This Black-Owned Brand Makes The Perfect Unconventional Swimsuit

Before my recent vacation to Cartagena, Colombia, I searched high and low for a bathing suit that was different from anything I’d ever worn.

I was tired of the typical triangle bikini, and I’m not a huge fan of one-pieces. Enter Ashanti Swimwear’s Akua suit.

I’d come across the Black, family-owned, London-based brand on Instagram; their colorful, African-inspired prints stood out in the crowded swimwear market.


The Akua suit offered the perfect break from conventional styles, with its off-the-shoulder top and cutout, high-waist bottom.
