A NEW bikini, a little life chaos & some incredible humans 💗

First things first… WE'VE GOT BIKINIS!! 

Hello Adventurers,

 

Well, life has a funny old way of throwing things at you when you least expect it, doesn't it?

 

Sometimes plans change. Sometimes family circumstances take an unexpected U-turn. And sometimes, just when you're wondering how on earth you're going to keep all the plates spinning, some truly wonderful people step forward.

 

And that's exactly what's been happening at Own The Adventure.

 

Because apparently, it really does take a village. And what an incredible village we've got! 💗

 

And in the chaos of it Yes, our brand-new Own The Adventure bikinis have arrived, and we're rather excited about them.

 

Bold colours, fabulous patterns and all the OTA personality you know and love — now in a two-piece! Because whether you're heading for a chilly dip, a wintery sunny beach or somewhere in between, we believe you should wear something that makes you feel absolutely fabulous.

NEXT STOP 

CORNWALL SWIM FESTIVAL HERE WE COME!

SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER

We're delighted to share that Own The Adventure will be at the Cornwall Swim Festival!

 

And the reason we're able to be there is down to some truly incredible volunteers who've offered to help represent OTA.

 

Honestly, how wonderful is that?

 

People giving up their time, helping a small British business and sharing the love of outdoor swimming. It means more than they probably realise.

So if you're coming along, please pop over, say hello, have a look at the cossies and give our fabulous helpers a huge smile.

And we're heading back to the Quarry!

SATURDAY 14 NOVEMBER

My gorgeous niece is also helping me at The Quarry - so please make her feel welcome!

We're looking forward to being part of it again, with our colourful cossies, accessories and, of course, the new bikinis.


A LITTLE THANK YOU

When we started Own The Adventure, we wanted to create more than a swimwear brand.

 

We wanted to celebrate adventure, friendship, confidence and the incredible things that happen when people come together.

And right now, we're experiencing that kindness first-hand.

 

To everyone who's offered to help, bought a cossie, shared a post, recommended us to a friend or simply cheered us on — thank you.

You're helping keep this little adventure going, even when life takes an unexpected turn.

 

And we're so grateful.

 

Here's to colourful bikinis, cold-water dips, brilliant people and never quite knowing what's around the next corner.

 

Because that's what owning the adventure is all about, isn't it?

Big love,

Andi x Founder, Own The Adventure

 

P.S. Every costume sold helps support Breast Cancer UK, and our women's swimsuits include a little reminder inside to check your breasts. Because loving yourself means looking after yourself, too. 💗
