About Us

Company

Salty Bottom is a female-founded travel brand, originally launched as a luxury swimwear line. We've since expanded to offer stylish luggage accessories for women who love to explore. Our mission is to empower women with products that make travel both safe and chic, while fostering a community of confident, adventurous travellers. Founded by Jess Staron, Salty Bottom is all about blending style with practicality—helping women feel prepared and unstoppable wherever they go.

Founder

Jess, aged 32, knows the struggle of body confidence all too well. Rejected by a modeling agency at 14 for having "too wide hips," she battled with self-esteem. Shopping for mainstream swimwear only added to her frustration—nothing seemed to fit her tall, wide frame just right, and it was both exhausting and expensive.

Fed up with the lack of options, Jess spotted a gap in the market for affordable, flattering swimwear separates from British brands. Coupled with her passion for travel, she saw an opportunity to launch a brand for young, carefree women who want to feel confident in their own skin on the beach.

Taking matters into her own hands, Jess designs her swimwear with full creative control on the Sunshine Coast of Eastbourne, UK. Her designs cater to everyone, featuring bespoke adjustable features and mix-and-match separates to ensure the perfect fit for every body shape.
