The "Chocolate Dreams" capsule by Capri Swim™ is a love letter to friendship, indulgence, and the magic of the Amalfi Coast. Born from a transformative trip with friends, this capsule captures the Mediterranean’s beauty—the stunning architecture, vibrant art, and deep blue sea. As the sun kissed our skin, our tans deepened into rich chocolate hues, and I knew there was a story to tell.

Inspired by Italy’s tradition of artisanal chocolate-making, I wanted to infuse that same richness and attention to detail into this capsule. The colors reflect that unforgettable trip: deep wine from Italian vineyards, hunter green from lush landscapes, white from sunlit waters, and chocolate from our sun-bathed skin.

This isn’t just swimwear; it’s a celebration of connection, laughter, and effortless elegance. I want everyone who wears "Chocolate Dreams" to feel the warmth, joy, and escape we experienced on that journey. As CEO and Founder, Ashley Capri says, 'Capri Swim™ is an invitation to escape, indulge, and see yourself as art.'
