What beachcandy swimwear does

BeachCandy Swimwear, operating as BeachCandy Organics, is a privately held, women-owned direct-to-consumer apparel brand founded in 2011 by Brittney "Brit B" Arthur in Newport Beach, California. The company sells organic swimwear, underwear, clothing, and lifestyle essentials made from natural fibers (hemp and organic cotton) dyed with plant-based colorants such as turmeric and indigo, alongside a legacy synthetic Swarovski-embellished line being phased out. Core technology assets include GOTS-certified organic textiles, small-batch production in a Los Angeles design studio of fewer than five people, a GOTS-certified manufacturing partnership with an artisan facility in India using traditional fermentation dyeing, and a proprietary fit system refined over fourteen years of customer feedback with size coverage from XS to XXL and cup sizes A through E. The brand holds four registered trademarks, including THE BILLIONAIRE BIKINI and Signature Swarovski Candy, and has accumulated celebrity endorsements and Sports Illustrated editorial placements.

The company's revenue model is primarily one-time direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales through its Shopify storefront beachcandyswimwear.com, with prices ranging from $20 clearance items to $899 luxury pieces and free US shipping over $200. Secondary channels include gift cards ($50-$1,000 denominations) and wholesale distribution through a small set of luxury resort and boutique accounts: Diane's Beachwear (California), Dulcinea Boutique at Omni Montelucia (Scottsdale), Mandalay Bay Resort (Las Vegas), and Capri Boutique at Bellagio (Las Vegas). The go-to-market blends product-led DTC with community-led engagement through a VIP Ambassador Program targeting clean-living advocates, a monthly Real Women Shine podcast distributed on Apple, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, and Instagram-led organic social under @beachcandyorganics, supplemented by earned media coverage in Sports Illustrated, E! News, Coastal Living, and other lifestyle outlets. The company employs between one and ten people, is incorporated in California, has received no institutional funding, and operates globally via international shipping from Los Angeles.

Core offering

BeachCandy Swimwear (also doing business as BeachCandy Organics) designs, manufactures, and sells organic swimwear, underwear, activewear, clothing, and lifestyle essentials made from natural fibers such as hemp and organic cotton. The brand's forward-facing line is 100% organic, plant-dyed, GOTS-aligned, and handcrafted in small batches in Los Angeles, with companion offerings including hand-beaded Swarovski crystal luxury pieces (e.g., THE BILLIONAIRE BIKINI), non-toxic mineral sunscreen, pure copper lifestyle products, and wellness accessories.

Product overview

BeachCandy Organics is a women-owned e-commerce brand offering a dual product strategy: (1) the Organic Swim Collection featuring 100% natural fiber swimwear and sauna suits made from hemp and cotton blends, representing the brand's forward-facing commitment to non-toxic, sustainable fashion; and (2) the Synthetic Farewell Designs legacy swimwear line made from nylon/spandex with signature Swarovski crystal beading, being phased out as the brand transitions fully to organic materials. The portfolio spans swimwear, activewear, organic underwear, resort wear, non-toxic skincare (including mineral sunscreen and BEAUTY SHAMANS wellness tools), copper lifestyle products, and accessories like the original Bikini Organizer. Founded in 2011 in Newport Beach, California, the brand operates on a Shopify e-commerce platform with manufacturing in Los Angeles and India.
