Meet Hannah Hayes | Owner and Designer of Seven Swim

We had the good fortune of connecting with Hannah Hayes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Hannah, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success of Seven Swim is the genuine connection and trust I’ve developed with my customers. By creating an amazing product from Day 1 and actively engaging, messaging and meeting my customers – Seven has become a staple for some people!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Seven Swim is luxury swimwear made out of sustainable materials in a PETA certified factory by a 100% women team. That’s a lot of good stuff, but let’s break it down a little bit. We use a revolutionary eco-friendly fabric called Amni Soul Eco for our bikinis that has a more sustainable lifecycle than the majority of swimwear fabrics on the market today. Our factory uses the scrap material of this fabric from production to make dog beds for the local humane society, which is why PETA has certified the factory as vegan/cruelty free. Not only is the brand owned and designed by a female, but everyone who creates our swimwear is also female. Women are sorely underrepresented in the fashion industry – which is mostly aimed at females – so we think this is important!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My mom and husband have always been my number 1 supporters from when I started Seven in 2017. They believed in this crazy journey I wanted to embark on and still do. They support me in the highs and lows, and even when I’m losing faith.
