Our Story | Zinzina Luxury Swimwear

Founded by Francesca Santoro-Ballota, Zinzina is a tribute to the modern-day Renaissance woman—vibrant, dynamic, and unapologetically bold. Inspired by women who lead with passion, express with artistry, and move through life with fearless elegance, Zinzina is made for those who embody confidence, creativity, and individuality.

“I created Zinzina for the woman who refuses to be ordinary—who walks into a room and owns it, whether she's in Milan, Bondi, or Miami.”
— Francesca Santoro-Ballota, Founder & Creative Director

Our debut collection, Dolce Far Niente, channels the essence of Southern Italy, where beauty, history, and sensuality intertwine. From ancient temples and Byzantine mosaics to sun-drenched citrus groves and hand-painted Sicilian ceramics, every detail tells a story. Designed for the woman who turns heads and lives unapologetically, Zinzina is a celebration of style, freedom, and feminine power.

In just a short time, Zinzina has captured the attention of global fashion media, with two features in British Vogue, the world’s most prestigious fashion publication.

“Being featured in British VOGUE twice is surreal, yes. But more than anything, it’s validating. It shows that a brand born on Australian shores can stand tall on the world stage—and do so with heart, soul, and sophistication.”
