Bond-eye

Bond-eye is famed for its “unsized,” or one-size-fits-all swimwear. Their pieces are hand-made, knitted using premium European fibres and constructed to allow four-way stretch. Boasting the brand’s famous crinkle, they’re ultra-comfy and just as flattering on all shapes and sizes.

Liandra

Liandra Gaykamangu has expanded into resortwear in recent seasons (she held her first stand-alone runway at the recent Australian Fashion Week) but her roots were in swimwear. Her brand, Liandra still makes a great swimsuit, with bikinis and one-pieces alike boasting comfort and prints designed by the founder herself.

Paying homage to the vibrant styles of the 1980s and ’90s, Loleia’s styles are fun, youthful and the perfect encapsulation of summer style. No wonder the brand has the Hailey Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian seal of approval!
