This African print string bikini by ASAKE-OGE features a bold mosaic wave geometric print in primary red, royal blue, and golden ochre, crafted from a recycled polyester and spandex blend with UPF 50+ sun protection, fully adjustable string ties, and removable bra padding, available in sizes 2XS to 6XL at $82.50.

About the Santi Wave

The Santi Wave brings African print design into resort and performance swimwear, a category where bold Ankara inspired pattern is rarely seen. The interlocking mosaic wave print is engineered to be the centerpiece of any beach or poolside wardrobe, while the construction delivers genuine technical performance. Made from recycled, post consumer polyester and spandex, the fabric offers a silky, second skin feel that stretches and snaps back into shape, preventing the sagging common in standard swimwear. UPF 50+ is built into the knit itself, blocking 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays for safe, extended wear in high exposure environments. The fibers are also treated to resist chlorine and salt, protecting the vibrant primary colors through repeated pool and ocean use.

Adjustable, Inclusive Fit

The string tie design at the neck, back, and hips allows for a fully customizable fit across body types, from classic halter and triangle styles to wrap around midriff configurations. Removable padding lets you personalize support and silhouette, and double layered, high quality lining ensures the fabric stays non see through even when fully stretched. Available in sizes 2XS through 6XL.

How to Style This African Print Bikini

For the active traveler, secure the top with a reinforced cross back tie for steady support during beach volleyball or paddleboarding. The high recovery stretch keeps everything in place during water sports.

For resort wear, pair the Santi Wave with a sheer white silk sarong or an oversized linen button down for a polished beach look that transitions easily from sand to lunch.

For an evening look, style the bikini top as a bold layering piece under a structured blazer with high waisted wide leg trousers, letting the geometric print add an artisanal edge to a city evening outfit. Complete the resort wardrobe with the ASAKE-OGE African print kaftan collection for easy coverage between swims.
