Description
ŪNIKA was created with a clear vision in mind: to provide body-specific swimwear for all women - regardless of age, shape, or size. We aim to empower every woman in recognizing and appreciating her own individuality – the end goal is to make you feel confident in a swimsuit.

We pride ourselves in making swimwear for all shapes and sizes at ŪNIKA. All pieces in our online shop are available in a wide range of sizes and are as adjustable friendly as possible, but our custom swimwear option offers a fit that is truly made for your body. One-piece, two-piece, and tankinis are all options - with bra sizes ranging from AAA-J cup. After booking an appointment here you’ll visit us in-store, get fitted, and will be able to see and try on over 200+ style options. Once the style is selected and your own personal changes and alterations have been made, fabric selection is the final step. We have over 150+ print and solid fabrics to choose from!

We also cart off the rack options that can be purchased in store. We also cut and sew everything we sell is handmade in our studio.
