vän was founded in 2023 in Barcelona, its name taken from the Swedish word for “friend” — a nod to the bond between its founders, who combined their backgrounds to build a swimwear label with real personality. Comfortable, fun, and quietly confident, vän is best known for its long-sleeve swimsuits, offering more coverage and sun protection without sacrificing style — a genuinely different silhouette from the standard bikini. Discover the full vän collection at Andreakou Concept Store in Piraeus, Greece.

Styling Tips

- Mix and match vän bikini tops and bottoms across colours for a personalised set.
- Let a rash guard double as a light layer over a bikini for sun protection on boat days.
- Keep accessories minimal — a single gold chain or sunglasses is enough.
Care & Quality
- Rinse in cold fresh water after each wear to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Hand wash gently or use a delicate machine cycle — avoid tumble drying.
- Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve fabric and colour.
- Avoid rough surfaces and prolonged sun exposure to extend the life of the fabric.
