Love the design and fits exactly as expected. A little texture might make it more flattering in the tummy area but it feels great and looks amazing!

The story behind it
Swim shorts that stay put? Yes, please.
Every pair of swim shorts I tried gapped at the waist, rode up in the surf, or dug in the wrong places. So I made the Isola — high waisted, no front seam, medium coverage with a slightly cheeky moment. A fit so smooth you'll forget you're wearing them. From reformer to ocean and back, these are the pair I reach for every day. <3 Kels

Each piece is a limited run. When they sell out, they don't come back. Most customers come back for their second — and third — before they go.
Yes — the high waist and compression fabric mean these stay put even in the waves. Our founder has tested them in the surf and they don't move. The no-top-seam design also means no rolling or digging — just a smooth, secure fit.
They're medium to fuller coverage with just a slight cheeky moment at the back — enough to be flattering without being too covered up. Think vintage surf girl, not board short. Our 5'8" founder wearing them says there is about 2-3 cm of cheek exposed if you wear them up all the way. You can wear them slightly down for a fuller-coverage look as well.
Yes- the Isola is true to size — just go with your usual size. These have a bit of stretch as well! If you're very in between sizes, size up instead of down.
No stress — we offer fast and easy 14-day returns and 30-day exchanges. Just make sure the suit is unworn with tags attached. Most customers find the Palme runs true to size.
