    “Before a championship, hopefully my mind is blank. The focus and energy is on being fully present and executing the things I’ve practiced a thousand times over. Competition is just an opportunity to show what you’ve done in practice. But nerves and emotions can come in to play so I like reminding myself and others of the statement above! The feelings of joy and presence I have when swimming and finding my rhythm and flow is bliss and to me I often feel like this is the closest feeling one can have to flying.”
    - Therese Alshammar

  • Li Karlsén is wearing Alba in Woodstock

    “Freediving is a very unique space where you are in ultimate peace, and at the same time in extreme stress. The breath holding is not the focus at all, you tend to completely forget about holding your breath when you freedive since you're completely present in just being. Physically, your body activates a survival mode called the mammalian diving response which means that your brain and body conserves oxygen and adapts to the extreme pressure around you at depth.”
    -Li Karlsén

our story

In July 2020, during a vacation in the South of France, the idea of a versatile swimwear garment was born.

“WEARING A BIKINI ALL DAY WHILE PLAYING WITH MY KIDS, I ENVISIONED SOMETHING THAT COULD BE WORN IN AND OUT OF THE WATER AND WOULD ENABLE ME TO MOVE SEAMLESSLY FROM THE POOL TO THE BEACH, FROM THE BEACH TO A RESTAURANT AND SO ON. A ZERO COMPROMISED SWIMWEAR PIECE.”
- Nadja Forsberg, Co-founder

And so, the swimdress was created and in 2023 Rivage was launched. Set to redefine swimwear for women, creating garments with integrity and versatility while blurring the lines between ready-to-wear and swimwear. All of our products are manufactured in Italy.
