OUR FOUNDER, EKNA HAWKSWORTH

WHO IS EKNA?

Ekna is a force.
A wild woman.
Creative. Visionary. Artist.

She's an innovator and a trend-setter. Taking an 'outside-of-the-box' approach to design lingerie that is simultaneously sexy, comfortable, and sustainable.

She pores her heart and soul into everything she does. You will feel it from the electricity of the photos on this website, to the thought and care in the packaging, and the softness and comfort of EKNA INTIMATES pieces.

When you buy from EKNA you are not just getting a beautiful piece of lingerie. You are getting a fragment of her love and energy transferred through her work.

You are experiencing her liberation and freedom.

IN HER OWN WORDS...

"The vision of the brand being all black represents the darkness that lives inside us.

It's a personal alchemy.
Of looking at yourself and finding that twisted beauty.
Taking that sexual abuse and twisting it into pleasure.

Your sexuality is a jewel.
The most sacred part of you that you only get to when you can be your fully expressed soul-self.

People are scared of that.
They dampen it.
I don’t believe that is the way to liberation.
I believe that when I go into the chaos and messiness is where I find my highest self and meet my pleasure.Β 

Nobody wants boring, clean bed sex.
It's wild. Tear the bed sheets apart. Pull her hair, pin me up against the world.

It’s dark and twisted, but beautiful to do that in softness.
To look deep into someone's eyes and see vulnerability.
Slowly starting to see it is your own vulnerability you are after.Β 

It’s all about growth deep down.
That’s why I created Ekna Intimates.
It is a portal into yourself.

I’m giving you a piece of me.

A piece of my embodiment and liberation is in every piece of my lingerie you wear."

"I create from femme wholeness, family, unity.

Being Mama, raising a little man means being the woman he will one day attract.
Raising him to treat her in that high value.
It's a huge responsibility.
An embodiment.

Wifey to him, Phil and I have always turned heads.
He's a powerful, grounded man that will catch your attention from across the room with his gaze.
This is important. Why?
Because it will get you on your knees for yourself first.

People say it's not important to have a man, maybe so...
But it is important to have a high-value, conscious man.
He inspires me to become the deepest version of myself.

This magnetism created from love is the secret of art.
When you can create it in your own home.
Sustain it. Play with it.

This is what I want you to feel in our products.
Even if you're not looking for what I have, you feel safety and freedom.

It's so rebellious to be a woman that can be Wife and Mother before boss lady.
It's so fun to explore the different facets of me.

I want to offer this power to you, the beauty of being multidimensional.
Of being able to move through having it all because... you can."
