In 2015 I was your average college graduate, feeling unfulfilled, uninterested and not sure about the career path I was on. I plunged into something I knew nothing about and dedicated all of my time to create my own swimwear label. People judged me, doubted me, told me I was stupid and I had no chance of being successful in such a competitive industry. But what I had was an immense passion and dri
ve because of how swimwear made me feel. Growing up a Florida native my life was surrounded by the ocean: fishing, boating, beaching, scalloping, lobstering, kayaking, the list goes on. If I was in a bikini all day long, I knew I was doing something right. All my success comes from repetitions of trial, error and FAILURE. I have learned in order to make progess in this business, you need to understand and learn every aspect of the trade. So I spent hours, days and weeks learning how to cut, sew, and stitch bikinis from scratch. It was a time of immense frustration, confusion and discouragement. Did I mention lots of frustration?! Fast forward almost two years later, HaleyRaye Swimwear has blossomed into something I could have only dreamed about. In this business, one customer can make or break you. It is my mission to have the best quality, fit, and style you ladies want and deserve. Which is why I personally cut, sew, and stitch your swimwear, because you work hard and deserve nothing but the best. I value your opinions, I want your feedback and remember I am here to serve you. I hope when my customers put on my brand they feel confident, proud, beautiful and inspired. No matter what it is that you do, remember to aggressively pursue your dreams, be selfish when you need to be, and stop at nothing to turn your visions into reality. If you fail...... try again and again. My vision did not blossom from day one, month one or even my first year. Persistence, drive, and yearning to achieve your dreams will get you where ever it is you want to be. Just remember to work HARD, GO for it and WANT it. Youโll be glad you did.
