About Us

About Us

Ricki Beach Club began as an ode to beach towns everywhere; the places that shaped us and hold our fondest memories.

It is a way to tell stories. Every capsule is a limited-edition, thoughtfully designed product line that captures a feeling of a beach that makes us whole.

Inspired by beach clubs and spaces that were once exclusive, Ricki Beach Club was designed for everyone. We aim to create a world where people feel welcome. From our fabrics to our events, we value comfort above all else. Every aspect is designed with intention.

Aside from Ricki Beach Club’s Core collection, we partner with creators to design a capsule, inspired by their favorite beach town. We value equity in our relationships and share in the profits. The creator owns the rights to their designs and takes a cut of every product sold.

Meet Lauren

Our Founder

Lauren Browning was born in Barrington, Rhode Island and grew up spending her summers on the shores of New England. In 2014 she moved to New York, where she worked at Business Insider and American Express. While there, she began developing Ricki Beach Club and decided to go to business school at UCLA to study entrepreneurship and launch the brand.

Between 2019 and 2024, the brand evolved from a swimwear brand called Ricki Rum to Ricki Beach Club – a product line inspired by beach towns everywhere. RBC started out as fashion but evolved over time into a lifestyle brand with curated beach guides, summer reading, music playlists, community events and activations, and more.

TRANSPARENCY

We designed our supply chain and manufacturing process to the highest standard.

To keep costs down without compromising the quality of the product, we source premium eco conscious fabrics and make every effort to reduce carbon emissions by bringing production closer to home. Every factory has been vetted for equitable pay standards and fabrics sourced are made from recycled materials.
