Welcome to Kaihana
Kaihana is an eco-friendly beachwear brand founded in 2024 by Neni, founder of Studioreef. Inspired by the ocean and a sunny lifestyle, Kaihana designs unique pieces for those who celebrate freedom, nature, and timeless elegance.
Guided by a Solar & Conscious philosophy, our approach combines refinement, commitment, and ethics. Each bikini, sarong, and silk scarf is carefully designed, developed in France, or responsibly sourced from workshops that respect sustainable values. We favor natural and recycled materials, ensuring more conscious fashion, without compromising on quality or sensuality.
More than a brand, Kaihana embodies a free and solar elegance, the soul of the ocean , where each creation tells a story of infinite horizon and respect for the planet.
"Kaihana: 100% French silk scarves, for the love of the sea and fashion"
“Exceptional silk squares.”
Meeting with the founder
In 2024, Neni launched Kaihana , a brand born between Bordeaux, the Landes region, and the ocean, inspired by her passion for surfing, nature, and illustration. A committed illustrator and designer, she dreamed of creating a sunwear brand that combined art, freedom, and ethics. Tired of impersonal products disconnected from the ocean, she imagined Kaihana as an ode to the sea: silk scarves, vibrant pareos, and a beachwear line with a unique feel.
Influencers like coolette and Bérénice (BBCVL) have placed their trust in the brand and perfectly embody this free and sunny spirit, between relaxed elegance and seaside lifestyle.
More than a brand, Kaihana is an intimate connection with the ocean . 🐚✨
Mission & Commitment
At Kaihana , every creation is an ode to the ocean. More than a brand, it's a commitment: to preserve our blue planet while offering unique and responsible pieces.
A member of the Hope Waves association, Kaihana donates 1% of its turnover to support ocean conservation. My commitment doesn't stop there: I actively support associations dedicated to the protection of marine biodiversity, animal welfare, and women's health.
I favor local partners or those who share my ethical and sustainable values, with thoughtful production to minimize environmental impact.
🐚 Sunny, free and committed, Kaihana combines elegance and awareness. 🌊✨

FAQ
Use the FAQ section to answer your customers' most frequent questions.
Why are your products not in permanent stock?
At Kaihana, we choose to work in small batches and on pre-orders. This is explained by several simple but essential reasons:
We don't have the budget to produce large quantities in advance.
It’s an eco-responsible choice: no overproduction, no waste.
Each piece is designed, manufactured and shipped from a small personal workspace, not from a warehouse or massive storage: a choice that reflects our commitment to responsible production, on a human scale.
Our parts are made in France and produced in small quantities, which costs more per unit.
If we were to produce too much and then sell it off cheaply, it would undermine the value of labor and our economic viability. Our prices are already fair and tight.
Each piece is therefore designed, produced and sent with care, using artisanal, sustainable and responsible methods.
We give you the opportunity to reserve certain items from our collections or collaborations in advance when they are launched.
For example, for a product ordered at the start of sales of the summer 2024 collection, delivery is estimated at approximately one month. If your order includes multiple items, they will be shipped together based on the longest delivery time.
