Mouille’s creative director (and co-founder) Sarah travelled frequently as a child. It was the exciting world of fashion that Sarah observed as a young girl in New York City that ignited her desire to work in the fashion industry. Combined with her passion for graphic design and life drawing, Sarah decided to pursue a degree in fashion design at RMIT (Melbourne, Australia). After completing her ‘Bachelor of Design’ in 2006, Sarah and her boyfriend (now husband) Abhijeet decided to move to London to further advance their careers. After working as an assistant designer for numerous European fashion designers Sarah took up a buyer’s assistant internship at Arcadia’s head office. It was here that she gained insight into the clockwork industry that produces London’s high street fashion. Intrigued by her experiences working with established ready-to-wear designers and her insight into the high-street’s merchandising strategies Sarah decided to create a capsule beachwear collection, using her and Abhijeet’s London apartment as her design/production studio. Sarah took advantage of fashion-show platforms such as Wimbledon Fashion show to exhibit the collection. Following an optimistic response Sarah realised there was an obvious niche for exclusive yet still affordable beachwear, specifically swimwear. Teamed with Sarah’s design ideas and Abhijeet’s business know-how, Mouillé (UK) was formed in London in 2009. Since then, the young couple has been working non-stop to get their swimwear into a competitive swimwear and resort-wear market. In 2009, Sarah & Abhijeet established a production unit in India to produce high-quality swimwear. Inspired by European standards of manufacturing and ethics, the production unit works on a highly ethical code of conduct. With consistent training & guidance, their diligent production team ensures that a lot of care goes into each Mouillé garment. Mouillé swimwear is designed& produced with care.
