By only producing small batches and knowing that they aren’t creating excess or something our customers don’t want, Hakuna Wear is able to keep up with their customer’s wants and needs. This approach to innovative swimwear design led Hakuna Wear to be chosen to be a part of Title Nine’s Movers and Makers Pitchfest last year.

Jessica describes it as ‘a huge honor and milestone to be included in their cohort of badass women’. Hakuna was chosen as Runners up. You can watch Hakuna’s pitch here.
