1

Pura Vida

We love the sun, but we also love protecting our skin. French-Mexican swimwear brand, Pura Vida, offers one-piece long-sleeve swimsuits that are versatile enough to bring from the water to the club with its chic style and material. The material is also crafted to provide a “generous stretch” to conform to every curve.

Maaji

Summer lifestyle brand, Maaji looks to ocean and summer elements to inspire their designs and produce an “endless-summer” collection of swimwear. The Colombian brand’s signature styles include a “4-way style,” which offers four looks in one, and a “reversible style,” a double-sided swimsuit.

Capittana

Handmade in Lima, Peru, Capittana is a Latina-owned swimwear brand with garment details that are 100% handmade by women. Intricate detailing such as hand-threaded yarn crocheted into colorful patterns and seashells threaded into the material are just a few of the details that take the standard bikini to a new level.

Palo Rosa

With swimwear brand Palo Rosa, It’s easy to look outside of the box (or shall we say triangle bikini). The Colombian brand offers various bathing suit styles including wrap-neck and cut-out one-pieces, bandeau tops, and string bikinis in an array of tropical colorways and patterns.

We all need tried and trusted swimwear in our closet, and Pikua Swimwear checks the boxes by providing a range of swimsuit styles at affordable prices.
