Meet the founder

As a free spirit and beach lover, my worldwide adventures showed me that the perfect bikini needed to be as versatile as the women wearing it. Watching sunsets in Bali, exploring in Europe, and lounging on Australia's pristine beaches, I dreamed of creating sustainable swimwear that could keep up with every adventure. That's how BNKD Swim was born - from a traveler's desire to combine sustainability with style, using luxe Italian fabrics to craft reversible bikinis that tell their own travel story.

Our Mission & Values

At BNKD Swim, our mission is simple: to create sustainable swimwear that empowers beach lovers to explore more while impacting less. We believe that great design and environmental responsibility can coexist beautifully, which is why every piece in our collection is thoughtfully crafted from premium recycled materials. We believe in doing more with less. Our reversible designs and adjustable fits aren't just about style – they're about reducing waste while maximizing your wardrobe.

Behind The Scenes

Every BNKD Swim piece begins its journey in Australia, where our designs are thoughtfully crafted to embody the free-spirited essence of beach life. While our creative heart beats in Australia, our manufacturing soul lives in Bali, where we've built a meaningful partnership with our skilled artisans. This isn't just a typical manufacturer relationship – it's a collaboration built on trust, quality, and shared values.
