Manakai Swimwear

"Best swimsuits I’ve ever had! I have four of Kelley’s pieces and I’ve had three for four years! I have the Kava one piece in two colors because I love the style so much. They are reversible, sustainable and hold up so well. If you’re able to go in person you’ll have a magical experience. Kelley has an amazing gift of helping select the most flattering styles for you and also shows you a multitude of ways to style the two pieces. She’s helped me get out of my comfort zone and feel so confident in doing so. You really get so many suits in one and they hold up better than any others I’ve ever owned."

"As a person who is in tune with positive vibrations, my intuition guided me off the beaten path to a radiant boutique storefront which housed jewel-like garments and an aura of love, confidence and caring. For me, I find difficulty finding a bathing suit that I’m excited to wear and comfortable wearing. The suit Kelley, the owner guided me too was an exception. My whole perception of a bandeau two-piece swimsuit changed. These are, “Empowerment” bathing suits. Her garments are inspiring. I feel proud to wear my gorgeous, environmentally conscience and sustainable suit. I have only high praise for this beautiful human being. Stop by and speak to her. She will re-fuel your positivity and encourage your love for the environment and inspire confidence in your individuality. She is determined to succeed. And it’s been a journey. If you purchase one bathing suit on Maui, make it a Manakai and invest in self expression, unity and sustainability. Mahalo Kelley"

"I have purchased one bikini and one full-piece from Manakai. I love that this business is focused on empowering women and making them feel beautiful in whatever swimwear they choose! I am also environmentally conscious so I really appreciate that the suits are made from recycled fishing nets! The eco-boutique is heavenly and I always love the inspiring content on social media (@manakaiswimwear). Will hopefully be purchasing a "She's Solid" piece soon!!"

"As an active Hāna-girl born and raised in and around the ocean, I've worn every type of suit imaginable, in all types of conditions, but have never felt the way I do in my Manakai. I have the confidence it will stay on as well as the empowerment that the choice I've made is one that directly aligns right back to my passion and source, the ocean. And the store front is a mini-sanctuary, from both the hot Lahaina sun and any form of judgement, especially my own ;)"

"Not only is this pop up style boutique filled with charm and one-of-a kind ladies swimwear. You're welcomed with friendliness and open hospitality. While my daughter shopped for a bikini top, I sat on the sidewalk chair and enjoyed talking with the Owner about her many pieces for sale. The perfect fitting top was found and we made our purchase! The pieces are reversible so you enjoy 2 colored pieces for the price of one!! Manakai Swimwear - Hawaii’s only sustainable and ethically produced (in the U.S.A.) swimwear company. Manakai has been in many publications and has been nominated in several honorable categories as an outstanding business here on Maui. This is Kelley's first Eco-Boutique which is located right in the heart of Lahaina Town: 888 Front Street! Kelley Chapman, the Owner and Designer operates her small business with a high level of integrity. She's dedicated to provide a growing conscience community with one-of-a-kind, well made, sustainable and ethical swimwear while supporting and empowering others toward ocean conservation. How inspiring! I wouldn't want to spend my money anywhere else for swimwear!!"
