Have you started feeling self-conscious at the beach? Are you covering up in a baggy old T-Shirt or worse, stopped going to the beach?Lyndal Sterenburg did too and one summer's day had a spark of an idea that would go on to change women's lives. Today Lyndal has a simple mission - for all women to enjoy summer. And through her business Es Una, she's doing exactly that.Through conversations with friends and other women, Lyndal realised that we all have the same concerns, especially as we get older. Our bodies change, our bellies get bigger, our skin sags … and we become increasingly aware of the signs of ageing, particularly in a Western world that only praises perfection. So, we cover up and ultimately stop doing the things we used to love because we don’t feel bikini ready.And this made her sad.Because Lyndal wanted to feel as good as she felt about going to the beach when she was younger. She pivoted out of the corporate world to dive into a whole new world of fashion design and production, launching Es Una.Offering a range of stylish swimwear, designed for your skin, your curves and your confidence.
