These ads from Camay are from the late 1940s. I wanted to share them with you as the illustrations are just too darn cute. Take me away!

About Me

Glamoursurf: Welcome to GlamourSplash. My name is Pamela Fierro and I've been collecting and selling vintage swimwear and fashion for over a decade. We chat about vintage swimsuits, industry leaders, designers, models, photographers; most anything relating to swimming and the art of swimwear. We also cover current trends in the industry. If you love vintage fashion and all things swim, you're sure to find a little something about it here.
