The Soul Behind the Brand: A Note from Melanie, Our Founder

Hi, I’m Melanie! 🌴

My love for the sun runs deep, growing up between the turquoise waters of the French Caribbean and the chic coasts of the Mediterranean. But as much as I loved the beach, I didn't always love shopping for it.

Standing at 1m50 and proud of my curves, I spent years looking for swimwear that made me feel confident, not exposed. I constantly searched for ways to cover up while still feeling feminine, sexy, and elevated, but I could never find a brand that offered both.

That personal journey is the heartbeat of Karunina.

I designed these sets because I believe you shouldn't have to choose between feeling comfortable and looking luxurious.

The matching skirt isn’t just an accessory, it’s the confidence boost I always searched for. It allows you to move from the water to the lounge with elegance and ease.

Karunina is my love letter to every woman who wants to celebrate her body with style. Whether you are petite like me or tall, this collection is designed to make you feel undeniably beautiful.

  • The "Golden Hour" Glow

    We believe looking glamorous shouldn't mean sacrificing comfort. That’s why we selected a custom gold lurex that offers a high-end shimmer without the itch. Fully lined with a buttery-soft interior, our swimwear is designed to hug your curves and feel like a second skin from sunrise to sunset.

  • The Signature Matching Skirt

    We believe resort wear should be effortless. Our matching skirt is the signature solution to the 'cover-up' dilemma, transforming your bikini into a polished look in seconds. It provides the perfect balance of coverage and style, ensuring you feel completely dressed and confident from the sunbed to the restaurant.

  • Island Soul, Dubai Ambition

    Karunina exists where two worlds collide: the relaxed 'joie de vivre' of the French Caribbean and the high-octane glamour of Dubai. We design for the global citizen who seeks sunshine and sophistication. Each piece is crafted to make you feel radiant and elevated, whether you are in St. Barths or on the Palm.
