Tech Powered Luxury Oceanus: From Swimwear to Eveningwear with Founder & Designer Hannah Attallah
Hannah Attalah’s journey with Oceanus began with her love for fashion and hand-embroidery. After studying at the London College of Fashion and working with big names like Donna Karan and Jenny Packham, Hannah realized her true passion lays in textiles and elaborate designs. Her work with the intricacies of evening wear and the management of different hand-beading techniques ultimately led her to founding Oceanus, where she could express her love for color, texture, and craftsmanship.
Hannah Attalah is the founder of Oceanus, a London-based luxury brand that is renowned for its intricate hand-embellished swimwear and bold designs inspired by the founder’s love of fashion and textiles.
Oceanus stands out for its distinctive use of hand-beading, sustainable fabrics, and vibrant colors. The brand has achieved international recognition, being featured from the beginning in top retailers like Neiman Marcus and Revolve, while also boasting a strong celebrity following.
The growing demand for luxury swimwear, driven by sustainability, experiential luxury, and social media influence, is consolidating swimwear into a statement of status, with the market projected to reach $30.8 billion by 2032.
