Babe N’ Suit was founded by Tabria Nalette Rector. A native of Maryland, USA.  She was born to two Deaf Adults, making her a CODA; a Child of a Deaf Adult. Because her first language is sign language, she often pronounced words incorrectly or spoke with a muted tone until receiving speech therapy.  As a little girl, Tabria visited the beach often with her mother, loved it, but distinctly remembers a time when she could not pronounce "bathing suit" correctly.  She would pronounce it as her “babe-n-suit.”  As she got older, she thought it would be fitting to name her swimsuit company just that.

 

Though the name, Babe N’ Suit, was derived from a little girl who could not pronounce “bathing suit” correctly, the company esteems from black women's culture, embracing their bodies with excitement through appealing swimwear. The goal of Babe N’ Suit is to promote excitement and self-confidence while wearing swimsuits ranging from classy to sexy for all women.  There is nothing like a woman’s body as it is unique and wonderfully made. Therefore, it is our hope that every woman feels beautiful and secure while rocking their Babe N’ Suit swimwear.
