Introducing Seaux Swim: Luxury Swimwear for Women of ALL Sizes

ATLANTA - Seaux Swim is excited to announce the launch of their luxury swimwear company which caters to women of all sizes. Created in an effort to provide fashion-forward swimwear for women across the world, Seaux (pronounced 'so') Swim provides unique, custom designed pieces made to make all women feel comfortable and confident in a swimsuit.

"This company was born out of my own frustration while searching for a swimsuit for an upcoming vacation," said Quinnie Jenkins, founder of Seaux Swim. "The selections for women over a size 12 were so few and what I did come across were matronly and practically covered the entire body. In that moment, I decided that the average women deserved a better selection of trendy, chic swimsuits, no matter her size. I hired a designer, a manufacturer in Los Angeles and seven months later my dream has come to fruition."
