What: A women’s swimwear brand.

Price Range: $150-$250

Founder: Dorothy “DiDi” Day

Origin Story: Dos Gardenias is a women’s swimwear brand made for those who move fast, live loud and feel most like themselves under the sun. Founded in 2017 by Dorothy “DiDi” Day, a sixth-generation Angeleno, she carries forward a family legacy of entrepreneurship and philanthropy while carving her own lane in design and culture.

Her influence extends far beyond swimwear. DiDi’s eye spans fashion, music, architecture, art and design. Before founding Dos Gardenias, she studied photography at Otis and Parsons, curated architectural projects, built a contemporary art collection and became a fixture in L.A.’s creative scene, long before social media amplified it. Whether hosting the most talked-about canyon parties, discovering the next great band, or collaborating beachside, she’s always been a catalyst for culture.

A lifelong ocean devotee, DiDi launched the surf-minded lifestyle magazine Salt in 2005. That same passion for style, adventure and unapologetic individuality inspired her next chapter: building Dos Gardenias into a brand that balances strength, softness and the kind of confidence that never asks for permission.
