Our Story

Katwai began its journey in the summer of 2015, creating surfsuits & swimwear with function, style and comfort in mind. We embrace timeless designs with a touch of retro style, simple lines with a clear concept of functionality. Our pieces adapt to every type of lifestyle, from active to leisure, and can be endlessly mixed-and-matched.

“ Katwai ”

"Wai" a Hawaiian word meaning water is our foundation. All is water; we are water. "Kat" is derived from Catalina (my name). The convergence of my essence with water is the genesis of this project.

A Journey from Waste to Wear

A Journey from Waste to Wear

In 2020 we replaced the use of traditional fabrics with  sustainable options such as ECONYL®, offering an entire collection of swimwear made from recycled ocean plastics. Since then, our fabrics, labels, accessories and packaging have been thought and developed to make a positive impact on the environment.
