VOLANS
The Swiss premium swimwear label VOLANS was founded by the mother-daughter team Mira and Ivon Blazevic. The passion for swimwear and water has accompanied the creative team throughout their lives and building their own label fills them with great joy and also a bit of pride.
Mira came to Switzerland from Croatia at the age of 19 and completed training as a seamstress at Calida in Sursee. That's when she discovered her passion for sewing and designing. At the beginning of the 70s (1972) Mira finally fell in love with a dashing master hairdresser from Baden. They soon moved in together and started a family. Thanks to her training at Calida, she immediately found a job at the local Swiss swimwear label Lahco, where Mira worked for 44 years until her retirement in 2015. During this time, in addition to sewing, she also worked in tailoring and was able to develop and realize designs for 18 years, which she always did with great joy.
Ivon, the daughter, grew up with Lahco swimwear. Since Mira often talked about her work at home, Ivon captivated her with the world of swimwear at an early age. Ivon was fascinated and as teenagers the two of them developed bikinis together for themselves and all their friends, which was a lot of fun for them and allowed them to share a great passion with each other. Ivon also wanted to make swimwear, but was better at school than at sewing. She studied economics and worked as Head of Marketing in the beauty and fashion trade for over 15 years. After Mira's retirement and Ivon's search for meaningful work, the idea of her own label rekindled. With a lot of enthusiasm and great respect, they presented the first VOLANS collection in 2018 and founded VOLANS Swimwear.
