Ūnika comes from the latin word "unica" meaning only one, one of a kind and unique.
We are Ūnika
Betsy Campos and Alessia Latina, friends with a common goal to make a change in the fashion industry.
Ūnika was created with a clear vision in mind: to provide luxury eco-conscious swimwear for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. We aim to empower our clients by helping them recognize and appreciate their own individuality through our swim.
Our end goal is to make you feel confident and comfortable in your swimwear; as everyone should.

Meaning, made for ū.
Swimwear shopping can be an intimidating experience and finding the perfect fit can be frustrating. Every body is different, just as every person’s needs are.
Although we specialize in cūstom made swimwear and provide accommodations to those who have undergone surgical procedures, we also offer swimwear in sizes XS - 4XL online for a more accessible shopping option. Our styles range from minimal to fuller coverage pieces, along with various support and silhouette options ensuring that everyone’s’ personal vision and style may come to life.
Sustainability
We proudly use fabric made from regenerated nylon yarn derived from pre and post-industrial waste. Waste and discarded fish nets from the ocean and landfills are cleaned and made into premium, durable, recycled fabric that is then used to produce our swimwear fabric. To reduce our carbon footprint, our scrap pieces of fabric are used to make hair scrunchies, bandies, and other accessories to utilize every inch. Our shipping bags are also made of recycled materials.
Ethical Practices
From the start, our goal has always been to create ethically made, sustainably conscious, high quality garments. In an effort to reduce unnecessary waste and over production, everything is handmade on a made to order basis in Canada. It is extremely important to us that our team is treated ethically. With this in mind, we pay all of our employees equal and fair wages while aspiring to provide a positive work environment. We are completely against any sort of discrimination and celebrate inclusion.
