Kore Swim, Summer Must Have!
05.15.13
We're obsessed with KORE SWIM and it seems we're not the only fans. In this month alone, KORE was featured in 5 major fashion magazines including Marie Claire, InStyle, Lucky , Glamour and Self. So what makes this local swimwear line so special? Too may reasons to count, we just suggest you try on one of their pieces to fully understand what all the fuss is about.
Designed and marketed by dynamic duo sisters, Jessica and Nicole Tracy, for strong independent women who lead healthy, inspiring lives. KORE SWIM blends fashion and sport so that you can look just as good surfing as you do lounging poolside, but what we love the most is that their suits are timeless and built to last in a woman's closet for many seasons.
This season KORE released a bigger assortment of cover-ups then last year, and the sexy-sporty, color-blocked suits seem to be a big hit with buyers, which are sold locally at Bardot in Newport Beach and H. in Laguna Beach, or online at super retailers like Modcloth.com and FreePeople.com. They really do have styles for everyone, but their one pieces are getting the most attention - and their "customers love them" - "they're flattering, chic and comfortable all at the same time".
So, we're all anticipating Summer just around the corner and it's time to stock up on a new suit or three and we highly suggest KORE SWIM, you won't be disappointed.
