Founded in 2014 by Reo Palmer, Inka Williams, and Frances Elliott—three friends raised in Bali—Akoia Swim was born out of a desire for authentic, locally crafted swimwear. The brand is rooted in the island's rich artisanal heritage, specializing in hand-crocheted bikinis, one-pieces, and resort wear. Each piece is meticulously crafted by home-based women artisans in Bali using 100% natural cotton yarn and natural dyes, reflecting a deep commitment to slow fashion and ethical production.
