The ocean's calling...
As is the case for all children of the sea, sometimes life catches us in its currents, taking us further away from where we want to truly be.
Unlike the lucky few who grow up by the ocean, most of us only discover the magical pull of the waves later on in our lives.
Our first taste of the ocean leaves us yearning for more. Even though it hurts to say "one last wave", in our hearts we know that it's just an obligatory pause.
Once you catch the surf bug, how could you not return? How could you not want to spread the love for the ocean and for the surf?
Hi, I'm Beckie, and that's why I started Haikini!
Haikini began in 2018 as a way to fill the gap in the swimwear market for functional, stylish & affordable surf swimwear. As the brand grew, so did our mission – we wanted to bring the joy of surfing to more girls in Asia.
Our design philosophy
We view swimwear as a canvas for artistic expression, where style meets purpose. Our designs not only look great but are engineered for functionality.
It's comfortable enough to live in and strong enough for the girl who fearlessly chases the waves. You focus on having fun, and let us worry about the rest!
Conscious production
All of your Haikini swimsuits are handmade in Bali in small batches.
In minimising our environmental impact, our production emphasises on the responsible use of resources and reducing wastage through up-cycling & adopting preorder business models.
- Waste Reduction Practices: All our fabric offcuts are repurposed into free pouches that come with every purchase. Oftentimes, we also purchase these offcuts from our fabric suppliers.
- Custom Preorders: As a small business, we can't stock every style and colour, but that’s where Haikini's Custom Orders come in. You can personalise your favourite styles in the colour of your choice, and each custom order is carefully sewn in-house at our Bali studio.
- Designed to last: All Haikini's swimsuits are built with durability in mind. This discourages the "fast fashion" cycle, where cheaply made clothes are quickly discarded. Durable designs reduce the amount of clothing that ends up in landfills, and you also spend less in the long-run. Buy less, buy well.
Our production is not 100% perfect (although we strive to be), but we are always happy to help you with any quality issues. If you have a request, please feel free to contact us on Instagram @haikini.co or email us at hai@haikini.co!
