Lila is the quiet one — a soft purple that looks expensive in daylight and cools down a strong tan instead of competing with it. It is the colour to choose when black feels too severe and bright feels like too much.
Kate Kingdom makes two pieces in lila: one bikini and one one-piece, both designed near Zurich and produced in limited editions rather than mass-manufactured.
One lila bikini and one lila swimsuit
Bikini or one-piece?
The Talasa is the bikini: a high-cut triangle string top with a 90s feel, cheeky at the back, made with double fabric so it holds its shape. The Classic is the one-piece: Baywatch-inspired, with a small neckline at the back and thicker straps for better support across the bust. Same colour family, two very different silhouettes.
Lila, purple or lilac swimwear?
People search for this colour in different ways — a lila bikini, a purple swimsuit, a lilac bathing suit or simply purple swimwear. Both pieces on this page sit in that same soft-purple family.
Fabric, sizes and care
The fabrics are light, soft to the touch and stretch with the body rather than against it. They dry quickly and hold their shape after salt water and sun. Available in sizes S to L. Rinse in cold water after swimming and dry flat, out of direct sunlight.
