Our Mission

We Believe Every Woman Deserves Swimwear That Truly Fits

Malaika Intimates was founded after one too many beach trips ruined by ill-fitting swimwear. As a full-bust woman living in Nairobi, our founder Amara found it almost impossible to find swimwear that offered real support, real style, and real confidence.

So she built it herself. As the official Curvy Kate reseller in Kenya, Malaika Intimates brings world-class, bra-sized swimwear to Kenyan women — with local support, fast delivery, and a team that genuinely understands your body.

We serve cups D through K. We speak your language. We ship to your door.

The story behind Malaika Intimates

Founder's Note

The Story Behind the Brand

In 2022, Amara Kariuki was preparing for a Diani beach holiday when she spent three weekends scouring Nairobi malls for a swimsuit that fit. She is a 36F. She found nothing. Not one piece that offered real underwire support, proper cup sizing, or the kind of style she deserved.

Frustrated but determined, she discovered Curvy Kate — a UK brand that had been solving exactly this problem for over a decade. She ordered. It fit. She cried.

Six months later, she was Kenya's official Curvy Kate reseller. Today Malaika Intimates serves hundreds of women across the country who've had the same experience: relief, joy, and the confidence that comes from finally wearing something made for your body.
