Paula Hermanny, Founder ViX Swimwear
It's probably no fluke that PAULA HERMANNY ended up designing bathing suits: The creative force behind the super-sexy swimwear line ViX, grew up in the Brazilian beach city Vitoria under the watchful eye of two seamstress grandmothers. Her passion for the water goes beyond bikinis, too: She's partnered with the non-profit Nika to bring clean water to thousands of people along the Amazon (ViX is donating $11 per bikini set in all of July, so if you need one, get it now). Based out of San Diego, Hermanny still spends a lot of time in the ocean. We had to know what she takes with her.
Here, the 10 things that Paula Hermanny packs for the beach.
