Cape Verde, by way of Paris

K-VALA is the swimwear line from Urivaldo Lopes — the Mindelo-born, Paris-based photographer whose work has shaped how the world sees Cape Verdean beauty for over a decade.

This is his lens, made wearable. Cuts shaped by the women he photographs. Colors pulled from the light he shoots in. Pieces designed for the same unhurried confidence the islands are known for.

K-VALA was created for the bold, the free, and the unapologetically confident.

Why K-vala

  • An editorial eye

    Designed by a working fashion photographer — every silhouette tested against a camera, not just a fitting room.

  • Cape Verdean energy, refined in Paris

    Bold cuts. Ocean palettes. A point of view you won't find on a hanger anywhere else.

  • Built for water, not just photos

    Polyester & Spandex blend – soft, stretchable and quick-drying fabric.

  • For the unapologetically you

    Confident shapes. No shrinking. No apologies.
