SEPTEMBER
We are a modern, luxury surf and swimwear brand that is founded on modernist design principles that honor simplicity and form over unnecessary frills and details. The collection embraces timeless, thoughtful designs that are pared-down yet sophisticated and elevated through a strong color palette.
We design beautiful yet functional swimwear for real women who live active lifestyles. Our silhouettes are tailored for active use and designed to transcend seasons, trend-proof, and offer the opposite of planned obsolescence. We don't build a product that will fall apart after one season.
SEPTEMBER, was created by Erika Seiko Togashi, a passionate surfer with over fifteen years of design experience for Patagonia, The North Face, J. Crew and Deus Ex Machina. She noticed the lack of timeless, elegant and sustainable surf & swimwear in the industry.
"I became increasingly aware of this when I moved from NYC to Bali 6 years ago and started spending a lot more time surfing and swimming. I simply couldn't find any swimsuits that stayed on and didn’t flash the lineup. No one was making simple, beautifully crafted swimwear, in streamlined silhouettes, sophisticated colors that were functional and made for real women who enjoyed being outside and were sustainable. So I started designing and producing my own."
SEPTEMBER is an independent and self-funded brand with a passion and determination to create modern, sustainable surf & swimwear for all.
