Noa Kai Swimwear ison a mission to shake the notion that swimwear is one dimensional. We have created a brand of ‘interchangeable basics’ that is versatile, flexible, timeless, exceptionally designed, that will always be in style.
Mika is the design half of Noa Kai. Timeless, feminine and elegant shapes are complemented by her Japanese aesthetic for clean lines. Nothing is overdone, nothing is without a purpose.
We went on a 48 hour Palm Springs road trip to capture lifestyle shots of some new Noa Kai Swimwear styles. Looking forward to sharing these suits with you on our website in the upcoming months!

Read their interview with Noa Kai Swimwear co-founder Mari.
As someone who is insta-shy myself, it was extremely difficult to wrap my brain around the concept of brand collabs and UGC marketing. But I’ve come to realize how necessary––and not to mention––how much fun collabs can be.
Design is a visual medium so having wall space to post our notes, measurements, inspo photos and fabric swatches is important to us and keeps us focused on the project.
Our team is involved in every step of the creative process. From designing the swimsuits, to building the website, to hand-drawing our own infographics––we put our personal touch on all aspects of the business.
There is nothing more liberating than floating in the sea, being one with your environment. We wanted our name Noa Kai to invoke a feeling and a calmness that would carry through to our designs. We design with simplicity and minimalism in mind.
Living this nomadic life of adventure, working from the road, and building businesses along the way taught me to be self-sufficient and to survive with extraordinarily little. It taught me to rely on two important things—my family and my creativity. The result: Noa Kai Swimwear.
