Our story

At LIN VA PAI, we are committed to honesty and transparency. We accept our imperfections as a company, brand and people. We admit mistakes, we are honest with our clients, our team and our partners. As founders, we trust each other 100%.

Einstein once said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” We use the power of our creativity to express what we really care about. Whether in the design of our swimwear, or the development of new business areas: We think ahead and question the tried and tested. We are convinced that only with the necessary imagination can the status quo be challenged and new things be created.

Freedom is a fundamental right  to every human being on this earth. We encourage women to believe in themselves and stand up for their rights. We support our LIN VA PAI family to freely develop their talents and grow beyond themselves – with flexible working models and appreciative leadership.

We cultivate the lightness of being anew every day. We let our guard down and don’t take ourselves too seriously – but still don’t take anything lightly. We like to laugh too much, too loudly and too much to not let life get us down. We take a stand, stand up for our values and work every day to make our vision a reality.

Gratitude is a constant for us. Despite the reality we live in and the prevailing global deficits, we are hopeful optimists. We still feel privileged to put our vision into practice. We are grateful for the people who accompany us on this path, who believe in our brand and in our products.

With LIN VA PAI we make a positive impact – socially as well as economically. Sustainability has many different dimensions for us: Production, business processes, standing. Sustainable action is not a decision, but the basis of our work.

We believe that freedom is strength and therefore consider it an integral part of our business. We have full confidence in our team, rely on flexible working hours and a “New Work” philosophy based on transparency and personal responsibility. Ethical values shape our company, we act fairly and transparently at all levels.

Ultimately, we are hopeful optimists who appreciate being able to realise our vision. We are grateful for the people we work with who believe in our brand and our products, and we look forward to working with you to bring the LIN VA PAI message to the world.

Women of the world, don’t be afraid to go your own way!

To ensure a secure and comfortable wearing experience, the width of the upper flap was designed in such a way that the sewn-in Velcro does not cause any unpleasant friction on the inner thighs.
The shape of the Velcro was refined during several test runs until an optimal shape could be found. Based on this, a cutting die specially made for LIN VA PAI could be used.

Unlike classic bodysuits, the fastening tabs of LIN VA PAI swimming costumes do not meet at the front but at the back of the crotch area.

We help the swimming costume to finally embody what it originally stood for: freedom!

For our LIN VA PAI swimming costumes, special attention was paid to the selection of synthetic fabrics, so that they are produced from recycled and vegan materials within Europe. Because we know that responsible swimwear does not exclude the aspects of comfort and beautiful design.

The upper and lower fabric used are made of ECONYL® yarn. Thanks to the ECONYL® Regeneration System, nylon waste, otherwise polluting the Earth, is transformed into ECONYL® regenerated nylon. It’s exactly the same as brand new nylon and can be recycled, recreated and remoulded again and again. That means you can create new products and buy new products without having to use new resources.

The velcro fastener, which is specially produced for water sports in Germany, is made of polyamide. During the development of the LIN VA PAI swimming costumes, care was taken to ensure that the velcro used is resistant to chlorine and salt water. The Velcro has a very high tensile force to prevent the fastener from popping open when worn. In order to ensure a comfortable wearing experience, a special die was specially made.

As a company in the textile industry, it is obligatory for us at LIN VA PAI to leave a green footprint. Be it in materials, choice of production site, delivery routes or our packaging. We celebrate how far we have come and we recognise how far we still have to go.

As an employer, we create a place for our teams where they can develop and work efficiently and productively. We offer modern working time models, pay above-average salaries, grant 33 days of holiday and offer various opportunities for professional and personal development. When selecting our external vendors and suppliers, we make sure that they can work under fair and appropriate conditions.

We don’t let ourselves be stopped when it comes to supporting other women to contribute themselves and their way of thinking. At LIN VA PAI, this happens on two levels: On the product level, we continue to think about products that are already on the market, always from the perspective of “What needs do women have in the 21st century? On a personal level, it is our concern to share our experiences with other women founders. We are firmly convinced that this is the only way to develop promising synergies.
