Cornelia was born from freedom, the kind that comes with salt on your skin, messy hair, and the sun that never asks for permission.
Our world is a blend of contrasts and colors: the vibrant spirit of Chiara’s Italian and Lebanese roots, the raw energy of the Basque coast where Matteo grew up, and the tropical rhythm of the islands where he was born.
From these places came sun-soaked memories, colorful prints, and the desire to capture a feeling, that moment when confidence feels effortless and freedom feels like home.
We believe a bikini should never hide your body, but reveal it, softly, proudly, truthfully.
Each piece is made to move with you, to follow your rhythm, to celebrate the beauty of what’s already there.
Our ambition: to offer a sustainable brand with ethical, unique pieces designed to last, season after season. We avoid overproduction to reduce waste and use recycled materials made from plastic bottles, sourced in Europe to minimize our carbon footprint.
We create consciously, not perfectly.
Today, we’re proud and excited to share this beautiful journey with you.
Cornelia takes its name from the Latin word cornu, a symbol of strength and freedom.
It embodies everything we stand for: confidence, courage, and the joy of living life on your own terms.
Cornelia isn’t just about swimwear.
It’s a mindset, for women who don’t play by the rules, who live through emotion, freedom, and strength.
For those who don’t ask to be seen, they simply are.
Love & tan lines.
Chiara & Matteo
