Batoko is a small independent swimwear brand based on the North West coast of England. We create quality swimsuits that are fun, flattering and super comfy. They're also rubbish. Literally.
Batoko began on our local coastline, where time spent outdoors - especially near the water - became a big part of daily life. That connection still runs through everything we make. Many of our prints are inspired by wildlife and the natural world, interpreted in a way that feels playful, bold and a little bit unexpected. Each print is created with care, with a focus on colour, balance and individuality. We don’t follow trends or produce large collections - just a growing body of designs that feel like Batoko.
The Batoko Tribe
Batoko has grown through the people who wear it. Our community is made up of swimmers, sea-lovers, travellers and everyday adventurers - people who find joy in being outside, in the water, and in the moment.
