Eight Years In, A Thank You.

When we started eit swim in 2018, honestly, we never imagined we would be here eight years later.

We started with a small exhibition for friends. So many friends and people we knew came to celebrate with us that day, and even now, thinking back on it still makes me emotional.

Little by little, the people around us started discovering eit swim. Then orders began coming in from all over Japan. And now, thankfully, we’re seeing more and more orders from outside Japan, too. It has happened slowly. Very slowly, in fact. But somehow, little by little, eit swim has made its way here.

We’ve never been the kind of people who are especially good at marketing or sales. We’re much more comfortable making things, writing and sharing what we think, discovering beautiful things, and turning the ideas and values we care about into something tangible.

And yet, over the years, so many people have chosen our swimwear, followed what we do, and even come back to order again. 
Every single order is something we never want to take for granted. Looking back now, each one feels almost like a little miracle.

We’ve also received so many messages from customers saying things like, “I really connect with what your brand stands for.”
Those words have meant more to us than we can say. They’ve helped us through some difficult moments over the years.

When we started eit swim, there were very few independent swimwear brands in Japan. Now, new swimwear brands appear every year. And in the middle of all that, there are still people choosing eit swim.
The stores that continue to carry our swimwear. The friends who have supported us for so many years. And every single customer who has connected with what we do.

We are deeply grateful to all of you.

Most of all, to everyone who is still here, reading, watching, and following eit swim.

Thank you. Truly.

We want to keep making things with the same care we always have, and continue growing eit swim together with all of you.
I just wanted to write down what was on my mind, exactly as it came to me.
Thank you for being here, and for continuing to be part of eit swim.
