Kapu Bikinis translates to tabu in Hawaiian, Hence the
name because they are tiny suits and could be considered
tabu by some.
Kapu Bikinis was launched in 2006; I was inspired as a local
boy that grew up on the beach in Hawaii enjoying the surf,
girls in their bikinis and photography. We have so much
natural beauty in Hawaii why not show off some of the
beautiful women that are here and come to the islands. In
fact I sold bikinis in college to make some extra cash and
imagined a company down the road that could fulfill all my
passions.
The swimwear caters to women who are looking to show
off their bodies, feel good about themselves and be able
swim and surf as well as just relax and tan. The fabric is
long lasting and the colors don’t fade. Women tell me they
trust the quality of the suits not becoming loose in the
water or falling apart after a lot of sun and water exposure.
The type of women that enjoys our suits range from teens
to women in their 50’s. Women enjoy our product and are
comfortable and confident with their bodies. They love
that Kapu suits are so light it feels like they are wearing
nothing at all. Our suits make a statement and they grab
attention wherever a Kapu woman goes. What women
doesn’t want to be appreciated for her beauty.
Kapu is sold only in Hawaii and Hulakai Store in Mauna
Lani on the Big Island. Our swimwear has been featured in
car shows; stand up paddle races and on “My Antonio.”
We are launching a new site soon, you can view the suits at
www.kaluhawaii.com/catalog/ or you can find us on Face
Book at Kapu Hawaii, or call 808-990-0334.
