akoia swim kusuma dress in sky. retails $280.

100% cotton. hand made in indonesia. quoted from the garment's own label. the coconut-shell tag is stamped akoia bali on one face and the size on the other.

akoia make crochet swim and apparel by hand, by women artisans in bali, and they are plastic-free across sourcing, production and packaging. the brand say a single hand-crocheted piece can take up to five days to complete.

the kusuma is worked in one continuous openwork lace - no panels, no waist seam, a field of small crocheted flowers running unbroken from the neckline to the hem, where it opens out into a deep scalloped border. that border is a wider, looser stitch than the body, and it is what makes the hem flare instead of hang.

halter with crocheted ties at the neck. deep plunging v. open back. straight through the body, unlined throughout.

it is a cover-up in the proper sense - cut to go over a bikini, and open enough that you will want one.

⚠ care, from the garment's own label: hand wash in cool water. the brand add: no harsh chemicals, no long soaking, reshape and dry flat in the shade, and store it folded rather than hung — a wet crochet dress on a hanger will stretch itself into a different garment.

⚠ sizing: the brand note that handmade pieces vary slightly in size. go by the measurements, not the letter on the tag.

akoia are stocked at fwrd, free people, ssense and moda operandi.
