Toco Swim founders
Founders of Toco Swim
@tocoswim
Toco Swim was born in 2017 out of Charlotte and Olivia’s shared frustration at the lack of high-quality, designer swimwear available to women in the UK without the designer price-tag. At the time, both were working full-time as auditors alongside raising young families - but they were determined to create something different - swimwear that you actually look forward to wearing.
What started as a side hustle has since evolved into a seven-figure brand, built from the ground up by a team of just four. Today, Toco is on a mission to become the UK’s leading swimwear brand, redefining the industry through a focus on female empowerment, confidence, and above all - community.
