SIRI Swimwear
Siri Swimwear was established in 1994 in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Its unique designs and high quality materials are what attracted Belo Sol Swimwear to them.

The newest collections from Siri will definitely please our Canadian clients, as it is truly unique and beautifully created.
Siri has traveled to the lost heaven to create your 2009/2010 summer swimwear collection. Nature and art are combined to reveal its creations; making colors, textures and surprising artistic elements appear beautifully through each design. The water that comes down from the great stone walls, form incredible and unusual views which inspired the use of genuine stones and Swaroviski crystals that are applied to the bikinis and swimsuits. The unique photographic prints on specific styles resemble a lost heaven in the morning, afternoon and night. Foliage, flowers, butterflies and snakes are represented by soft lycras, light tissues and natural fibers which all compose dresses, tunics, and comfortable pants.

In a world where cheap is the focus on manufacturing nowadays, we are stubbornly set in our ways and very proud to be producing a top quality garment right here in the USA .”
Krista Grinna
Tara’s daughter Kirsti has inherited her mother’s talent and began designing her own line of bikinis at the age of 14. Her first collection called KGB (initials standing for Kirsti Grinna Bikinis, while also hinting at a theme based on a controversial Russian past) hit the industry with a blast.
Within three years, she created another label that was equally successful and featured once again on the website of Sports Illustrated. The newer label, Kirsti Grinna Collection is a more upscale, luxurious version offering Italian specialty fabrics and unique hardware and linings that are truly elegant and sophisticated for the contemporary customer who demands the best in designer fashion.
KGB has kept to its original theme of bold, edgy, graphic prints and bright solids. Both collections offer styles from tiny Brazilian cuts to fuller covering silhouettes. Sizes range from XS to XL and D-cup tops.
Kirsti also originated the concept of “Volup2us” sizing for those girls who have more curvy figures. “There is just nothing else out there in the market of designer quality swimwear that focuses on girls with curves,” Kirsti said. “To me that just didn’t make any sense because there are just as many young girls and women out there with gorgeous voluptuous bodies than those with model thin bodies who all want to look great in a bikini.
