From the MADAMME BK atelier in Paris 75008, the evolution of a swimsuit begins.
Since 2011, an exciting year-long process culminates in the delivery of a high-end, hand-finished modest swimsuit.
Made exclusively in France at a family-owned factory in the charming region of Normandy, using only the finest Italian lightweight, quick-dry, UV-protective swim fabrics from Lake Como - in Northern Italy’s Lombardy region.
MADAMME BK believes in paying fair wages to those dedicated to making our products, preserving the beauty of the Earth, and keeping your skin safe by using only premium fabrics. We constantly work to ensure that all of our products are made ethically and responsibly.
From Drawing to Reality
With eleven new launches per year, the prêt-à-porter constitutes the basis of every design at MADAMME BK , where the brand’s DNA and unique style are merged with the latest trends to create genuine and outstanding pieces.
At MADAMME BK, design are our form of expression and every collection is the canvas in which this whole creative universe is built on.
The multiple scenarios and elements that define every woman are the matter of our inspiration: art, architecture, cities, nature, a specific mood, an attitude.
Every modest swimwear manifests the creation of a new world for today’s women: brave, genuine and sophisticated.
The result: hand-finished contemporary modest swimwear with the highest quality materials.
Our productions are made exclusively in France and we use only the finest Italian lightweight, quick-dry, UV-protective swim fabrics available in the market.
Exploring the know-how of French sewing, "le savoir-faire français", all the details from our burkinis are handmade.
The manufacturing of our pieces combines an attentive handcraft expertise with the latest technology, which is applied in different stages until reaching the final swimsuit piece.
In order to create the prettiest swimsuit designs, our unique paper patterns turns into digital patterns due to laser cutting our swim fabric for extremely accurate cuts.
Ethical Manufacturing
MADAMME BK believes in improving the lives of the people who work to make our swimsuits.
This is why our seamstresses are paid higher than minimum wages.
Approximately 90% of the women employed by our factory partner are the heads of their households and are provided with social security and health benefits to help improve their standards of living.
Fair compensation is the foundation to upward mobility and we embrace that truth when manufacturing our swimsuits.
Qality Control
Once all the pieces of the production are finished, the quality department performs an exhaustive piece by piece visual and tactile control, as well as a use test with a sample of each production.
Each burkini is then hand-pressed, ironed and individually special wrapped before being sent to our warehouse in the Netherlands and finally shipped to you!
Planet-Focused
Our free-trade fabrics are colored with environmentally-friendly dyes that help avoid water waste and pollution.
We also work to minimize our corporate carbon footprint in order to maximize our positive impact on the world.
