Launched in 2015 by Sydney-based couple Dani Atkins and Alex Babich, Kulani Kinis was born from a desire to create high-quality, stylish swimwear that didn't break the bank. The brand’s name, a Hawaiian term meaning “like paradise,” reflects its core identity, which is rooted in vibrant colors, tropical prints, and a carefree, sun-kissed lifestyle. Initially sparked by a disappointing online bikini purchase, the founders—a former psychologist and an accountant—set out to offer an affordable luxury alternative, with most sets priced under $100.
