The idea of Taika's was created from the love of our children, Taiga and Aika, and inspired by their excitement for water activities. 

​

In the Summer of 2020, our then 3-year old son, Taiga, took up swimming lessons and fell in love with the water. As he went to the pool more and used up his swimming wardrobe, we realized there was a need for locally designed, quality, swimwear for children.

 

As a co-founder of an established sportswear company, RUNGUAM, we slowly started the process of designing and sourcing production to create a new clothing brand. We wanted to create a family-friendly brand that fellow parents could trust.

​

A year later we welcomed our daughter, Aika, into the world and combined their names to create our company, Taika's. Finally, in June 2022, we launched our first set of products to share with the world.
