It was a typical summer day in July 2021. Lauryl sat poolside with her mom, Deb, just months after having her first child. There they were, living their best lives and chatting about swimwear—Lauryl in a bargain Amazon find with mesh panels and questionable coverage, Deb in a stylish one-piece that didn’t quite meet the moment.

"I had just entered the one-piece swim market post-baby," Lauryl explains. "And I was shocked by how few options felt comfortable or flattering. My choices were either weird cutouts or a Miraclesuit—and neither felt like me."

Like many women, Lauryl had struggled with swimwear fit issues before. Finding bikini tops in high school that accommodated her large cup and small band size had been nearly impossible. "It got so bad, my mom had a custom bikini made for me," she says. "That frustration came right back—plus now I needed function, structure, and a bit of dignity. And it hit hard."

That day by the pool, they started laughing, sharing stories of duct tape, double bras, and teen-year trauma. Then they stopped. Because, really: why was this still a problem?

And that's when it clicked—especially for Deb. After years of watching Lauryl struggle as a teenager, and now again as a new mother, and after trying every so-called solution herself, Deb knew something had to change. She had spent years searching for stylish, supportive swimwear that actually worked, and now, the opportunity to finally fix it was clear.

With Lauryl’s background in retail and Deb’s entrepreneurial spirit, they realized they had everything they needed to build a better solution. And Siren + Sage was born: a mother-daughter swimwear brand committed to creating suits that feel as good as they look, and actually work for women at every stage of life.

"We wanted something that truly fit," Lauryl says. "Something that lifts, shapes, and stays put, but also feels cool, modern, and wearable through all life's layers and transitions."

Then inspiration struck. They loved the layered looks on runways, so why not bring that concept poolside? What if women could get the coverage and sculpting of a one-piece without giving up the structure and lift of a bikini top?

Instead of designing just one perfect swimsuit, they created a system that lets women build a suit that works for their unique body shape and support needs.

Their first-of-its-kind OverKini is a one-piece designed to layer over a bikini top, adding extra coverage, sculpting, and support right where needed. It solves the problem of one-pieces falling flat in the bust or losing shape in the water. Their OverKinis provide the lift and structure of an underwire bikini top with the sleek look and comfort of a one-piece.

The top layer is lightweight and designed to drape seamlessly over their Balconette bikini tops, while the bottom half features shaping power mesh for 360 degrees of smoothing support and no-dig leg openings. The system also allows mixing and matching colors, textures, and sizes—so whether you have a longer torso, a fuller bust, or anything in between, you can find a fit that feels custom-made.

Siren + Sage isn't just about swim—it's about solving a long-ignored problem with thought, style, and a little bit of fun. As a women-owned swimwear brand, they're proud to create space for smarter design and more thoughtful options in a category that's been stuck in the past.

For Lauryl, it's also about family. "My parents have always encouraged me to go for it. And now I get to build this with their full support—and with my two (almost three) little kids along for the ride, too."

Deb feels the same. "It's about doing something meaningful with my daughter—and making something that lasts."

What started as a poolside conversation has evolved into a mission to revolutionize how women experience swimwear. Siren + Sage isn't just creating swimsuits—we’re creating confidence. Because when your swimwear actually fits, supports, and flatters your unique body, you can focus on what really matters: making memories by the water, chasing grandkids across the beach, or simply enjoying the sun without a second thought.
