They say one day can change everything—and for me, that day was October 29th, 2021.
In the span of just a few hours, my world turned upside down and right-side up. That morning, my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. That afternoon, after four long years of IVF, I found out I was pregnant. The emotional whiplash was indescribable—grief, hope, fear, joy—all tangled together in one unforgettable day.
In that moment, I realized with painful clarity how fragile and precious life is. I knew I had to create something meaningful—something that brought me joy, made me proud, and, most importantly, showed my daughters that anything is possible when you lead with passion and purpose.
That’s when Vanhope was born. Named after my daughters’ middle names, it felt only right to pour my heart into something that connected the past, present, and future. My grandma Rose owned a swim and sportswear boutique just off Worth Avenue in Palm Beach for nearly 20 years. Her spirit of strength, style, and entrepreneurship lives on in every piece we make.
Vanhope is a love letter to women everywhere. Designed to make you feel confident, radiant, and powerful. Our small-batch, sustainable swimwear is dreamed up in Charleston, SC and handmade with love in Brazil, using only the highest-quality fabrics and accessories.
Life is short. Wear the bikini!
Let customers speak for us
This bathing suit bottom is the perfect fit in all the right places!! I want her to make it in ever color!!
Love the quality, love the print. This Vanhope bathing suit is amazing!!!
Great quality bikini. It’s flattering, supportive, soft, and super comfortable. Vanhope has the cutest prints and style swimsuits. I love the versatile bottoms.
Colors in this suit are GORGE! Flattering and comfortable! Very happy I purchased!
I spent the whole day by the pool in my Vanhope swimmer and loved it all day long. I love the unique patterns that you don’t see everyone else at the pool wearing and it was so comfortable to sit, swim, lounge in all day! Can’t even tell you have it on!
This bottom is the perfect mix of high waisted and a little cheeky. I have worn it all day in the ocean and it stayed put.
I can’t say enough about this top. I love that the straps tie in the back. It is the perfect amount of coverage so that everything stays in place, but still looks cute.
This suit didn’t fit my body type the best so I got the Cara top and GG bottoms instead - but the customer service was the best I have ever experienced from any company!!!
Great cut, feel and super flattering! 2-in-1 reversible print an added bonus. Can't wait to see what's in store next season!
Love the terry cloth lining! Great hat! Can’t wait for new swimsuit colors too!
I have always been a one piece or tankini gal, but now I am rockin a bikini for the first time ever!! The fit is perfection for the bottoms and top. I really do feel confident in this bikini at the age of 43!! Thank you Vanhope!!!
This sarong is my new favorite addition to my bathing suit collection! It’s the perfect length (I’m 5’4) and the ruffles on the edge make it cute and easy to tie. It also drys super fast and the best part is that it doesn’t trap sand on the beach so it stays bright white!
