Coral Swimwear – eCommerce
Our Client
Coral Swimwear is a Melbourne startup that sells beautiful swimwear for women through their online store. Their bikini styles are inspired by the latest trends from beaches in Brazil and Argentina as well as Australian landscapes and wildlife. Coral Swimwear’s flattering designs make women feel fabulous while they are creating great lifelong memories in the sun.
