We were lucky to catch up with Sean Evora recently and have shared our conversation below.

Sean, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

I launched EVORA SWIM in March 2019 with the goal of making a difference. I wanted to create a lifestyle brand focused on creating a meaningful impact and helping those in need through comfortable, fashion-forward swimwear that helps people look good & feel good at the same time.

With every piece of clothing purchased on evoraswim.com, we donate a portion of sales directly to Arrive In Kenya. Arrive in Kenya is a non-profit focused generating positive action and sustainable advancement to empower children in impoverished regions of the world by providing shelter, promoting good health, offering access to education and giving at risk children tools and opportunities for a successful, independent, and fulfilling life.

My goal is to help as many children within Arrive’s organization as possible while spreading awareness of this great cause through high quality and ethically conscious swimwear.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Sean Evora and I am the Owner & Founder of EVORA SWIM. We specialize in High Quality, Fashion Forward Men’s Swimwear that supports African Children through ‘Arrive in Kenya’ with a donation coming from every pair sold. Our goal is to spread awareness of this great cause and help as many children as possible while creating exciting new swim trunks that our consumers can’t get enough of. We will always put our mission first and strive to create value in every aspect of our brand. Helping others through our platform will always be our number one priority.

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

The dream for EVORA SWIM is that we become a staple in the mission forward, apparel industry that creates a positive and lasting impact. EVORA SWIM is passion project and very much a side hustle for me as I still work full time in Medical Device Sales. I founded this company back in 2019 because I knew that I could still grow in my career, while also creating a company that could help others and make a difference in the world. I would love to one day focus solely on running a business as my full time gig, but for now EVORA SWIM remains a side hustle that aims at helping others.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.

We sell 100% online through our website www.evoraswim.com. We chose this platform because we wanted control over our mission and brand messaging and did not want to over extend and rush to be in every storefront or listed on Amazon, etc. We are proud to have such amazing products and know that selling them through our website was the best decision for the company. While we are a small brand, scaling slowly and intentionally has always been important to us and we hope that your readers will give Evora Swim a shot!
