Swimwear you can actually swim in.
RIVA started on a crowded beach with a simple complaint: the suits that cost the most were the ones that went sheer, rode up and lost their colour by August. So we went to the source — a family mill on Lake Como — and built a collection around one exceptional fabric and a fit graded on real bodies, not a single sample size.
One extraordinary fabric
A sculpting, chlorine-resistant Italian jersey — the fibre luxury houses use and rarely name — double-lined so it stays opaque wet.
Graded on real bodies
Every shape is fitted across the full XS–XL run on real figures, so the lift and coverage hold at every size, not just the sample.
Kinder to the water it is made for
Shells spun from regenerated ocean nylon, cut to order to limit waste, and shipped without a scrap of plastic.
A short collection, cut properly, worn for years.
We would rather make a handful of shapes brilliantly than a hundred carelessly. One-pieces that sculpt, bikinis that stay put, cover-ups that carry you from the sand to the table — each one tested wet, stretched and dived in before it earns a place. Buy less, keep it longer, and let the fabric do the talking.
Italian fabric
A sculpting, chlorine-resistant jersey woven in Como — the fibre luxury labels quietly use.
Cut for real bodies
Graded on real figures across the full size run, so the fit holds at XS and at XL alike.
Made to stay put
Bonded seams and tested straps. No adjusting, no wardrobe surprises when you stand up.
Kinder to the sea
Shells spun from regenerated ocean nylon, shipped in plastic-free packaging.
