As Seen On
Sustainable & Handmade Fashion
MakaraWear is a 100% sustainable swimwear and apparel brand. All of our products are handmade in Bali by fair-paid workers. From upcycled materials used by fashion brands in Europe – we make comfortable, beautiful & long-lasting wear.
How It's Made
Step One
Our design process starts with a pen and paper. Making the process enjoyable, creative & filled with unconditional love for the end result.
Step Two
Then, a small Indonesian family-run factory creates 2 to 5 samples to find the most comfortable fit, functionality & cut. All the styles are tested by surfers, friends and the founder.
Step Three
After creating the perfect one, we start producing in very small batches - so every piece is freshly made and sent immediately – without absorbing bacterias or smells.
Step Four
All your ordered goods will come in Linen Cotton Bag – we don’t put plastic hygiene stickers or labels as we believe it’s just another waste, that will end up in trash.
Why I created MakaraWear?
I moved out to Bali to search for a different lifestyle and fell in love with surfing. Surfing became a big part of my life and I decided to create swimwear for myself that would be elegant, functional and of top quality - this how Makara Wear was born. Sustainability became the major part of our process. I believe there's no other way for the fashion world anymore, because we need to take care of our planet. Makara creates what I would wear myself - minimalist, handmade swimsuits with extra details and cuts to hug you like a glove. Most of our products are created with zero waste formula – from leftovers we make scrunchies or bikini bottoms. Also, we support beach clean ups in Bali and small surfer girl communities in Indonesia, who can’t afford sustainable swimwear, we support them and appreciate their force and will. That's why. :)
With Love,
