Hey, hey, hey beach babes

Let’s talk tankinis. Yes, tankinis. The swimwear style that got a bad rep somewhere along the way — like it belonged only to the aunties at the poolside. But you know what? Aunties were onto something, and we’re reclaiming the tankini in full Valkyrie glory. When done right a tankini can be the most underrated power move in your swimwear drawer.

Enter Kim and Sammi Jo — our Mako Skin tankini queens who are here to serve your modest, muscle-hugging fit, AND sex appeal. You didn’t know you needed one until now. But trust us, once you try them, you won’t go back.
Kim and Sammi Jo are two sets of swimwear designed by House of Valkyrie, both sold as a 2 piece. They feature a fitted tankini top that doesn’t ride up mid-wave, bather bottoms with tummy power mech support, real inner bust support, and a durable, high-quality stretch fabric. Both sets are perfect for swimming, lounging, doing aqua Pilates or strolling along the sand.

Kim is a sleek minimalist with clean lines and classic coverage, while Sammi Jo is more playful with subtle curves, a swoop neckline, and a dash of sass. Clients have raved about their comfort and style, with some saying they didn’t need to adjust anything once.

Real Talk from Real Valkyries
💬 Rae from Pretoria: “I wore the Kim tankini to the beach and didn’t have to adjust anything once. Not one tug. That’s a miracle for me!”
💬 Lauren from Cape Town: “Sammi Jo is such a vibe. I felt hot and covered at the same time. Also, my boobs were not going anywhere. Love that for me.”
💬 Yolande from Port Elizabeth: “I’d given up on tankinis until I tried these. House of Valkyrie has changed the game.”

Made with intention in Cape Town, Mako Skin pieces are proudly made in our own workshop, ensuring livable wages, safe working conditions, fair supply chains, from fabrics we believe in. The tankini advantage lies in their built-in support, strong tummy mesh, and comfortable coverage, allowing users to swim like a boss, stretch out on a beach chair, play beach volleyball, and move freely without pulling and tugging every 10 seconds and worrying about belly exposure.

These tankinis are also excellent for travel, drying quickly, packing small, and not leaving you exposed when exploring resort pools or family beaches. Kim and Sammi Jo are smart, strong, and sexy swimwear that gives you the freedom of a two-piece without the stress of showing every inch of skin.
