Lido makes swimwear that treats the beach as a place for design, not just exposure. Founded by Daria Stankiewicz in Venice, the independent label takes its name from the lagoon island and produces its pieces in Northern Italy with Italian artisans. The shapes are clean, the color is deliberate, and the clothes look as good moving through a city as they do near the water.
Lido
Bikinis with a clear point of view
Lido launched as an independent project built around beautiful, practical and sustainable clothing, and its bikinis keep that brief intact. Triangle ties, dégradé color and sculptural embellishment bring personality without turning the suit into a costume.
The one-piece, reconsidered
The label is named for Venice’s Lido, the island where beach culture and city life meet. Its one-pieces follow that same logic, using open backs, asymmetric lines and strong blocks of color to make a swimsuit feel like a proper garment.

The pieces beyond the water
Lido produces in Northern Italy with Italian artisans, and the cover-ups carry that quiet local sensibility into cotton poplin and voile. Pack a shirt or pareo as a second layer rather than a backup plan, because these pieces are designed to be seen.
Our honest take
Our honest take: Lido is for swimmers who want a recognizable silhouette without a giant logo. The best pieces are the ones that let color do the talking, especially when the shape stays simple. If you take one thing away, choose the cut you will actually move in, then let the print or color supply the personality.
