Summer Strings

My name is Gretchen Matzke and I am the founder of Summer Strings.

I remember my first bikini. It was expensive but thin, made from itchy material. 

Even though the fabric irritated my skin and the straps left deep red lines across my chest and hips, I loved it.

I loved it because at sixteen I figured, that in order for others to find me beautiful, I would have to sacrifice my comfort.

Now, I want those who engage with Summer Strings to know that their comfort cultivates beauty. On the beach in the water, in the store with themselves, and beyond with others. 

Flattering cuts, in soft fabric, developed with your feedback.
