Layla Swimwear Featured in the September Print Edition of Harper’s Bazaar UK

We are incredibly proud to share a milestone moment for Layla Swimwear: our brand has been featured in the September print edition of Harper’s Bazaar UK.

As a sustainable swimwear brand designed in Ibiza and handmade in Bali, seeing Layla Swimwear appear within the pages of one of the world’s most respected fashion magazines is a moment that means a great deal to us. What began as a small independent brand built on slow fashion, ethical production, and timeless design has now reached the pages of an international fashion publication we have admired for many years.

A Special Shoot in Cala Xarraca

The image featured in Harper’s Bazaar was captured during a beautiful editorial shoot at the stunning Finca Delia villa in Cala Xarraca, Ibiza. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the north of the island, the setting perfectly reflected the essence of Layla Swimwear — effortless, elegant, and connected to nature.

We were fortunate to work with two incredible models, Layla and Jamille, whose energy and presence brought the collection to life so naturally. The soft Ibiza light, the textures of the villa, and the calm Mediterranean atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for a photograph that truly represents our brand.

More Than Just a Magazine Feature

For us, this feature is about much more than being published in a magazine.

It is recognition of the values behind Layla Swimwear:

• Handmade production in Bali
• Sustainable and responsible practices
• Small-batch, slow fashion collections
• Designs inspired by the natural beauty of Ibiza
• Creating pieces that are timeless rather than trend-driven

Every bikini and swimsuit is created with care, and every collection is produced in limited quantities. We have always believed that fashion can be both beautiful and conscious, and this feature feels like a celebration of that philosophy.

A Proud Moment for an Independent Brand

As an independent business, moments like this do not happen overnight. They are built through countless hours of designing, sourcing, shooting, editing, packing orders, working with boutiques, and sharing our story with the world.

To open the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK and see Layla Swimwear included among established fashion and luxury brands is something we will never forget. It reminds us how far the brand has come since its launch and gives us even more motivation for the future.

Thank You

We would like to thank everyone who has supported Layla Swimwear on this journey — our customers, stockists, collaborators, photographers, creatives, and everyone who has chosen to wear and share our pieces.

A special thank you goes to Layla and Jamille for being part of this beautiful shoot, and to Finca Delia in Cala Xarraca for providing such an inspiring location.

Looking Ahead

This feature marks an exciting new chapter for Layla Swimwear. While we are taking a moment to celebrate, we are also looking ahead to new collections, new campaigns, and continuing to grow a brand that stays true to its roots: sustainable, handmade, and inspired by Ibiza.

Being featured in Harper’s Bazaar UK is a proud achievement — but for us, the most important part of the journey is continuing to create swimwear that makes women feel confident, comfortable, and connected to the beauty of the places they wear it.

With gratitude,

Martin & Layla
