Our Story

Born from island days.

At nineteen, Emily Neal left the Australian coast for Hawai‘i. What began as a life shaped by the ocean became a lasting source of inspiration, from tropical flowers and island colour to the effortless way women lived in and around the water.

After years spent in the waves, Emily developed a love for original prints and a desire to create swimwear that felt as beautiful as it was wearable. In 2019, that vision became Lokahi.

Today, Lokahi continues to evolve between two coastlines, Australia and Hawai‘i, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of both. Each collection explores the colours, textures and organic forms found in tropical landscapes, translated into distinctive original prints and thoughtfully considered silhouettes.

Our swimwear is designed for women who surf, swim, move and live by the water. Pieces that balance femininity with functionality, expressive colour with effortless wearability, and a sense of beauty that feels entirely natural.

At the heart of Lokahi is a deep love for the ocean, tropical flora, the beauty of colour and the freedom that comes with being in the water.
