Kikakinis are an environmentally conscious brand always ready to face future challenges. Our factories are committed to reducing the ecological impact of non-biodegradable waste and conserve new renewable natural resources

All our suppliers are Oektex- Eco certified, offering products that comply with the environmental conservation standards established by the European Union.

Our fabric printers in Spain and Tunisia are committed to reducing energy consumption and pollution through the integration of sustainable processes and technologies that are more respectful to the environment: Using a direct method of colouring during the extrusion process instead of traditional water-based dyeing, and recycling process of post-industrial and post-consumer waste to avoid the use of virgin polymer.

By shipping all our fabrics and products by sea, it reduces our greenhouse gas emissions considerably to ensure the finished products maintain a below average carbon footprint.

Q-NOVA® is made from more than half of preconsumption waste. These materials were unusable in any other way and would have been disposed as external waste. Q-NOVA®is an environmentally-sustainable recycled Nylon 6.6 fire obtained from regenerated raw materials in accordance with present-day traceability criteria and requirements.

 

OUR STORY

Kikakinis is a sustainable bikini brand founded by Kate Elisabeth.

We are very passionate at Kikakinis to be environmentally conscious and doing what is best for the planet. The bikinis we produce are made out of Q-Nova, Econyl & SEAQUAL® YARN which is made from more than half of pre-consumption waste and recycled fishing nets. These materials were unusable in any other way and would have been disposed as external waste. Our bikinis are 87% recycled polyester and shipped by sea from Tunisia, reducing greenhouse gas emissions considerably to ensure the finished products maintain a below average carbon footprint.

You may also know the owner, Kate Elisabeth, as the girl who went to boarding school and has since become a content creator. She has always had a huge passion for travelling and wearing a bikini is basically her uniform, so creating swimwear just made total sense. I hope you LOVE the pieces as much as we do x
