The History of Laola

Sara Silva, the founder and designer of Laola, has dedicated herself to building a brand that embodies her vision and values. During the pandemic in 2020, Sara embraced the challenge of self-teaching herself about fabrics, design, and swimwear. With determination and resilience, she overcame countless obstacles and mastered the art of creating pieces that celebrate the beauty of the human form. With the support of her amazing mentor, Tommie Hernandez, she successfully launched her first products, bringing her vision to life with the creation of Bandy, a top and swim shop that quickly became a sensation.

Over the course of three years and over 10 successful swimwear collections, Sara established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of swimwear fashion. Embracing the opportunity to take her brand to the next level, Bandy evolved into Laola, turning a dream into reality.
