Reflecting on the evolution of her design approach, Lauren shares insights into the transformative journey of her brand. Initially envisioned to bring the drama of ready-to-wear to swimwear, Lauren Bentley Swimwear has evolved significantly, refining its vision and aligning more closely with the founder’s aesthetic and the brand’s target market. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the brand’s preliminary manufacturer was a turning point, prompting a reevaluation and redesign of the collection. “It allowed me to go back to the drawing board and redesign the collection to something more aligned with myself,” she reflects. This pivot, though challenging, was instrumental in shaping the brand into what it is today.
Looking to the future, Lauren Bentley Swimwear remains steadfast in its commitment to quality and timeless design. “We’re truly not concerned about trends,” the founder asserted, eschewing the fast-paced cycle of trends for a more sustainable and intentional approach. This approach ensures the pieces’ longevity and fosters a deeper connection between the wearer and their wardrobe. In addition, the brand uses customer feedback as the compass of its evolution, shaping the development of new styles and collections.
“Customer feedback is a pillar in creating a product that leads to customer satisfaction.”“Customer feedback is a pillar in creating a product that leads to customer satisfaction,” the founder acknowledged.
