The Founders' Vision:

Sporty Elegance, Tailored for the Waves

We are two entrepreneurs bound by friendship, curation, and an unconditional love for the active coastal lifestyle.

Dkoko was born out of our own true need to find comfortable surf bikinis that would stay on during heavy swells without ever compromising our femininity. Today, our passion has evolved into creating premium, versatile swimwear that transitions flawlessly from a morning surf session or a dynamic pilates class to an evening out with friends.

We share a weakness for premium materials—especially luxurious texturized jacquards and buttery-soft solids that feel like a second skin on your body. Our mission is to ensure every piece fits perfectly, empowering you to feel effortlessly sporty, elegant, and beautiful inside and outside the water.

Insider Notes

My Refuge: An open house tucked deep inside the wild tropical jungle canopy of Pavones, Costa Rica.

Family: Sharing this coastal life alongside my husband and our wild 8-year-old boy who never stops.

The Lineup: The ultimate frother of our team: I surf every single day, testing our signature fits in real swells.

Grounding: To unwind, I love walking on completely deserted beaches and showering in a hidden jungle waterfall near our home.

Daily Rituals: I find joy cooking healthy meals for my family, hand-blending an authentic Ayurvedic spiced chai every afternoon, and growing organic herbs and flowers in my garden.
