Opt for the bold Sunblushed style to perk up your summer wardrobe or go for the classic white on navy polka dot patterned Royal Flush for a more casual look. Either way, make sure you’ve got a refreshing drink in your hand!

If you’re heading to sunnier shores the Sorphea one piece swimsuit from RubyMoon takes you from the beach to the pool via the volleyball court. Made from fully vegan Oeko-Tex-certified nylon, it combines function with design.

Not only boasting a positive environmental impact, RubyMoon’s swim and active wear comes with a social echo too! Each sale of the Sorphea swimsuit helps RubyMoon keep making loans to empower women entrepreneurs around the world.
