Dive In: Our New Gardenia and Guava Swimwear Collection Has Arrived!

Dive In: Our New Gardenia and Guava Swimwear Collection Has Arrived!

Hey, water lovers! We’ve got some super exciting news to share: Collection No. 4 is here and it's going to take your beach day to the next level! Whether you're swimming, surfing, or just splashing around, this collection is designed to keep up with your active, adventurous lifestyle while making sure you look amazing doing it.

 

Each limited collection is produced in small-batches with just a few styles. Because of this, we are able to be super intentional with our designs, limit excess, and make sure that it’s very unlikely someone will be wearing the same bikini or print as you on the beach. From research and designing to drawing prints and trying on samples, we are extremely proud of each collection we put out into the world.

Collection No. 4: Active swimwear Pieces

Our latest swimwear collection highlights a bolder shade of magenta we call guava and a matching dark pink print with fluffy gardenia flowers. The hand-drawn pattern is floral and fun, capturing the sweet scent of your neighborhood gardenia bush in full bloom. While this color is one of our more vibrant tones, we didn’t forget about our neutral girlies. Swimsuits in this collection are also available in black and our most popular colorway, cocoa, a silvery brown. Here’s a quick breakdown of all the pieces in our latest collection:

Kawela One Piece Swimsuit

This is the bathing suit for those who want a little more coverage but still love to show off their style. This quick-dry swimsuit has a unique twist design at the center back and is the perfect mix of sporty and cute! The Kawela One Piece Swimsuit features flattering seam work and a v-cut neckline that isn’t too low. Bum coverage is moderate (the same cut as our other one piece bathing suits) with a low cut leg opening that sits at the hip bone. With a seamless design and no hardware, this sustainable swimsuit is super comfortable for playing in the sun all day long.

  • Available in: Cocoa, black, or gardenia print
  • Limited gardenia print reverses to guava color
  • Comfortable fit with no hardware, ties, or padding
  • Moderate bum coverage
  • Entirely double lined (never see through, even in the water)
  • UPF 50+
  • Sizes: XS-XXL

    Makua Bikini Top

    This swimwear collection is all about twists. The Makua Bikini Top has a simple twist in the front that adds some spice to your typical triangle top. Fitting true to size, the highlight of this piece is the back design, which has a thick elastic band and single tie. The adjustable straps can be tied at the back as shown or re-strung in a cross pattern. Either way you tie it, there is no pressure or knot right on your neck. This top offers light support and minimal coverage.

Sleek, comfy, and totally chic.
