A mother-and-daughter duo, rooted in the vibrant culture of Quebec City, Canada, turned their long-held dream into a remarkable reality with the launch of their inaugural swimwear collection under the brand Julia Francina in early 2019. Driven by a shared passion for fashion and an unbreakable bond of friendship, they embarked on a creative journey to design swimwear that embodies both elegance and individuality.
From the outset, their mission was to craft pieces that are as unique as their relationship, combining artistry with a deep understanding of the needs of discerning customers. Their designs reflect a harmonious blend of style and comfort, capturing the essence of modern femininity.
With a commitment to quality and innovation, they poured their hearts into every collection, ensuring that each piece resonates with those who wear it.

Her artistic intuition guides her creative process, enabling her to infuse each piece with a distinctive personal touch. Liza approaches her work with spontaneity, often starting with a simple sketch that evolves into captivating designs, capturing the essence of modern femininity.
In contrast, Co-Founder and Director of Operations Marie plays an essential role in shaping the brand's identity. With a keen eye for detail, she meticulously oversees the selection of colors, fabrics, and prints, ensuring that each element aligns seamlessly with Liza’s creative vision. Marie’s expertise allows her to curate a harmonious palette that enhances the overall aesthetic, thoughtfully integrating these choices into Liza’s designs to create a cohesive collection.
They work in perfect harmony, blending creativity and practicality to deliver timeless pieces that celebrate the contemporary woman. Their collaboration embodies a shared commitment to quality and innovation, as they strive to create garments that not only reflect current trends but also stand the test of time. Through their designs, they empower women to express their individuality and embrace their unique style, offering a wardrobe that resonates with elegance and sophistication.
