Our Story

 

“Sent from the sea, born on the shores of Bali”

At Thaikila, we embrace beauty, innovation, and sustainability at our core.  

Creating ‘Tralala’ swimwear for the maximalists and ‘Essentials’ for the inner minimalists,
we celebrate and take
 inspiration from nature, culture, and art. 

Each collection is conceptualised and created at our Bali-based studio and production house
where our garments are carefully designed and thoughtfully made with you in mind.


the company

Born in Paris in 1989 by Marie Laure Becquelin, Thaikila found its way onto the island of Bali in 2002 and remains as one of the connoisseurs of swim. 

Operated by a group of international companies based in Bali, Indonesia, Thaikila is licensed to Thaikila LLC. The French-designed brand is recognized worldwide, retailing in more than 105 countries and franchising its concept in 20 owned-stores operating under the brand name THAIKILA.

Vertically integrated in production, everything is made in-house. Our self-owned factory stretches over 50,000 square feet, allowing flexibility and ensuring high quality manufacturing.


the factory

Thaikila is designed and manufactured entirely in Bali. Local hand craftsmanship and technological innovation are combined to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Thaikila swimwear is produced under one roof in our self-owned factory allowing stringent quality control.

The Thaikila headquarters is divided into several production units:

A Creative Loft for our crafty sampling and design team.

The Factory Floor for producing our bikinis and accessories such as sandals, cover ups, pouches and jewelry.

The Workshop creating displays & visual merchandising decorations for shops, franchises and event props.

Marketing Agency & Studio managing our seasonal campaigns, photoshoots, marketing initiatives and artworks. Including a 3D architect for franchise interiors.


innovation

Where leading fashion technology meets masterful hand craftsmanship.

From quick-drying elements to sand, chlorine, oil, and corruptive-agent resistant propertiesour high quality bikinis are made to last.

Starting from our fabrics, right down to our elastics – Every detail is designed and developed with the utmost caremanufactured in-house using the latest equipment and techniquesmay that be laser cutting, ultrasonic welding, hand-dyeing, or hand-crafting.

From plastic-sourced microfiber materialsto ergonomic functions such as our ‘Invisible Lift’ program, our purpose of sustainability without compromising aesthetic beauty has pushed us to stay ahead of the curve in innovation and creation– and we wouldn’t have it any other way.


sustainability

We love nature and the world we live in. 

Devoted to doing our part towards a plastic-free future, we embrace ecological sustainability and stewardship as a prime responsibility.

Discarded plastic bottles are recycled and transformed into the luscious fabrics that we use to create our beautiful swimwear, such as our ultra soft and stretchy vegan suede.

Each purchase comes with a reusable pouch, hand-made in our factory, instead of single-use plastic packaging.

Even our hang tags are crafted from disposed paper documentsrecycled straight from our office.

It is our mission to lead, inspire, and pave the way towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
