When the driving force behind the brand, Noelia Morales, couldn't find a prosthetic option that suited her post-surgery, she found inspiration in a woman wearing an eyepatch. As a result, Anna Bonny the brand was born, with a name that references one of the most notable women in the world of piracy with the same name. Anna Bonny's eyepatch-inspired Original, [Monokini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear) and limited-edition Author designs celebrate a [bold, rebellious spirit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empowering-jewelry).
