My Story

Hello! 

Thank you so much for being here.  I am excited to share my story on why I started Desert Sage Swim!

Growing up, I always wore swimsuits with more coverage.  As I got older, those types of swimsuits were harder and harder to find.  After I had my first baby in late 2020, I soon realized that chasing around a toddler in a swimsuit could be a scary thing.  I didn't want to bend over and have my chest pop out or butt totally exposed!  Even if I had managed to find a swimsuit that helped with that, they seemed so expensive to me. I couldn't afford to pay over $100 for a single swimsuit. I knew I couldn't be the only mom or women in general with this fear/problem, so I decided to see if I could create that brand myself.  Not wanting to dive into our savings, I saw an add pop up on Facebook one day where you could donate plasma and make $900 in your first 8 donations.  And THAT is where I got my money to purchase my first few swimsuits in 2022!

I had no idea how to get my brand out there, but I knew social media could be powerful.  I had heard about Tiktok so I decided to give it a shot! I was super nervous to post my postpartum body in a stinking SWIMSUIT online, but I did and after a few videos, I had one go viral.  I was shocked to see that my idea WAS actually a problem people had.  On launch day, I sold out of almost every swimsuit I had!  I was in absolute tears.  I cannot thank those first few customers enough for really pushing me to continue on. 

Today, I have made so many mistakes, but I have also learned so much!  I am proud to have started designing all the swimsuits myself here in the USA without any degree or background in fashion and to have found and formed partnerships with multiple, ethical manufacturers overseas. My designs are so popular, I have other companies stalk me 
All swimsuits are shipped from my HOME in Las Vegas! 

I am super passionate about making women feel great about themselves in swimwear again, because we all deserve to feel beautiful, no matter our body type!

 

XOXO Celeste

Overall cute and comfortable swim skirt

I am 5'2 & 110lbs and usually a small in everything, so I ordered that, but ultimately it felt too snug. It was digging in and giving me a ring of muffin top, and the slit on the skirt was stretched and looked odd. I exchanged for a medium (due to the no returns policy) and am quite happy with the medium. Only thing is I wish the lining was the same color as one of the blues in the swimsuit instead of white. Because it tends to roll up on the bottom while your wearing it and so you'll see a ring of white lining along the bottom. It would blend in better if it were blue like the suit. Also the top band isn't really wide enough it's prone to rolling under if you are wearing it too tight, but that problem went away when I sized up. I felt comfortable playing with my daughter in the sand in this. It will be my new go-to swimsuit for a while!

Perfect for Mom Life

This is the second swimsuit I’ve bought from Desert Sage and I’m so content with them. As a front chest-heavy woman it’s hard to find swimsuits that aren’t straight v-cuts to fall out of when you’re chasing children! I’m so happy to find something that works for my body without having to go to a specialty store, and still looks cute!

Not quite right

The white band underneath is pretty snug and the chest area is a little too big. Everything is seen when I bend over. Tried to tighten the straps but it didn’t help unfortunately.

Very comfortable!

Bottoms are super comfy and full coverage!!

YES

This suit is SO cute! As a mom I’ve been wanting much more coverage than is usually offered. This one totally hits the mark, and is actually flattering and pretty! First time I’ve been able to find stylish and covered all in one. 10/10! Thank you!!

Love the coverage

I really wanted this set because of the top but the bottoms are amazing. Great coverage but still feel great about my body in them!

My favorite swim suit

I looked at the suits for a few months before buying one. Mom to a 2 year old and the full coverage was the draw. I am a small person with a tiny ribcage but large chest and swimsuits have always been a problem. This top fits amazing! I feel secure but also cute. Probably going to buy another one before next summer.

Great Quality, Wrong Size

Love the feel of the fabric.
Sadly the websites size guide suggested the wrong size based off of my bust, I think it was actually wanting my band size measurement.

Nice swimsuit!

I love these! Though the crotch is a little less wide than my land's end swimsuit bottoms, it still fits pretty well. I went with a S instead of XS, so the waist wouldn't be super tight, and it fits pretty well. The leg seams are definitely not tight on me and do move around a little bit, but they do the job. Overall I really like them, and the design is cute!

I'm a fan!

Great swimsuit for the price especially - I'm new to bikinis (always been a one piece/tankini girl) and even I felt comfortable in this. I actually like it more than my tankini because it doesn't move around in the water much. I was surprised that the small fit me better than the XS (what I typically wear) but I think it may be because I have more of an athletic build/higher muscle mass. It's also flattering even for small-chested girlies!

Perfect fit

Love this suit

Love it.

This is my second swim suit from here and I absolutely love it it’s full coverage and beautiful. I love how it protects my skin better than those small bikinis but also looks amazing. 100% recommend.

Husband loves them!

Great print and fit. My husband really likes the full swim liner instead of the usual netting that swim trunks come with.

Aria Top- Beautiful!

This swim suit is beautiful! The fit is very nice, and the quality is great! The only downside, is that the straps fit a little long for me, and so I do wish they were adjustable. But still a great suit.

SO CUTE

I loooved nearly everything about this suit. It ultimately didn’t workout because it totally lacks any support in the chest. I wanted to keep this so badly but there’s no way I could.

Soooo comfortable and flattering!

I usually have a hard time finding modest swimwear that is flattering, but these are GREAT!

Perfect!

I got the Miley swim shorts and top, and they are so perfect! The shorts fit so well, and it feels great knowing I can confidently move all around while at the pool or lake with my kids. 10/10!!

Even cuter in person!

Absolutely love this suit! I am 5’9 and about 180lbs with a 36F bust so I ordered the XL. It fits perfectly and my bust is supported. The ruffle detail is adorable. It’s so feminine and beautiful.

Just seems off

I really love this bathing suit however the fit is just off. I do not consider myself to have a long torso and it feels short. Also there seems to be something off with the sewing of the suit, it wrinkles one way at the top.

I feel so confident!

I bought this suit when I was only weeks postpartum with my second daughter and I could not believe how confident I felt in it! I loved that it was flattering and also covered my bum cheeks. I went to the beach with my daughters recently and was able to run around, play in the sand, etc. without worrying about what was flashing to others, or worrying about my own discomfort. I own many suits from here and they continue to be my favorite every single time!

For reference: I am 5’3”, 145 lbs (160lbs when I bought the suit) and I ordered a medium. It fit me when I bought it and still does now. I love it!

Perfection: The swim shorts & Customer service

Hear me out because this is important for all consumers in 2025:

🤍—Swim Shorts Review—
First, I purchased these Miley Swim Shorts in Toasted Mocha and love the way they fit! They don’t ride up, the material stays soft, and the waistband provides some support which I can always appreciate! :) I initially purchased a Medium, since the Large was sold out.
*(Knowing the Large from the other Miley swim shorts (strawberry pattern 😍) fit perfectly), I reached out to the store owner via email to inquire about any chance of a restock so I could make informed decision on whether to return & ensure I followed the return policy.. She replied in less than maybe an hour (?) and verified that there’d be a restock! (If this helps, I’m 5’3”, 135lbs, “hourglass” figure and more athletic legs, 29 in waist, 40 in hips, generally wear “regular” size in clothing vs “petite.”).

🤍—Customer Service—
In a world of automated replies, no ability to reach an actual human being on the other end—the list goes on: I want to acknowledge this business owner who 1) runs a small business (takes a special person without question 🙌) & 2) clearly goes above and beyond to ensure the highest customer satisfaction. I can’t even pinpoint the last time I’ve called a business and received a reply that didn’t require a follow-up on my end and/or a response with the answer being completely “grey. “ I can appreciate the very transparent return policy that explicitly states and outlines exactly how it works. The ethical practice of this business speaks in its thoroughness with policy, communication, & high quality of the swimwear.

My recommendation to anyone seeking to purchase from this store + questions/concerns would be to the use contact method that’s displayed for this reason. Read policies (just as it’s prudent to do so before any purchase, quite frankly). I don’t know about others, but knowing I’m receiving a swimsuit that wasn’t worn by someone/sans hygiene strip at the crotch is a win and then some. 🏆

Bester Bikini, den ich bisher habe

Leider ist mein Englisch zu schlecht. Die bestellten Bikinis passen super und haben eine sehr gute Qualität. Der Versand nach Deutschland ging ohne Problem.

Give it a try!!

I am postpartum 5ish months from baby #3, exclusively breastfeeding all my kiddos going on 5+ yrs , 5’4” and currently 173#. I hold most of my weight in my back and my tummy. I have a low apex on top of L/XL chest. The top is amazing and I’m so thankful to have found a swimmer that doesn’t let my chest sneak out from below and is comfy! I can loosen the shoulder straps to feed and it’s nice they’re also a wide strap.

Most supportive swimsuit

I normally don’t buy one pieces due to my larger chest(36F) but this one is so supportive and fits like a dream. I feel confident and comfortable in it.
