My Story

    Named after my daughters' middle names, Vanhope was created to allow my passion for swimsuits come to fruition. Living in Charleston, SC you can find me and my family on or in the water as much as our hectic lives allow. I have grown up loving all types of bathers, constantly looking for that perfect combination of great fit, and even better style. As I got older I found it harder and harder to find that perfect combo, so I decided to just create my own. Sprung from a love affair between the serene Charleston waters and an obsession for bright, bold bathers, Vanhope was created to make women feel confident and look stunning. I wanted swimwear that would not only stay put while swimming in the waves but have you look good while doing it. Aimed at crafting sustainable swimwear to make your beach days even more beautiful, and carefree, our suits are handmade with love in Brazil with the highest quality fabrics and accessories. Swimmers, apparel, and hats available now.
