This Friday, May 16, 2025, Ashley Carey Espérant launched the new website for her swimsuit brand: Ashley Swimwear. From a simple passion for swimsuits, this Haitian woman has developed a business model that deserves our full attention.
A 3rd-year bachelor's student in plant biotechnology, Ashley divides her life between her studies in Morocco, a taste for adventure, travel, and swimsuits. After completing her secondary education, she explains that the sociopolitical situation in Haiti disrupted her plans. Unable to continue her studies in her home country, she obtained a scholarship to study in Morocco in 2022. Since her arrival, she has earned a university degree in Biology, Chemistry, and Geology.
Before her departure, already immersed in the world of family business, this young entrepreneur had launched her first initiative: Shop Your Kini, where she resold bikinis in Haiti, purchased abroad and adapted to her aesthetic taste.
With great modesty, Ashley explains that she handled all the branding for her new brand: from logo design – inspired by Moroccan culture – to management and marketing. She works on all fronts to make Ashley Swimwear shine. When asked if she plans to expand her activities into other commercial sectors, Ashley responds in the negative. Her goal is to strengthen her brand to become a benchmark in the swimwear world.
Ashley Swimwear is thus both the expression of a passion and the symbol of an assertive personality – that of Ashley Carey Espérant.
