Patterns & Visual Universe
The Kaya Lumina swim shorts feature a signature Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï print, combining solar symbols and geometric shapes inspired by traditional African art.
The stylized faces, surrounded by solar circles, evoke the warmth, strength and light of ancestral cultures, while the intertwined lines and diamonds recall artisanal weaving and sacred geometry.
- Solar palette : golden yellow, earth red and deep black, reflecting African landscapes and tropical sunsets.
- Visual rhythm : harmonious repetition of patterns, creating a balance between graphic power and visual fluidity.
- Strong cultural identity : each element of the print is designed as a link between heritage and modernity, for a strong style on the beach as well as in the city.
- An artistic piece : more than a jersey, a textile canvas where each pattern tells a story, a symbol of elegance and belonging.
Style Tips
The Kaya Lumina is designed to shine in the sun and stand out with its cultural elegance. Versatile and sophisticated, it lends itself equally to a day at the beach, a seaside stroll, or a chic après-beach getaway.
- Seaside look : Pair it with a slightly open white linen shirt, leather espadrilles or sandals, and a wide-brimmed straw hat for a refined look.
- Resort style : wear it with a fitted polo shirt or a quality plain t-shirt, complemented by statement-making sunglasses.
- Urban vibe : wear it with an oversized t-shirt and white sneakers for a contemporary twist in the city.
- Accessories : a bracelet made from natural pearls or fine wood will add a subtle, artisanal touch.
- Color harmony : opt for neutral or golden shades to highlight the solar print and its warm tones.

Maintenance & Longevity
To maintain the beauty and performance of your Kaya Lumina swim shorts, we recommend following these simple tips:
- Rinse with clean water after each use at sea or in a swimming pool to remove salt and chlorine.
- Gentle machine wash at 30°C, with similar colors.
- Avoid fabric softener to preserve the elasticity and breathability of the fabric.
- Air dry in the shade, avoid tumble drying to prolong the life of the fibers.
- Do not iron directly on the print to maintain the brightness of the colors.
