We’re thrilled to share that our handmade crochet swimwear was once again featured in the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

This year’s iconic issue featuring cover stars Hilary Duff, Alix Earle, Nicole Williams English, and Tiffany Haddish, celebrates a diverse lineup of women spanning fashion, entertainment, sports, and entrepreneurship. 

This year our handmade crochet designs were worn by Ellie Thumann, Jasmine Sanders, Jena Sims, and Penny Lane, each bringing their own unique energy and style to the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Explore the pieces seen in the issue, including handmade crochet bikinis, shell-detailed swimwear, and signature resort-ready silhouettes.  These pieces reflect the spirit of barefoot luxury, coastal glamour, and timeless resort dressing. 

JENA SIMS, actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime supporter of charitable initiatives through her organization Pageant of Hope, brought effortless coastal glamour to the pages of the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Photographed against the sun-drenched docks and shoreline scenery of Fort Myers, Florida, Jena wore our handmade crochet Dreamcatcher Halter Bikini Set in white — a timeless silhouette blending delicate craftsmanship with modern beach sensuality.

The halter-style top features an intricate hand-crocheted dreamcatcher like motif across the neckline, balanced by softly sculpted triangle cups and adjustable ties for a flattering, customizable fit. The matching side-tie bikini bottom mirrors the artisanal openwork detailing, finished with long braided ties and tassel accents that move beautifully with the body.

Handmade in cotton crochet, the Dreamcatcher set captures the spirit of relaxed luxury and barefoot coastal living, designed for sun-soaked escapes, boat days, and golden hour moments by the water.

Style tip: Pair the Dreamcatcher halter with oversized linen pants, vintage denim cutoffs, or a flowing white crochet skirt for an effortless beach-to-resort look.

PENNY LANE, model and creative muse known for her effortlessly free-spirited style, brought a dreamy bohemian energy to the pages of the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Photographed in the warm, sun-drenched landscapes of Fort Myers, Florida, Penny wore our handmade crochet Mermaid Bikini Top, delicately shellbelished with genuine cowrie shells, paired with our matching Seashore Angel Bikini Bottom.

Hand-crocheted in soft natural cotton, the Mermaid top features an intricate fishnet  textured stitch inspired by ocean treasures and vintage crochet heirlooms. Genuine cowrie shells add a mermaid vibe, texture, and a subtle nod to seaside wanderlust. The Seashore Angel bottom completes the look with flattering side ties and signature shell detailing giving it an effortless beachy feel.

The result is a look that feels equal parts barefoot bohemian, island escape, and modern mermaid.

Style tip: Pair the Mermaid bikini top with flowing linen pants, vintage denim, or layered gold jewelry for an elevated beach-to-resort look. For a slightly more minimal take, the top can also be styled with our Seashore Shell Bikini Bottom featuring a single row of shell detailing.

ELLIE THUMANN, content creator, model, and digital personality known for her effortlessly natural style and adventurous spirit, brought a soft sun-kissed glamour to the pages of the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Photographed along the dreamy shoreline landscapes of Fort Myers, Florida, Ellie wore our handmade crochet Sea Schilling Mesh Top, delicately embellished with genuine mother of pearl schillings (paillettes).

This hand-crocheted Sea Schilling crop top in airy open airy mesh blends artisanal craftsmanship with an easy silhouette. Genuine mother of pearl paillettes are individually attached throughout the crochet, catching the light with every movement and adding subtle texture inspired by treasures found along the shoreline. Lightweight and versatile, piece feels both beachy and refined. 

Style tip: Wear it as a bikini coverup, but this piece also goes beyond the beach. The Sea Schilling top layers beautifully under an oversized linen blazer, open crochet cardigan, or relaxed button-down shirt for an elevated resort look that transitions seamlessly from daytime to sunset cocktails.

JASMINE SANDERS, model, entrepreneur, and global fashion favorite affectionately known as “Golden Barbie,” brought radiant confidence and effortless glamour to the pages of the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Photographed along the golden coastal waters of Fort Myers, Florida, Jasmine wore our handmade crochet Sea Schilling Monokini embellished with genuine mother of pearl paillettes. The monokini features sculpted triangle cups, dramatic side cutouts, and a plunging silhouette designed to flatter and elongate the body. The shell accents catch the sunlight like tiny treasures gathered along the shoreline.

Style tip: This monokini doubles beautifully as a bodysuit. Pair it with flowing linen pants, an oversized white shirt, or layered gold jewelry for an effortless beach-to-dinner transition.

Seeing our handmade crochet swimwear featured once again in the pages of Sports Illustrated is a moment we’re incredibly grateful for and one we’ll be savoring all summer long and beyond.
