Classic capsule collection swimsuit
Each scale is hand-sewn, one by one.
The Kaia top is much more than a bikini: it is a designer piece. Each scale is hand-sewn, one by one, to create a unique interplay of relief and light. Hours of work go into making every piece—making Kaia a true artisanal item, exclusively imagined and designed by BHAVA.
Its adjustable triangle naturally contours the silhouette, while the scales catch the light with your every movement, for a finish that is impossible to replicate industrially. Because it is entirely handmade, Kaia is a delicate piece to be worn with care: this is precisely what gives it its character and exclusivity.
Care instructions: Due to its artisanal construction, we recommend handling Kaia with care to preserve the beauty of its details. A care kit (spare scales and matching thread) is available upon request.
The model is wearing a size XS top.

Each product page includes a detailed size guide (conversions for France, USA, Australia). Rely on your usual measurements; if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. Some very low-cut styles, such as the Capsule top, are intentionally small-fitting.
Rinse in clear, cold water after every swim, wash exclusively by hand in cold water, then dry flat in the shade. Avoid the washing machine, wringing, the tumble dryer, as well as prolonged contact with sunscreen and rough surfaces. This will ensure your pieces retain their vibrancy and elasticity.
Each design is imagined and sketched in France, then crafted with authentic artisanal expertise. We select premium materials certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, guaranteed to be free of substances harmful to the skin.
