Hidden Gems: Meet Kailia Lopez of Kailia’s Kinis

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kailia Lopez

Hi Kailia, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started by simply posting reaction videos during Covid. I had a decent amount of followers but then deleted the app for about two years until December of 2023 when I started consistently posting again. I then decided to start posting filter videos because I liked using them and playing the games. I did not think much of it until I started getting views and that’s how I got to where I am today. My videos started getting traction because people thought I was rage baiting when it came to me posting filter videos when I was playing a game. I would describe rage baiting as faking something to get attention and views. What people don’t realize is that I don’t do multiple takes or delete footage if I mess up. I try to be my most authentic self and I’m figuring out the game in real time. So I clearly take a while to process things as you can see in the videos, so that’s where people think that I fake my videos and try to fake being stupid. In reality, I’m just somebody who takes a little longer to understand things. My most popular video is currently at almost 92 million views. That’s absolutely insane to me. I like to post pictures i actually like of myself and think are funny. My Instagram really shows a true representation of who Kailia is which is all over the place.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
For me at least, Tiktok’s been an adventure because I’ve been able to be myself and interact with people all over the place. There’s definitely struggles when putting yourself out on the Internet. Like I said before, people think I fake my videos or fake some sort of persona when in reality I’m just being myself. I pride myself on being who I am no matter what others think. People can think I’m slow or call me names about my intellectuality but at the end of the day who really cares. It’s the Internet and people are going to say what they want hiding behind a phone. I can sleep at night knowing that I’m just being myself.

As you know, we’re big fans of Kailia’s Kinis. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I recently decided to start a bikini line because I have been so fed up with the bikinis that are currently on the market today. It is called Kailia’s Kinis. They are overpriced, horrible quality, and don’t even get me started on the seams. Brands love to mass produce these very poor quality bikinis and price them for over $100 for a top and bottom. What sets me apart from other brands is that all of my bikinis are inspired by my favorite genre of music 70s mellow classic rock. I’m so beyond proud of the community I’ve built and the girls I’ve met these past couple of weeks. In the first three days of me consistently posting, I gained over 20,000 followers. I love that we’re all connected through the music we love and how passionate we are about bikinis! I also think what makes my brand unique is that there is no targeted audience for this brand. I want women of all ages to be able to put on my bikinis and think of the songs we love and feel confident. My mission and goals are to make inclusive, seamless, and double-lined bikinis that are not only unique but accessible for everybody to wear a period every single top will have adjustable straps in the option to have pads if you want them. I can not wait to see where this goes.

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up I was always that kid getting trouble in different classes for not paying attention. I had horrible adhd and was put on many different medications to try and find something that worked for me. From second grade to being a senior in highschool, I was allowed to have extra time on assignments and tests because of my learning disability. I had all sorts of issues when it came to school . I was super loud, extroverted, and probably pretty annoying. I loved my Disney princesses and Disney Channel. I would freak out if my food was touching and I would freak out even more if somebody near me was chewing with their mouth open. I just like to say I’m hyper aware of my surroundings. I absolutely loved going to the beach and spending hours and hours there during summer because I was fortunate to grow up five minutes away from the beach. Fortunately, not a lot has changed for me as my personality and interests have stayed the same and I really enjoy myself for who I am.
