Known for the psychedelic patterns found on their inner shells, abalone (sea snails) feature unique colors that are created by nacre, hexagonal platelets of aragonite also known commonly as “mother of pearl” and found on a variety of mollusks. Our print features the piercing blues of New Zealand’s Pāua, the Māori name given to three species Haliotis iris, Haliotis australis and Haliotis virginea.

All around happy with my purchase! Arrived relatively quickly, even ordering on pre-order! I am 5' 9"/140 lbs and I ordered a size medium. I was worried about the fit because I have a long torso but it fits perfectly! The material feels durable and I look forward to jumping in the ocean with it!
Love the quality of the one piece and masks. I received my order sooner then expected.
I am 5’2” and 115. Petite. I ordered a small, fit is great and not cheeky as expected. Sleeves are a bit long and will wear with a sports bra underneath. I swim in the ocean and was looking for protection from the jellyfish, the sun and help to ease into cooler water temps in the fall/winter. Can’t wait to swim in it🏊🏻♂️
Absolutely beautiful print. Feels great on. However on my first wear, my weight belt rubbed a pretty bad fray into the waist of the suit. Disappointed to say the least. Will definitely still wear but won’t be purchasing another.
I wore my abalone suit today for the first time to swim laps, keep the sun off of me, and hold in my body heat; it worked perfectly. The suit fits nice and snug, and stayed put while swimming. I love the thumb loops too. It’s a beautiful suit, well made and I love it. My only comment is that the rear end is a little ‘cheeky’ for this 63 year old gal. I’m 5’6”, 120 lbs and the size small is perfect.
This suit is awesome. It's comfortable for all day wear. Dries pretty quick when it's hot out and provides good protection from the sun. Normally I don't like material up on my neck, but this doesn't make me feel like I'm choking. Zipper is perfect, print is gorgeous. I'm 5ft 7in, have G cups, and a 38in waist, and the XL fits like a dream. Highly recommended! I've loved all of their products so far, but the swim suits might be my favorite. It's been a long time since I had swim wear I was comfortable in physically and mentally speaking.
I love this swimsuit!!! I originally ordered a L and returned it for a M. I am 5’8” and 150lbs with a 34DD chest. With the medium I felt like it hugged my curves in all the right ways. I feel like it’s very well made.The only issue I have is that with the medium the neck is a little tight. I will be ordering another one and hoping you make more in other prints.
Abalone is the common name for a variety of marine snails that are found throughout the world’s oceans. Sought after for their meat and their beautiful shells, populations have declined rapidly and some species are now critically endangered. Our relationship with abalone illustrates the challenges of overexploitation of the marine environment. Until the 1980’s, it was widely thought that abalone populations were resilient and could effectively rebound from harvesting activities. Unfortunately, that has not proven to be true.
Abalone are “broadcast spawners,” meaning that two individuals must be within three feet of one another to sexually reproduce. This type of reproduction makes population recovery very challenging, driving the need for humans to intervene. Marine biologist Nancy Caruso is doing just that, and founded Get Inspired, a non-profit organization that specializes in marine conservation & education.
Besides physically growing juvenile abalone along California’s coast and populating them back into the coastal kelp forest marine habitat, Nancy recognizes that protecting the ocean in the future requires educating children today. That is why she has launched a 10 year initiative to grow 100,000 abalone in classrooms across the golden state and restore them along the southern California coast, inspiring and utilizing the help of the next generation of scientists along the way. 10% of profits from your purchase will be donated to this restoration effort.

Photos used to create this print were taken by Alyssa Frederick, a PhD researcher, science advocate and communicator. Her PhD research focuses on how disease and temperature stress affect abalone.
