Made in Portugal
Crafted with purpose • Portugal
Every stitch. Every seam. Made by us.
At Kanawa, we don't outsource what matters most.
Design, cutting, sewing, finishing, and packaging - all done by us, in Portugal, with our own team, under our own roof.
That's not just a detail. That's the whole point.
Behind every Kanawa bikini, there's a real person - hired in Portugal, paid fairly, and working in conditions we're proud of. Our team is small enough to care about every piece that leaves our hands, and skilled enough to make it perfectly.

Our team Our team is 100% adult, 100% contracted, 100% proud of what they make.
Fair working conditions Our team works in a safe, respectful environment - protected by Portuguese labour law, one of the strongest in Europe.
Safe working conditions Our production space is our space - we control the environment, the hours, and the standards. No hidden floors, no hidden costs.
Full transparency We know exactly where every material comes from and who touched it. No surprises, no shortcuts.
Design Every piece begins with an original in-house design, crafted to achieve the perfect fit we are so proud of.
Cutting Precise cutting in-house means less waste and consistent sizing across every piece we make.
Sewing Hand-sewn by our team. Every seam is checked. No rushed lines, no corners cut.
Finishing The final touches that make the difference - done by the same people who started the piece.
Packaging Packed by us, with care. What arrives at your door reflects the same attention as what's inside.
Portugal has one of the oldest and most respected textile traditions in Europe. From fine linen to technical fabrics, Portuguese manufacturing is synonymous with precision, durability, and attention to detail. It's not a coincidence that the world's best fashion brands choose Portugal to make their most demanding pieces. We chose it because it's home - and because the standard here is simply higher.
When you buy Kanawa, you're not just buying a bikini. You're choosing a product made by people who are respected, in a place that takes pride in its craft.
Made in Portugal. Made with people. Made to last.
