Behind every Salmastra swimsuit there’s a journey of research, change and passion.

Every body is different. On request I make made-to-measure or customized swimsuits: choose the style, send me your measurements and the colors you’d like, and I’ll prepare a quote for you.
Tell me which style you like and what you’d like to customize: color, measurements, details.
I show you the fabrics I have and together we find the right solution for you.
I cut and sew your piece. I’ll confirm price and timing in the quote.
I’m Carlotta and Salmastra is my swimwear brand. I design and make every piece myself, in small quantities, on the Tuscan coast, with materials bought in Italy and, whenever possible, salvaged from large companies’ leftover stock.
