Introducing the Pulse Crochet Bikini from Arun Wear's Summer 2026 Collection
By Kiki Fahrina
There are bikinis you buy on impulse and forget about by March. And then there are the ones that end up at the top of the pile every single time you pack, the ones that photograph well without trying, that feel just as good at the end of a long beach day as they did at the beginning. The Pulse Crochet Bikinis are the second kind.
This is not a piece that needs to announce itself. The craftsmanship does that quietly. Each set is made by hand in Bali, worked stitch by stitch by the same local artisans who we have worked with since the beginning of Arun. You feel that when you hold it.
There is a weight and warmth to it that mass-produced swimwear simply cannot replicate.
The Look
The Pulse Crochet Bikinis arrive in three colours: melon, brown, and clay. Each one lands differently depending on your skin tone and how you want to feel. Melon is warm and attention-worthy without being loud. Brown sits against tanned skin in a way that feels almost impossibly good. Clay is quieter, earthier, the choice for someone who understands that the most considered thing in a room is rarely the color.
The stripe pattern running across both pieces has a handmade quality that sets it apart from anything you will find on a rack. It moves slightly differently in the light, shifts between tones as the day progresses. That is the nature of crochet, and it is part of what makes wearing it feel like wearing something that actually has a story behind it.
The top is a clean triangle shape. The bottom is cut minimally. Together, they are the kind of set that works as Bali swimwear in the truest sense of the phrase. Not a costume, not a trend piece. A set that belongs exactly where you are.
How It Feels to Wear It
The Pulse Crochet Bikinis are fully lined with a stretchy swimwear fabric. You can swim in it or lie in the sun for hours, and it holds. Nothing shifts. The adjustable tie straps at the neck and back mean you can get the fit exactly right, whether you are petite or somewhere in the middle, and that adjustment stays exactly where you put it.
The bottom is cut for tanning. Minimal coverage by design, with tie sides that sit flat and leave the cleanest possible lines on your skin. It is the kind of detail that you only notice when you are getting dressed after a long afternoon, and everything looks exactly as it should.
And because it is made in small batches by hand, you are not buying something that fifty thousand other people are also wearing this season.
Made by Hand in Bali, as Everything at Arun Is
The Pulse Crochet Bikinis are handmade bikini Bali in the most literal sense. It takes time to make. Each piece is worked by a local artisan who knows this craft at a level that cannot be rushed or replicated by a machine. The result is a textile that has texture, personality, and a quiet kind of beauty that improves each time you wear it.
At Arun Wear, this is not a selling point we add to the label after the fact. It is the reason the brand exists. We believe that knowing where something comes from, and knowing it was made well by someone who cared about making it well, changes how you feel when you put it on.
How to Wear the Pulse Crochet Bikinis
Wear the full set for mornings at the beach when you want to look like you thought about it, without it looking like you tried. Throw the Tie Wrapped Crochet over the bottom or the top for lunch somewhere shaded. By the time the afternoon light turns gold and everyone starts moving toward the water again, you will not have changed once.
The bottom also works as a standalone piece with other tops in the Arun collection, and the crochet top pairs back to simple, solid swimwear for a more editorial take. It is a set with range, and that is exactly what good Bali swimwear should offer you.
