Akua Swim is a luxury swimwear and resortwear brand founded by Danika Lee in Kelowna, British Columbia. Every piece is made in small batches using recycled Italian Carvico ECONYL fabric, with the signature Shell Collection featuring hand-sewn mother-of-pearl. The brand has been worn by creators and tastemakers around the world, and the Shell tops have sold out multiple times since launch.
It's creation, connection, and collaboration. The scent of rain, the earth beneath our bare feet. The feeling when a swimsuit fits just right. This is woven into every design, event, and experience Akua brings into the world.
A Message From Danika
Swimwear is just the beginning. It’s a way to connect with nature, express creativity, and inspire confidence in the everyday moments. Each piece is designed with intention. Crafted not just to fit the body, but to honour the experience of living fully.
My mission is simple: to create timeless, unique swimwear/resortwear that empowers women, celebrates beauty in all its forms, and supports a life rooted in adventure and authenticity.
Akua is a reflection of my belief that when we embrace both style and purpose, we make every moment meaningful. I’m grateful to be on this journey with you, creating something truly special along the way.
Together ~ we’re going somewhere beautiful.
