The Mirage Collection is the result of our relentless pursuit of perfection, an embodiment of creativity and dedication. Every detail, stitch, and clasp contributes to an adventure that transcends mere swimwear design. Join us as we take you behind the scenes of this captivating journey.
Mauve | Halter Neck One-Piece
First Draft – July 2024
The initial sketch was already stunning. But the moment it went on our model, the flaws were impossible to ignore. The length? Too short. The chest opening? Too wide. And the underarms? Let’s just say they didn’t feel very secure. Enter adjustable snap fasteners, a quick fix that gave us hope.
Second Draft – September 2024
With each passing iteration, we focused on refining the crucial details. We narrowed the chest opening for a more flattering silhouette and adjusted the width of the front panel, enhancing both balance and comfort. Progress was palpable, yet we knew we were not done yet.
Third Draft – October 2024
Then came the snap fastener debacle. After rigorous durability tests, they failed to deliver the reliability we desired. After much deliberation, we returned to a classic clasp—timeless and trustworthy, proving that sometimes, the old ways are the best.
Fourth Draft – November 2024
The final battle was edge curling, which we solved with better sewing techniques. We also enhanced the ruched details, giving the piece an elegant, polished finish. Now, it’s a one-piece that blends durability with sophistication.
Harmony | Off-Shoulder Bikini Set
First Draft – July 2024
This two-piece set, especially the top, proved to be our most challenging piece to execute. Early trials revealed multiple issues: the shoulder straps were too tight, the off-shoulder design lacked grip, and the overall fit fell flat. It was a tough start.
Second Draft – September 2024
Adjustable straps became our saviors, offering a customizable fit for every body type. Redesigned cups improved coverage and support. And subtle tweaks to the bottom silhouette elongated legs and defined hips. Progress was tangible, yet the journey was far from over.
Third Draft – October 2024
Then came the clasp dilemma. Finding the right clasp for the back straps turned into a small saga—testing more than 20 samples from various suppliers to find the perfect fit. Some clasps were too flimsy, others too bulky. After much trial and error, we found the perfect clasp: durable, easy to use, and beautifully understated.
Fourth Draft – November 2024
To elevate the final look, we refined the clasp’s placement, achieving a seamless, polished finish. After months of hard work, this set embodied everything we had envisioned—stylish, functional, and poised to make a statement.
The Mirage Collection is as a testament to the meticulous care and precision ingrained in every NAYA NALU piece. Each design reflects countless hours of refinement to bring you swimwear that’s both timeless and functional.
Launching January 20, 2025—we can’t wait to share this journey with you. Stay tuned!
