Bali based swimwear company, Akoia Swim, draws inspi-
ration from raw island beaches and swaying palm trees for
their swanky beach collections. Founders of Akoia Swim,
Reo Palmer, Inka Williams, and Frances Elliott, were just
teens when they created their effortlessly elegant swim-
wear brand, with a vision for an environmentally sustainable
business model. Now they present their newest swimwear
collection: 'Humba,' influenced by the island's traditional
weaving of naturally dyed Ikat fabrics. Each look from the
collection is uniquely crafted with 100% organic cotton, cro-
cheted by hand and made with love for a chic meets bohe-
mian look that is earth friendly.
