About

‘Zemra’ means ‘heart’ in Albanian. It’s a nickname often used for someone you love very much, who has your whole heart. Zemra is your sweetheart, beloved, my love. 

Zemra Swim came to be in the summer of 2022 from a little notebook in Kosova, where Albanian-American designer Aishah Avdiu started sketching bikinis. 

Her journey creating swimwear began without professional fashion experience, but simply a whole-hearted love for bikinis, more than any other piece of clothing. Her collection draws inspiration from traditional Albanian folk art and artisan work, with  elements like hand-sewn crochet, lace trims, and embroidery details. 

These pieces are special, but they wouldn’t be complete without you. Everything at Zemra Swim is designed, handcrafted, and embellished with the intention of enhancing the beauty of its wearer. From Aishah's heart to yours.

With Love,
