    'I wanted to have a patterned swimsuit and was so pleased to see your designs on swimwear items. I am generally a pool swimmer but would wear my World Oceans Day swimsuit on the beach too. The fit is great! Not as 'cheeky' as the description suggested but that suits me fine. Ordering was easy and to get a made to order item in 10 days was brilliant.'

    'I am a scuba instructor based in the Caribbean. When I saw the Reef Fish Rashguard, I knew I had to have it - after all, I love our beautiful reefs and reef fish are its caretakers. Order process was super easy and well organised. I had additional information regarding my delivery address; the response was swift and competent. I ordered a size small; fits true to size; and I could not be happier. It's well made; super soft yet durable enough for daily use. It's now my go-to daily rashie.'

We had a wonderful morning today painting the Matterhorn, local heather stems, wildflowers and experimenting with watercolour. It was so good to see everyone’s interpretations, what they enjoyed most, and have lots of good conversation! Thank
