About Us

A Poolside Partnership

It all started with two longtime friends, who’ve traveled the world to find the fun.
But on more than one occasion, they wished they had a swimsuit on hand.

Co-founders Renee Howdeshell and Alison Palevsky have found an intriguing white
space in today’s market for Whimsuit’s spontaneous swimwear available where you need it
most- at the resort, via the mini bar or even poolside. With collective experience in
leadership, finance, design and production, our team is perfectly poised to make a
serious splash.
