemented by a curated set of premium wholesale partners including Bergdorf Goodman, Net-A-Porter, and select boutiques in Saint Barthélemy, Dallas, Toronto, and the UK. The customer base is affluent women seeking sustainable, statement luxury swimwear for resort and travel occasions, with celebrity placements (Gigi Hadid, Elsa Hosk, Devon Windsor) and editorial coverage in Vogue, Porter Magazine, and l'Officiel driving brand awareness. FISCH differentiates through its ECONYL®-only material commitment, signature Painted Leo print, Italian craftsmanship, and a 1%-of-sales donation to Healthy Seas for ghost fishing net cleanup. The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional funding and is currently active with SS26 collections in market.

Core offering

FISCH designs, manufactures, and sells women's luxury swimwear (one-piece swimsuits and bikini separates) and matching resort/vacation wear (kaftans, sarongs, linen tops, shirts, shorts, and wrap skirts). Every garment is made in Italy from ECONYL® regenerated nylon woven in Lombardy, with pricing ranging from $140 for bikini separates to $360+ for one-pieces and up to $500 for kaftans. Sales occur primarily through the brand's own e-commerce site, supplemented by curated premium department stores and boutiques globally.

Product overview

FISCH is an eco-innovative luxury swimwear brand launched in 2017, offering a unified collection of sustainable women's swimwear and resort wear made exclusively from ECONYL® - a 100% regenerated nylon fiber crafted from abandoned fishing nets and nylon waste. The product portfolio centers on signature one-piece swimsuits (Regatta, Brigantine, Rhiannon, Ria) and bikinis (Hera, Gaia, Calypso, Nika, Cleo, Cossyra, Minerva, Colombier, Corossol, Medea, Melusine, Conchiglia, Dinzey, Chanzy, Coco, Cayes, Sucre, Lezard, Capitale, Dolci, Taini, Lorient, Italia) alongside resort wear pieces (Volante Sarong, Porto Mini Sarong, Nova Linen Wrap Top, Sirocco Shirt, Taleen Mini Kaftan, Thalassa Kaftan, Gadir Linen Shorts, Vela Shorts, Calliope Wrap Skirt, Tracino Cropped Shirt). The brand is distinguished by its signature Painted Leo print (the original leopard pattern created by the Creative Director), the SS26 Pink Shark Eye print, and the Gustavia Saint Barth print. All products are handmade in Italy from fabric woven in Lombardy, with the fabric mill located within two hours of the factory to minimize carbon footprint. FISCH positions itself as a pioneer in upcycled materials, with over 60,000 tonnes of abandoned ghost fishing nets estimated to linger in oceans, taking over 600 years to break down naturally.
