Frequently Asked Questions About Paolita Swimwear
What makes Paolita swimwear special?
Paolita's prints begin life as hand-drawn original artworks by founder and designer Anna Paola, inspired by the multicultural energy of London, the landscapes of Greece, and the warmth of South America. They are then produced exclusively on the finest Italian fabrics in Como — the world's textile capital — which gives every piece an extraordinary depth of colour and quality. This is swimwear as wearable art, and the result is a collection that is genuinely unlike anything else on the market.
Where can I buy Paolita in the UK?
We are one of Paolita's UK stockists and carry a wide and carefully chosen selection at Caroline Randell, our luxury boutique in Wimbledon Village, London. We have stocked the brand for five to six years and know the collections inside out. We ship worldwide with complimentary UK delivery on orders over £125, and are always happy to advise on prints, styles, and sizing by phone or WhatsApp before you order.
What swimwear styles does Paolita do?
Paolita produces beautiful triangle bikinis and elegant swimsuits — including styles with intricately detailed low backs that are particularly striking. The prints are the defining feature of every piece, and because they are hand-drawn originals rather than commercial patterns, each collection has a genuinely distinctive character. New collections arrive each season in fresh prints and colourways.
Does Paolita do dresses and kaftans?
Yes — and they are a highlight of the current collection. Paolita recently introduced a printed linen range of dresses and kaftans that are far more than beach cover-ups. Made from fine printed linen in the brand's signature hand-drawn prints, they are elegant, relaxed, and distinctive enough to wear on a sunny day in the city as well as at the beach. We stock a selection at our Wimbledon Village boutique — get in touch to find out what's currently available.
Is Paolita good quality?
Exceptionally so. Paolita uses the finest Italian fabrics, printed exclusively in Como, Italy — the heart of European textile production. The collections are crafted in Europe with a focus on quality and fit, and the result is swimwear and resortwear that feels as beautiful as it looks. The fabrics hold their colour and shape excellently and the construction is impeccable throughout.
