From the year
that broke us all —
came a brand.

2020 was the year the world stopped. For our founder, Leanna Shadlow, it was also the year everything personal came undone — a career lost, a relationship ended, and the quiet realization that the life she'd been building no longer belonged to her.

But inside that unraveling was something else: a spark. A long-held passion for designing unique, custom bikinis — pieces that didn't exist anywhere else. She picked up a needle, picked up a dream, and picked herself up.

"I wanted to create something I could be proud of," Leanna says. "Something nobody could take away from me."

That something became Demon Bikini — a woman-led, American-made label born from the belief that every woman deserves to feel absolutely amazing in her own skin.

Feel Amazing in Your Skin

Designed to make you feel incredible exactly as you are.

"Demon Bikini was born from a desire
to help women feel amazing in their own skin
with unique bikinis that were handmade in the USA."

— Leanna Shadlow, Founder

Custom, unique,
unapologetically yours.

From day one, Leanna has been obsessed with creating bikinis you cannot find anywhere else. Every cut, every print, every finish is researched and refined until it feels right — bold, confident, and built to make the woman wearing it feel like the most magnetic person in the room.

We work in small batches because we care about getting it right — not pushing volume. Each piece is quality-checked by hand before it ever reaches your door.

This isn't mass-market swimwear. It's wearable confidence, handmade for the woman who refuses to look like everyone else.

Built to lift
other women up.

From the very first year, Demon Bikini has shown up for the community that supports it. We've partnered with multiple charity initiatives raising funds for women and families — because success only matters if you bring someone with you.

That commitment caught the attention of Inscriber Magazine, which featured Demon Bikini in its inaugural year. But the press coverage isn't the point. The point is simple: when a woman-led brand wins, every woman connected to it should win too.

Every bikini you wear supports a woman who took a leap of faith — and the women her brand chooses to stand beside.

"Demon Bikini is for the women who are not afraid to own who they are — and stand out while doing it."

Demon Bikini was built with one clear purpose: to create high quality swimwear that makes women feel confident, powerful, and unapologetically themselves.

Before launching this brand, I spent over a decade working in the automotive industry — a fast-paced and male-dominated space that taught me resilience, discipline, and how to build something from the ground up. It shaped my work ethic, but it also showed me what it feels like to be underestimated.

I am also a mom. My son is the reason behind so much of what I do. I want him to grow up knowing that no matter what life throws at you — even when your world feels like it has been turned upside down — you can still rebuild, push forward, and create something meaningful. Demon Bikini is a reflection of that mindset.

The idea came from a gap I kept running into. I loved high-end swimwear, but I wanted something made in America, built with quality, and accessible for women who still wanted that same confident, elevated look. I saw the gap — and I filled it.

Every Demon Bikini is handmade in the USA, and that is something I am incredibly proud of. We focus on premium materials, flattering fits, and styles designed to enhance your natural shape — not hide it. Each piece is created with intention so that when you put it on, you feel confident the moment you catch your reflection.

Alongside building this brand, I stepped into the world of offshore powerboat racing and became the only female driver in my class. Competing in a high-speed, high-pressure environment against seasoned competitors has reinforced everything this brand stands for — confidence, resilience, and the willingness to show up and stand out, even when you are the only one doing it.

Demon Bikini has grown beyond swimwear. We are expanding into athletic wear — leggings, shorts, and sports bras — along with board shorts and custom sublimated pieces like race jerseys, shirts, hoodies, and more. Every product is designed with the same attention to quality, performance, and style that built this brand from the beginning.

One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been connecting with customers in real life — at races, events, and meetups. Giving back to the community and being part of something bigger than just selling a product is a huge part of what Demon Bikini stands for.

This is not just about swimwear. It is about confidence, strength, and proving to yourself that you are capable of more than you ever thought possible.
