About Black Cat Jo

Welcome to Black Cat Jo, designed and handcrafted by me, Joanna Luge. Growing up on the east coast of Florida, spending every summer day at the beach, I developed a love for swimwear, which led me to making them for myself and my friends. I have always been fascinated with anything mid century, surely due to my father taking me thrift store shopping back in the 80's when mid century anything was a dime a dozen. That's when my love of music, fashion, cars, architecture and anything else from the 1940's through the 1970's developed. So naturally I stitched together my love of mid century and fashion, and created this fusion of retro, pinup style swimwear and apparel with a modern twist. 

***********************************************

I custom design and manufacture quality swimwear, competition wear/bikinis, costumes, and clothing for ALL body shapes and sizes. Whether you have 30" hips or 80" hips, I can make something fabulous for everyone. Setting no limits or boundaries, and always open-minded to new projects. If you are looking to have something custom made or maybe you have a favorite dress or swimsuit that's bit the dust and would like it reproduced, contact me to discuss custom work: blackcatjoboutique@gmail.com

All swimwear and apparel are individually made to order, right here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Never mass-produced, and using only top quality fabrics. My swimwear will last several years with the right care.
