Black Friday Isn’t Our Wave — Here’s Why Billie Swim Sits This One Out

Why Billie Swim Doesn’t Do Black Friday

Every year, as November rolls in, inboxes fill up with countdowns, flash sales, and urgent reminders that “everything must go.” Black Friday has become a global moment of buying fast and buying more, often without stopping to ask why.

At Billie Swim, we believe in doing things differently. Here’s why you won’t see us joining the Black Friday frenzy.

1. We Don’t Believe in Fast Fashion Pressure

Black Friday encourages impulse buying, the kind that leads to overconsumption and products that don’t get the love they deserve. Billie Swim was created to step away from that cycle.
Our pieces are designed to be timeless, not tied to trends or seasons. We want each bikini you buy to feel intentional, loved, and worn for years, not tossed into a drawer because it was a last-minute bargain.

2. Sustainability Isn’t Seasonal

Sustainability isn’t a marketing moment. It’s a commitment.
Huge discount days often push brands to overproduce, creating waste, excess stock, and environmental strain. That’s the opposite of how we operate.

Billie Swim produces in small batches with a slow-fashion mindset. We create only what we believe can be worn and cherished — not what can be discounted.

3. Honest pricing.
We price our swimwear honestly, no inflated prices during the year. No sudden drops to push sales.

When you invest in Billie Swim, you’re paying for quality materials, thoughtful design, more sustainable production, and a piece that’s made to last, not the artificial highs and lows of retail gimmicks

4. We Don’t Want to Rush You

A bikini should feel right — in how it fits, how it moves with your body, how it makes you feel. And choosing one shouldn’t be stressful or urgent.
Black Friday shifts the focus to speed over experience, and that’s not the Billie Swim way. We want you to take your time, compare styles, ask questions, and choose a set that truly feels like you.

5. Quality Over Chaos

Behind every Billie Swim piece is care: in fabric selection, in production, in craftsmanship. Offering deep Black Friday discounts would mean compromising somewhere — quality, fairness, or sustainability. And we’re not willing to sacrifice any of those.

We’d rather give you a product we’re proud of than sell something cheaply just because the calendar says so.

6. Because We’re Building Something That Lasts

Billie Swim isn’t built on hype or trends.

Opting out of Black Friday is our way of protecting that vision.

Instead, we focus on thoughtful collections and creating pieces that make you feel confident and empowered — not overwhelmed by sales.

7. We Don’t Do Discounts — Except for Our Community

While we steer clear of mass discount culture, we do love to spoil our community from time to time.
If we ever offer a special price or early access, it’s always community-related — a thank you to the people who genuinely support us, not a reaction to a commercial holiday.

If you want to be the first to know, make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter. That’s where we share exclusive moments, surprises, and the rare treat we save only for our Billie Swim family.

A Thank You, From Us

Choosing to support slow, intentional brands is a powerful statement. It tells the world you care about quality, ethics, and the impact of your choices.

Thank you for being part of this journey — for choosing timelessness over trends, and for supporting a swimwear brand that believes in doing things differently.

With love,
Billie Swim
