The Waters Edge Cover Up

During the summer months, the beach is my favourite place to be. I’ve been a great swimmer since I was a child, but even if I’m not swimming, I’m happy just to be near the water. I would love to live there!
This is why I was eager to design a beautiful coverup to wear over my bathing suit - something delicate and classy but still functional, something I can wear while walking down the beach and listening to the water… perhaps even in slow motion. ;-)
