Hapari Swimwear Mission and Vision

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

Hapari Swimwear LogoAt Hapari, we work hard to make sure you feel beautiful and confident in your swimsuit. There’s no need to feel insecure when you should be having fun, and we channel our love and respect of women into the swimwear we make—and that’s why women everywhere are spreading the word about our tankinis and suits. We believe a swimsuit should be comfortable, fashionable and flattering, which is why we’ve seen such success as a business.

Over the past few years, Hapari Swimwear has seen an unprecedented amount of growth, and through it all, we remain committed to our vision and mission. Last year, we expanded into the wholesale market, making our modest swimwear available in select boutiques, surf stores, spas, resorts and water parks in California, Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Utah and Canada. In addition to our online business and storefront location located in American Fork, Utah, our wholesale market helps us reach a wider audience of women who are dissatisfied with the shoddily made and unflattering swimsuits that are too frequently being made today.

With our expansion into the wholesale market, we’ve noticed a marked growth in sales numbers, and now our products are worn in 58 countries across the globe. We have experienced a 137% growth simply through online sales, and we are grateful for the word of mouth that has helped make that possible.

We stand behind our products, and we will continue to provide the quality swimwear that our customers have come to expect and appreciate. From our ‘Tummy Tuk’ bottoms to our tankinis that allow for personalization with the straps, we know what features enhance a woman’s shape. We listen to suggestions and we are constantly thinking of new ways that we can help everyday women feel more confident in their swimsuit.

A swimsuit should be just as functional as it is flattering, and we get that. We make sure that our quality materials, fun patterns and low prices give you the best swimsuit you can get. We have many great things in store for the upcoming year, so make sure you keep coming back to Hapari.com for the latest in styles and features.

How to take care of a Hapari Swimsuit

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Wear Only after a Shower
The main issue in using colored swimsuits is that their color goes dull and fades away over time. To reduce the fading of color, dip the swimsuit in water with a combination of two teaspoons of white vinegar. This is especially applicable to new, colored swimwear. Taking a shower before jumping into the pool will surely maintain the quality of the suit. Doing so will remove any conditioners and lotions that are on the body, since the chemicals from these may degrade the bathing suit fabric.

No Rough Contact
Remember that swimsuits are fine garments, so you should avoid their contact with any kind of rough surface. Contact with rough surfaces may increase the wear and tear of the fabric. Wearers may unknowingly get in contact with pool walls, swimming ropes, cement structures around the pool; which should be avoided. For example, if you want to sit on a pool bench or deck, putting a towel underneath will avoid the suit coming in contact with rough surfaces.

Rinse and Wash the Correct Way
Swimsuit care is not only limited to before and during use, but also after your swimming sessions. An immediate wash with clean or lukewarm water after the swim is important. You will find a wide range of swimsuit cleaning solutions in stores which come at just about $10. These products are useful in taking off all chlorine, salt, and other chemicals from the suit. Simply rinse with hands and do not put it in the washing machine. Even if the washing machine is set on ‘soft’ settings, it might be too harsh on the swimsuit material, resulting in pilling. You can also use a mild soap or detergent for the washing purpose. When it comes to washing polyester or spandex clothing, you should never use bleach.

Dry Naturally
Air dry it, and that too in a place away from direct sun exposure. Just like normal clothes, sustained exposure to direct sunlight makes the clothes lose their color. Also, see to it that you don’t squeeze the suit too much while drying. Squeezing too much may ruin the shape of the costume. Using a dryer is not a good idea, since the heat generated may damage the fabric. Keep the wet suit for drying for about 24 hours, which will help the suit to return back to its original fit. Ironing of the swim wear is a ‘no no’, as the elasticity of the fabric may be lost, affecting the suit’s fitting.

Remember that using dirty swimwear may lead to the formation of bacteria in the fabric, eventually leading to a skin infection. Bacteria formation may even occur if you store a wet, folded suit for long. Following these swimsuit care instructions would certainly help you maintain the color, elasticity and comfort of your swimsuit for several summers!

Summer is Upon Us – Where Will You Spend It?

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

Let’s face it – we spend most of our winters planning for our summers. While there are plenty of things to do in the winter, it’s easy to let the cold, overcast conditions start to weigh us down. We begin looking forward to the bright, warm summer days pretty early, and some of us even start secretly planning for a vacation that is still months away.

Now, though, the full summer is just weeks away. Do you know where you are going to go? Do you know where you can have some fun in the sun and still stay within your budget? You’ve been thinking about this trip for a while now – don’t let yourself get so busy that you miss out on your chance to get away and really enjoy the warm weather.

Where do you want to go now that the weather is on your side? Do you want to spend it in a luxury hotel on an exotic beach, or are you more interested in quiet, secluded evenings in a quaint (and affordable) beach house? There are a lot of options out there, and you might consider:

Cancun, Mexico – Cancun has some of the most famous beach resorts in the world. The Hotel District is filled with large 4 or 5-star hotels that offer the kind of luxury amenities that serious vacationers expect. You can spend your days on the beach, playing in the startlingly blue waters and then enjoy the nightlife back in town. From swimming with dolphins to touring Mayan ruins, there are lots of possibilities here.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – With over 60 miles of beach coastline, there’s plenty of room for you and your family to enjoy your summer vacation. There are amusement parks and water parks nearby, and a range of live entertainment and dining options back in town, so when you are ready to relax after a day on the beach, you’ll have plenty of choices.

Coronado Beach, San Diego – The Travel Channel recently rated Coronado Beach as one of the top 10 beaches in the United States, and for good reason. The setting is amazing, and there are lifeguards patrolling the length of the beach, so it is safe for the entire family whether you enjoy swimming, snorkeling, fishing, sunbathing, and even surfing. When you’re ready to leave the beach, you can find everything from skate parks to fine dining in the great Coronado community.

Anna Maria Island, Florida – If you prefer a quiet, relaxing vacation away from the huge hotels and chain restaurants, then Anna Maria Island may be the place for you. When you choose this kind of vacation you can avoid the huge crowds and costs of the known vacation hotspots and enjoy the water activities, great eating establishments, and an island that is 60% beach.

Whether you are looking for the perfect place to show off your new swimwear or a quiet destination away from the chaos of the city, these are just a few of the places that can provide incredible vacation opportunities. No matter what kind of getaway you enjoy, if you research all your options, you can make the most of your time away from the office.
