Our Story

Hey, I’m Diandra...

I’m the founder of AFATO, a brand dedicated to sustainable surfwear. Together with my friend Melina, I created AFATO, inspired by our shared passion for surfing and fashion. During our travels and surf adventures, we noticed a lack of stylish, eco-friendly surfwear for women—clothing that’s not only comfortable and fashionable but also able to withstand the challenges of the waves.

With this vision in mind, we set out to find the perfect solution. After extensive research, designing, and a long search for the right suppliers, we found the ideal partner in Bali who could bring our vision of functional and sustainable surfwear to life. AFATO represents styles that stay in place and give you the confidence to fully focus on the waves.

Melina has since embarked on new paths, and I now lead AFATO on my own—with the same passion that drove us back then.

The name AFATO is inspired by a quote that resonated with us:
"AS FREE AS THE OCEAN"

With AFATO, we want to offer you that very feeling of freedom. Our surfwear is designed to provide optimal support with every wave, without compromising on comfort or style. We use sustainable materials that fit your body perfectly while being kind to the environment.

AFATO is more than just fashion—it’s a lifestyle. Our designs blend functionality with style, making them stand out both on the surfboard and on land. No matter what waves you’re riding, AFATO gives you the confidence that everything stays in place.

"WE ARE IN THE OCEAN, WE ARE INSPIRED BY THE OCEAN, WE ARE AS FREE AS THE OCEAN."
