I’m Faareha, the founder of Muna Swimwear. My journey to create full-coverage swimwear was born from my own struggle. The drive to build Muna Swimwear originated from my experience growing up in Canada, as a Muslim woman who could never find the perfect modest swimwear that blended style with functionality. Throughout my travels, I felt alienated in my improvised swim clothes and found a serious lack of full-coverage options available for women like myself. After years of constantly feeling defeated with the limited options available, my feelings of frustration eventually became a catalyst for me to redefine swimwear, by creating original designs that merged coverage with modern design.
My journey sparked from our condo in Toronto, where I dedicated every spare moment outside of my full-time marketing career to learning, sketching, and drafting solutions for all of my swimwear problems. My vision came to life and began to gain momentum when I was accepted into a renowned business incubator at Toronto Metropolitan University, The Fashion Zone. I took the plunge and quit my corporate job only to spend over two years immersed in perfecting and developing several prototypes, finally creating full-coverage swimwear that would tick all my boxes.
Having taught myself to swim despite often being discouraged, I hope to encourage women who may have hesitated to learn crucial skills due to societal and cultural stigmas. I want them to push past any limitations and feel confident, especially if they previously avoided water activities due to a lack of inclusive swimwear options. With a steadfast commitment to quality, sustainability, and thoughtful design, I will continue to create swimwear that seamlessly blends coverage with contemporary styles and practicality.
