Meet the founder
I founded Solsona in 2021, right here in the South East suburbs of Sydney. My name is Rowdah Dib, and I'm not just a designer but also a mum. The inspiration for Solsona struck me over a decade ago during a holiday in Malaysia.
I remember feeling frustrated when I was refused entry to a theme park for wearing a bikini. The more modest alternatives offered to me in the swim shop definitely caught my eye it was then and there that the vision for Solsona came to me!
For years, I had longed to have my own label. Combining my knowledge and love for fashion I was determined to bring Solsona to life.
My love for summer and travel played a significant role in making me the perfect swimwear designer. As I chased the sun around the world, visiting breathtaking countries like Spain, Turkey, Dubai, Lebanon and Bali, I connected with women who shared a common desire. They wanted to look and feel amazing while having swimwear options that allowed for a bit more modesty.
In 2021, I bid farewell to my 10-year career in the Logistics industry, embarking on my journey with swimwear. Being a strong, confident woman and a mother myself, I knew exactly what kind of swimwear I wanted to create. I envisioned stylish, comfortable, and sustainable pieces that would empower women to feel confident in their own skin.
My travel experiences provided me with a deeper understanding of what other fashion-loving ladies, like myself, were looking for. I realised there was a demand for well-designed swimsuits that challenged the traditional bikini and made women feel great.
That's the story of how Solsona came to be, and I couldn't be more excited about the journey ahead.
