I sourced UPF 50 fabric and had her make me six catsuits with matching skirts. I started wearing them on vacations and at the beach. To my surprise, I noticed that people kept stopping me to ask me where they could buy what I was wearing. After two years and many encounters, I realized that I had a business. There was a need, and I was determined to fill it,&#8221; she shares.<\/p>\n<p>Robbins created\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.watskinsunwear.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WATSKIN<\/a>, a sunwear collection that is created <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/reese-witherspoon-hello-sunshine-deal\/\">with UPF 50+<\/a> fabric to protect anyone no matter where they are at the beach,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.morninghoney.com\/p\/four-types-of-hiking-gear-every-woman-needs\" target=\"_blank\">playing sports<\/a>\u00a0or sitting outside for lunch.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65267\" style=\"width: 853px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-65267 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/09\/20220819_SM_WATSKIN_SHOT_03_167.r1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SILJA MAGG<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;My favorite part is coming up with new ideas and designs for the brand.

Empowering women to be bold about their fashion choices, know that they can be comfortably confident and casual in the most stylish, yet versatile clothing. WATSKIN goes seamlessly from the gym to the pool and lunch! I wear mine with boots and a fabulous leather jacket.
