Kawakawa & Co is a New Zealand-born swimwear brand inspired by nature, connection, and confidence. Rooted in the essence of Aotearoa, our name comes from the kawakawa plant — a native leaf celebrated for its healing and protective properties.
Just as kawakawa restores balance and strength, our designs are created to make women feel empowered, comfortable, and beautifully themselves. Each piece blends timeless coastal style with mindful craftsmanship, made for women who move with the rhythm of the ocean and live boldly under the sun.
Sustainably made. Soulfully designed. Kawakawa & Co — where natural beauty meets modern confidence.
Auckland Beauties, get ready — because two Brazilian powerhouses just joined forces.
We’re elevating the local beauty landscape with a bold partnership between Bonita Brazilian Beauty, Auckland’s premier destination for high-end waxing and flawless spray tanning, and our curated bikini brand Kawakawa & Co, designed to bring authentic Brazilian summer energy to New Zealand.
At Bonita, Founder & Director Juliane — a São Paulo native with more than 15 years of industry expertise — leads a studio known for precision, comfort, and results that speak for themselves. From advanced waxing techniques that minimise irritation to perfectly blended spray tans that deliver that signature Brazilian glow, Bonita sets the standard for premium beauty care in the city.
And now, you can experience that same standard of excellence through our exclusive bikini collection, showcased inside Bonita’s space. Each piece in our line is crafted to empower, flatter, and celebrate every body — delivering that vibrant, confident, unapologetically bold Brazilian spirit you’ve been craving.
This collaboration creates a full-circle experience:
Smooth skin. Natural glow. A bikini that fits like a second skin.
All in one place — all infused with the essence of Brazilian beauty.
Step into Bonita. Discover your new favourite bikini. Walk out unstoppable.
Auckland has never seen a duo like this.
