Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Connection, and Cultural Celebration

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a year that has been nothing short of extraordinary. From launching new collections to debuting on global stages and connecting with our community in meaningful ways, this year has been a journey of growth, culture, and celebration. Here’s a closer look at the highlights that defined this incredible year for Jalayimiya Swim.

January to March: New Beginnings and Connections

We kicked off the year with the launch of the Makurra Collection and a proud moment gracing the front cover of Style Up Magazine. February brought enriching conversations as a guest on the Indigenous Insights podcast. By March, we were building stronger partnerships, visiting our manufacturers in Bali to ensure every piece meets the highest standards.

April to July: Cultural Milestones

April’s Marni Project casting call was a testament to the incredible talent within our community, with over 50 inspiring applicants. In May, we celebrated heritage and beauty with photoshoots in Fitzroy Crossing and Broome. June saw us lighting up the KAFTA runway and launching the NAIDOC Collection, honouring culture through bold designs.

September to December: Breaking Boundaries

Debuting at New York Fashion Week in September was a dream come true, alongside the launch of the vibrant Ngapa Collection. October’s underwater photoshoot pushed creative boundaries, while November’s Black Friday Sale broke records, generating $11,000 in sales. December ended with a viral TikTok moment, thanks to Brittney Saunders, with nearly a million combined views!

Looking Ahead:

We’re thrilled to unveil our Core Collection in 2025, a thoughtfully designed range featuring underwire support, full coverage, and adjustable fits tailored for every body. This collection represents our commitment to celebrating diversity and offering timeless, versatile pieces you’ll love.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Your support has made 2024 unforgettable, and we can’t wait to continue this incredible adventure with you in 2025. Stay tuned for more milestones, more culture, and more designs that celebrate you.
