*Please note we do not copy swimsuits or make them from photos or drawings. We work from our own range of patterns, of which there are many. We do this simply because some swimsuits look amazing in pictures but in real life they do not stay up, stay on, or provide any support and people can be disappointed that this is the case.

Our Swimwear

Our styles are tried and tested to make sure everything stays where it should be. We don’t muck around with flimsy, strappy or strapless things that look amazing in photoshoots but don’t actually stay up or on when you try to wear them in real life. How frustrating is it when you try to do aquasize or take your children to the pool or the beach and you are constantly making sure you are still being covered by your swimsuit or you spend all day pulling it down because it’s riding up?!

All of our plain colours are chlorine resistant, an exceptional quality fabric that can withstand the harsh effects of chlorinated water and the heat of spa pools. The life of this fabric is amazing compared to normal swimsuit lycra. This gives longevity to your suit and saves you time and money having to replace it frequently. We don’t do fast fashion. We want your swimsuit to last and not end up in a landfill well before its time.

To Last...

Rachel had her first swimsuit made by us in 1999, we have made her a few suits since then but because they last so well she has needed only a few.

She swims 5 mornings a week so her swimsuits get a real workout. This is her latest pair, the first we've made her since the 2011 earthquake, that's how long the last pair lasted. Our swimsuits go the distance!
