About Tara Grinna
A Visionary Legacy of Style (Tara Grinna, EST. 1987)
For over 35 years, Tara Grinna has been a renowned fashion house defined by "Fashion with Impeccable Taste." Twice voted a Top 5 swimwear brand in North America by the prestigious European publication Intima Magazine, the label has evolved from its iconic swimwear roots into a complete luxury resort brand. Today, the collection also includes accessories like handmade sunglasses , raffia hats and bags, headbands and scarves, and limited-edition leather footwear and handbags—all handcrafted in the House’s partner artisanal factories in Italy or inside the family operated manufacturing facility in South Carolina.
The Cross of Justice & Noble Verification
The brand’s founder, Tara Grinna, was recently honored in Madrid, Spain, where after exhaustive research and verification of Hidalgo, she was invested with the Cross of Justice by the Noble Chapter of Ferdinand VI. The Noble Chapter operates under the distinguished protectorate of Raphael Melgarejo de la Pena, the Duke of San Fernando de Quiroga, a Grandee of Spain whose patronage underscores the legitimacy of this recognition within the highest tiers of European nobility.
A Lineage Woven in Art
Tara’s heritage is inextricably tied to the history of Western art as a descendant of the 15th-century French aristocrats who commissioned the world-renowned The Lady and the Unicorn (La Dame à la licorne) tapestries, hanging in the Cluny Museum in Paris. These tapestries are considered the most important textile art in the world.
The Bridge Between Eras
Today, Tara’s work acts as a living bridge, connecting the storied looms of the Enlightenment with modern luxury. She spends much of her time in Italy, working directly with elite suppliers and factories that serve only the world’s top luxury houses. Whether manufactured in the family-owned factory in the USA or with her Italian partners, every exclusive print and handmade accessory serves as a contemporary testament to her heritage.
Our Commitment to Exclusivity
In honor of the bespoke excellence of her ancestors’ commissions, Tara Grinna remains a "small batch" label, purposefully absent from department stores to ensure its status as a coveted, collectible brand. Known for being "size inclusive" and flattering even the most difficult to fit, the brand offers gorgeously luxurious fabrications and top quality findings that allow clients to create a uniquely personal look. No matter where your next holiday takes you, Tara Grinna is designed to be in your suitcase—cherished for years as a rare fusion of noble history and artisanal integrity.
Experience the legacy. Wear the art.
