The Meaning Behind the Names SwimsByDidi and the ‘Dikini’

When I first decided to start my own swimwear brand, I knew I wanted a name that felt true to who I am but also had an easy, memorable vibe. One of my closest friends helped me find the perfect name when I shared my dream with her. She’d always called me ‘D,’ short for Darkor, and without a second thought, she said, “How about SwimsByDidi?” Immediately, it felt just right. It had a natural ring, and that’s how the name was born.

SwimsByDidi represents more than just swimwear; it’s a nod to friendships and the people who inspire us to follow our dreams. My friend gave me a name that captured the energy of the brand: a blend of warmth, connection, and empowerment for anyone who wears our designs.

I also wanted to create a name that wasn’t directly tied to me. I wanted people to fall in love with the products and the brand for what they represented—not for who was behind it. I loved the idea of growing SwimsByDidi with a focus on the quality and the inspiration behind each piece rather than my own identity.

The idea for the Dikini started with a need for something I couldn’t find in stores—swimwear that fit my shape perfectly. As I sketched out my first designs, I realized I wanted to keep things simple yet personal. The name Dikini came naturally. It was a play on “Didi’s bikinis,” a way to make the style feel uniquely ours. And just like that, the Dikini became our signature product.

Every Dikini design is meant to embody comfort, versatility, and simplicity while giving our customers the freedom to choose their own style and fit. The Dikini is a reminder that each piece is crafted with care, from our team to your beach days.

At SwimsByDidi, every swimsuit, from our namesake Dikini to our expanding collections, is made with one goal: to celebrate the unique style and confidence of each person who wears it. Whether you’re by the pool, on the beach, or just catching some sun, we hope our designs make you feel comfortable, confident, and uniquely you ✨
