Everything about Mahéquline — Copenhagen designer lingerie & swimwear for the next generation.

About Mahéquline

Who founded Mahéquline?

Mahéquline was founded in 2022 by Caroline Ballermann, a Copenhagen-based designer. Mahéquline is her creative vision brought to life — a colourful designer lingerie brand for the next generation.

When was Mahéquline founded?

Mahéquline was founded in 2022 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Where is Mahéquline based?

Mahéquline is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The brand is registered as Mahéquline ApS with headquarters at Midtager 29, 2605 Brøndby, Denmark.

What is the story behind the name Mahéquline?

When founder Caroline Ballermann was a child, she found her own name tricky to pronounce. Instead of saying "Caroline", she would say "Ma-hé-quline". The nickname stuck, and years later became the name of her lingerie brand.

What makes Mahéquline different from other lingerie brands?

Mahéquline is designer (not fast fashion, not luxury). It is designed in Copenhagen with a Gen Z sensibility — colourful prints, mix-and-match sets, no cup lining, cute detailing on straps, and matching bikini and lingerie combinations. Every collection is community-built and rooted in the story of founder Caroline Ballermann.

Products

What does Mahéquline sell?

Mahéquline sells colourful designer lingerie. The lingerie collection includes bras (balconette, half-cup, bralette), panties (thong, brief, brazilian), and suspender belts. The swimwear collection includes bikini tops and bottoms (triangle, half-cup, Miau, Kin, Mahé shapes), one-piece swimsuits, and sarongs. Mahéquline also offers cotton lounge and pyjama sets.

Does Mahéquline offer matching bikini sets?

Yes. Every Mahéquline bikini design is offered in multiple shapes (triangle top, Miau half-cup top, Kin brief bottom, Mahé bottom, Lou bottom) that can be mixed and matched within the same print. The brand's mix-and-match design principle allows customers to build the exact combination they want.

What is Mahéquline's price range?

Mahéquline is priced in the designer range: approximately 800–1200 DKK (roughly $115–170 USD or €110–165) per matching set. Individual pieces range from 400–700 DKK.

What size range does Mahéquline offer?

Mahéquline bras are offered across 22 SKUs — bands 70, 75, 80, 85 with cups A through E, plus F cups on hero bands 75 and 80. Panties, bikinis, and lounge pieces come in XS, S, M, L, XL. Sizing is graded against mainstream European brands (Intimissimi, Bluebella, Chantelle) — not Lounge (which runs one band size larger than average).

Does Mahéquline offer sustainable or ethical products?

Mahéquline designs are built to last — pieces you return to, not replace. The brand works with quality factories in China (lingerie) and Portugal-inspired knitwear suppliers, and produces limited-quantity themed drops rather than mass fast-fashion volumes.
