About Capri Swim

Capri Swim was created from a passion and love for travel...and the beach specifically, by Ashley Duke. Born in Toledo, OH, Ashley learned how to sew from her grandmother, who worked as a seamstress in Georgetown, Guyana. She went from sewing babydoll clothes to full  outfits for herself and friends as she got older. 

After moving to Brooklyn, NY, and solidifying her career as a professional dancer and model, Ashley developed an urge to travel as much as she could. Her love for the ocean always had her on the search for the perfect bikini that wouldn’t give her multiple tan lines.  Going to castings and auditions with multiple tan lines was not something she wanted and the options for quality minimal thong bikinis were limited.    

After a year of travel, trial and error…Capri Swim and its signature "thongkini" was born. Her pieces are designed to embrace and promote beautiful bodies of all shapes and sizes that want to soak up some sun. Capris Swim is made for the woman that wants to feel confident and classy no matter how minimal her bikini is.
