I’ve been wearing swimwear and activewear from Makarawear for a long time, and I’ve seen the brand evolve over the years. The designs are unique, and the pieces are comfortable enough to wear daily.... See more

I have maybe 10 of their swimsuits, they are invincible in terms of quality. But tbh I choose them for the versatility & style, I wear them in water, for yoga, everyday gym & even style them up for ni... See more

I bought 1 in Canggu and i really regret it! In the beginning i really likes the design but once i wear it in my pool the colour is slightly changing! I dont recommend this bikini too expensive for that kind of quality!

Hi Masha,

Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We would like to kindly confirm that our cases are not chlorine proof, just UV protection. This means that our swimwear protects from sun, but can still get damaged by high chlorine intake or if it's been left long time on sun after not washed with the water.
Therefore, we recommend rinse with fresh water swimwear after each dip pool to prevent longer life for product. However, we want to look into this! Our team has sent you a message regarding your order details.

Hoping to hear back from you soon!

Best regards,
MAKARA WEAR Team

I bought the swimmwear in the shop for my gf, i saw good reviews and the design was beautiful. But that is all shine, in fact the quality is far from sustainable, my gf used it once for surfing and it was broken after one time. Its so expensive but as it claims to be so environment friendly I thought its good to support this brand but at the end it did not even comewith an eco tag. It also smelled so much like chemical.
I would not recommend buying from makara, it is the worst most expensive swimmwesr I bought ever.

One of my favourite sustainable labels

One of my favourite sustainable labels!
Always great service and the fit is absolutely perfect for me even though I’m quite short and a little curvy :)

If you order from the US

I do not recommend. If you order from the US, do not order unless you know you are going to keep it. I ordered a one piece swimsuit and decided to return because it did not have a built in bra. It costed me 28 dollars to send it back. They asked me to put $10 value on the custom form. Yet the custom fee charge was $20, which was deducted from the refund amount. Custom fee charge is nowhere to be found on the website. Had I known this, I would not have ordered it. Customer service sucks. They wrote, custom fee would have been 100 if i did not put $10 on the form.

Poor customer care, poor quality of products, no possibility of returns

I ordered a one-piece swimsuit from Makara wear. After the first wear, the threads were sticking out of it, and when I asked Makara for a refund, I did not succeed. I wrote them an email but no one answered me for a long time. Subsequently, I sent a message about the email via Instagram, after which I was told that after three months they did not accept complaints. When I sent them a screenshot of the email I wrote them a month after the purchase, they told me that they did not accept complaints even after two months. They seem to be sucking their conditions out of their thumb.
