ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Dayana  the founder and designer of Gengi Swimwear.

For as long as I can remember, fashion has lived inside me. I didn’t choose this path… fashion chose me.

My story begins with my mother, who came to the United States from the Dominican Republic with nothing but determination, talent, and the dream of giving her children a better life. She worked as a seamstress for brands that are now global names  long hours, late nights, early mornings  using her hands to build the foundation of our family.Her sewing machine was the soundtrack of my childhood.The way she turned fabric into opportunity and thread into strength is something I’ll never forget.Watching her create, sacrifice, and push forward is where my love for fashion truly began.

Inspired by her resilience, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, training in construction, fit, patternmaking, and the craftsmanship behind a perfectly made garment. I went on to work in two swimwear manufacturing companies, where I learned the technical precision and attention to detail that luxury swimwear requires.

Gengi Swimwear is more than a brand to me, it’s a tribute.

A tribute to my mother.

A tribute to our Dominican roots.

A tribute to every woman who wants to feel confident, powerful, and beautiful in her own skin.

Every Gengi piece is designed and made in  Miami, and crafted with Italian fabric for a luxury feel you can see and touch.

Thank you for supporting a woman-owned, Latina owned brand built from heart, heritage, and the belief that dreams can become reality stitch by stitch.
