Founded by Ava Ayache, a student at Parsons School of Design, Esthète offers a modern perspective on swimwear, blending timeless elegance with a contemporary edge. The brand’s name, "Esthète," comes from the French term for "aesthete," referring to a person with a deep appreciation for beauty, art, and refined taste. This reflects our core philosophy: to create swimwear that embodies sophistication and an elevated sense of style, designed for those who value both aesthetics and quality craftsmanship.
Esthète is proud to produce all its pieces exclusively in France. This decision highlights our commitment to ecological responsibility and showcases the renowned expertise of French ateliers. By focusing on local production, we minimize our environmental footprint and ensure that each garment reflects the exceptional quality and “savoir-faire” associated with French craftsmanship.
Sustainability is central to everything we do at Esthète. We consciously avoid plastic packaging, choosing instead reusable cotton pouches that provide an eco-friendly and stylish storage solution. Additionally, our shipping materials are made from recycled cardboard, ensuring your order arrives safely while respecting the environment. Esthète is dedicated to creating swimwear that celebrates beauty while making thoughtful choices for the planet.
