Ethically made swimwear & apparel, designed for and modeled by bodies like yours. Sizes XS - 4X

Nettle's Tale began (and continues today) with a vision of creating honest, inclusive, everyday swimwear. Launched in 2014 via a wildly successful crowdfunding campaign, each swimsuit style was designed for, named after, and modeled by a different woman in owner Julia Church's life. We believe garments should work for your body, not the other way around. We believe in inclusivity, contributing to

A quick talking head to talk tariffs! 

The proposed 50% tariffs on Canadian made goods is going to affect businesses differently, but for us it thankfully won’t change much! 

At this time, only two styles will be affected: the Strait Tee and the Cropped Big Tee. If you’re an American customer interested in either style, please place your order before August 10th so we have plenty of time to get it sent out for you. 

Otherwise, it’s business as usual! When you’re shopping online, you’re seeing a localised catalogue of items that will ship to you, no guess work needed.

If you’ve got questions, I’m happy to answer them below 💖

We ❀ the Cropped Big Tee!

This tee is a wardrobe staple: perfectly cropped, a star on its own or easy to layer, made from 95% Cotton and 5% Spandex so its soft AND structured AND has a little bit of stretch
wow!

Available in four colours, sizes XS - 4X

but everyone’s got favourites!

Play a quick game of this or that with us, and let us know which one piece reigns supreme, which wardrobe staple you’re reaching for every time, which swim bottom you’re wearing to swim and grab an espresso tonic in after!
