Kikidoll was started just under three years ago by Honolulu-born Kiki Farmer, formerly a lawyer in London, where she has lived for most of her adult life, interspersed with several years spent in Paris and Munich.
It was a dream of hers to launch a swimwear line referencing her Hawaiian family history and her many paintings and designs that evoke Pacific and oceanic themes. Registering her domain back in 2000, it took nearly a decade to make the leap into manufacturing.
