Jypsea Local

Jypsea Local is a South Florida-based swimwear and resortwear brand founded in 2013 by Stefanie Holtzheuser. Born from the founder's wanderlust and travels to over 20 countries, the brand was created with a mission to support local artists and small businesses while providing fashion-forward swimwear to 'mermaids by land & sea.' The company operates both online and through their boutique mermaid storefront in Lauderdale by the Sea, emphasizing a culture of women empowering each other to achieve success. The brand is known for its handmade, high-quality bikinis and one-pieces that prioritize both style and comfort. All swimwear is crafted in Florida using lycra with double and triple layering to ensure opacity and durability. Signature pieces include the Bandita bandeau top with cutout details, the Spring Tide thong bottom with adjustable side bands, and the XMTS collection featuring braided accents. The brand also offers the popular reversible Shelly One Piece and custom bikini options. Jypsea Local has gained recognition for its commitment to quality craftsmanship and its founder's authentic 'Jypsea Soul' philosophy, which emphasizes supporting small businesses and maintaining a connection to beach culture and travel inspiration.
