Read more“While most brands start with a ‘product’ and then work backwards to create a visionary brand identity, for Vivida its evolution was the exact opposite. Vivida began with the ethos of inspiring healthy, outdoor lifestyles and what resulted was a grassroots community dedicated to leading meaningful, adventurous lives. The evolution of products followed that culture, and in that sense, Vivida started as a community and remains committed to those same principles today.”
— The Kiteboarder Magazine
It’s true, Vivida products aren’t the cheapest, but we design timeless items built to last a lifetime from the best materials with ethical manufacturers.
When it comes to cost per wear alone, Vivida products are incredibly good value for money. As a counter to the fast fashion industry standard, we’re strong believers in slowing things down, buying less and buying better.
When we launch new Vivida designs or phase out older styles, it’s after months or years of product development to ensure we’re constantly providing the best we can for our Community. There’s nothing wrong with our older designs, we just found ways to make them even better.
We like to think a Vivida product is also an excellent investment in your mental health.
The right clothing has an amazing ability to make an individual feel a certain way.
You put on a Vivida bikini and you feel Vivida. You feel alive. You become part of something larger: the movement, the philosophy, the ethos. Today is going to be 'Vivida'. Today is going to be a kick-ass, live life to the fullest, kind of day.
When you buy a Vivida product, you also make an investment in our collective future. Vivida products are timeless, versatile and consciously built to last with recycled, organic and eco materials. We invest time and resources into ensuring our products cause the least amount of harm to our planet as possible. By buying Vivida products, you are making a small step to a better and cleaner world. Also, when you buy from us as a small independent business, a very small group of real people do a happy dance!
You’ll notice that several of our products are often available for pre-order. This sustainable business practice means you may have to wait a little longer than you’re used to before receiving your purchase, but it also means we only order as much product as is in demand, reducing unnecessary waste.

So when you choose Vivida, you’re choosing much more than the product. You’re choosing functional designs that will not only enhance your lifestyle, but also embody your values and identity. By choosing a Vivida product, you are standing by what you believe in, voting with your wallet and making a small step to a better future - go you!
At first glance, the Vivida product range may seem a little random, but there’s one thread that connects each design, and that’s the pursuit of a life well lived.
An integral part of a life well lived for us is Flow State. Our products are all made to facilitate flow. Flow expands beyond sport. Whether it’s surfing, swimming, meditation, yoga, walking, dancing, cooking or photography.
We delight in crafting products to empower adventures with attention to detail, thoughtful touches, surprises and unexpected elements. Vivida is not sport-specific, but rather specific to the feelings that one experiences when pursuing activities that summon the all-encompassing sensations of passion, flow and ‘in-the-moment’ awareness of the here & now.
Dry off, get changed, and warm up in comfort anywhere and everywhere with Vivida’s premium waterproof changing robes. Vivida’s two unique changing robe designs are both changing and drying robe meets luxe parka jacket meets wearable duvet meets portable changing room.
Our unique Puffer Changing Robe has even been celebrated as the Best Premium Changing Robe by the Independent, GQ and Men's Health; Best Puffer Changing Robe by Women's Health and Runner's World; Best Changing Robe for Wild Swimmers by Glamour Magazine; and Best Premium Dryrobe Alternative by TRI247.
Sustainably crafted from eco-friendly materials, our changing robes are designed to stand up to all weathers, creating a joyful swimming experience year-round. Plentiful waterproof pockets will keep your valuables safe and dry, while even the chilliest fingers can manage their easy-grab two-way zips. Easily packed down to fit into tow floats, while roomy enough to wear comfortably while changing into and out of swimwear, our ultra-insulating changing robes are the key to blissful waterside adventures for years to come.
Vivida Changing Robes are also an entertainment industry favourite, being used as Keep-Warm Set Coats by studios when shooting TV, film or music videos.
