Summer Glen Swimwear Klein Karoo

Introducing Summer Glen’s Klein Karoo Inspired SS21 Collection

Tegan Glen, a Cape Town-based photographer, created Summer Glen in 2020 after struggling to find the perfect fitting swimsuit (like many) and took it on herself to design a swim piece that would look sexy AND support women. After months of research and careful consideration to several women’s swimwear concerns, the “Infinite” range Summer Glen’s first collection  was born one summer’s day while exploring the Klein Karoo.

In celebration of Summer Glen’s 1st Anniversary, Tegan dedicated her second collection for Spring / Summer 2021 to this iconic semi-desert natural region in South Africa.

THE DESIGN:

  • Multi-way straps in the full swimsuits allow one to style their swimsuit for any occasion.
  • Swimsuits supports A-DD cup sizes
  • The high leg style avoids cutting over the hips and lengthens legs
  • All swimsuits are double lined to avoid sheerness
