is the brainchild of entrepreneur and social media maven, Shea Marie. Inspired by the California lifestyle, the brand elevates swimwear to high fashion status. Handmade using only the highest quality fabrics from Italy, pieces from the brand are intended for “women who appreciate the same things as me—style and quality. For the women who wants a swimsuit that’s as good as the rest of her wardrobe.”

Signature pieces from the Grace Collection are versatile and multifunctional. Shea shares, “The vision behind it was vintage summers in South of France, with a modern twist, and aptly named after Grace Kelly.” Since this first piece was introduced, it has expanded into a full collection. There three tops, three bottoms and three maillots within the range, with six colorways to choose from. The draw for SAME Los Angeles is that designs are conceived such that wearers can integrate pieces into the wardrobe all year long. “Tops can be work as swimwear, or with high waist pants as your total outfit,” suggests Shea. Just this year, the LA-born brand also launched SAMSIES. It is collection of chic and fun swimwear options for kids and their stylish moms who enjoy twinning on precious holidays side.
