About

Our Story


After years and years of sewing, MurMade came to life in a small house in Salt Lake City, UT. MurMade Swimwear was started by Muriel, a student at the University of Utah, who has a love for sustainability and fashion.  

Each piece here at MurMade Swimwear is hand-made by Muriel. Each design and size was drawn up and cut out by hand, and we strive to make 100% of our swimwear out of recycled materials.
