why we'll never stoping loving The Authentic Crinkle
(and you won't either)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At bond-eye HQ, we don’t think of swimwear as clothing—rather, we look at each swimsuit as an experience.

Specifically, it’s part of your experience.

Every trip you go on, every event you participate in, every ocean you dive into — what swimsuit you wear is part and a parcel of the moment.

This is why we firmly believe that every suit should be inclusive and uplifting, with pieces tailored to accommodate a wide array of body shapes and sizes. We’re all different, after all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We believe that if a company’s got the resources for it then they should absolutely cater to every demographic.

This is what drove us to develop The Authentic Crinkle. We were obsessed with finding—and perfecting!—that ‘unsized’ fit: swimwear that would mould to multiple silhouettes.

Curves, lines, dips—it doesn’t matter. We wanted to create something that would flatter a wide range of body types.

We know that most (if not all) one-size-fits-all gimmicks are really just that; gimmicks. We don’t claim that The Authentic Crinkle is the magical exception.

But it’s pretty darn close.

bond-eye's The Authentic Crinkle fabric allows us to craft body-inclusive swimsuits without sacrificing style and wearability. Retro, cheeky, urban, edgy—whatever your preferred cut is, our pieces are sure to fit and flatter.

The Mara, for instance, is a classic one-piece suit that’s popular among our customers. It clings to your best parts and highlights your figure.

(It’s also incredibly comfy!)

Madison is another gem that just cups, skims, and supports all the right places.

The Authentic Crinkle is what allows our swimsuits to mould to a person’s dips and curves, no matter the placement or depth. Bond-eye’s custom fabrication allows our suits to fit a size XS through L, accommodating an A cup to a DD cup—and all shapes in-between.

 

 

crinkle-y and comfy

 

When you feel good, you look great.

Aside from body inclusivity and diversity, we wanted people to feel comfortable in our swimwear. We focused on the feeling of being hugged and supported. Sort of like wearing a soft, worn sweater, only a tad bit skimpier (and water-wicking).

bond-eye’s The Authentic Crinkle has a unique, hand-made texture that’s soft, snug, and remains light even when wet. Wear it to the pool, the beach, or the Jacuzzi; you’ll feel lightweight and fully covered no matter what!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knit from premium European fibres and artisanally hand-made, our custom fabric blend stretches and seamlessly accommodates any body shape.

 

It doesn’t roll, it doesn’t bunch, and it certainly doesn’t pinch! Stay cool and dry as you lounge in the afternoon sun or alternate between the sand and surf—the Mara won’t mind!

bond-eye’s The Authentic Crinkle is unlike any other material on the market. Sturdy, ultra-flexible, and hand-crafted to allow a four-way stretch, it enables our swimwear to slide on like butter and mould seamlessly to almost any silhouette.

For our one-piece items, this means a sleek outline and superb coverage without lumps, bumps, and unflattering dips.

For our crinkle bikini bottoms, this means any rise (low, mid, or high) and any booty cut without the threat of a wedgie (or that darned camel toe).

 

 

 

 

Plus, our The Authentic Crinkle’s got incredible instant recovery. You can wash and wear your bond-eye suits and bikinis for quite a while without worrying about the shape and elasticity.

In this instance, she’s glowing, and she’s wearing Mara proudly. The suit fit her before and during her pregnancy. Rest-assured it’ll fit like a glove post-delivery!  

Built with locally-sourced regenerated fibres, knitted in London, and then sent to Australia to be hand-cut and crafted, our pieces have stories. And those stories set them apart.

Our cuts are unique; our colour combinations inspired.

bonus: environmental impact

Unsized swimwear + regenerated fibres equal minimal excessive stock and maximum sustainability.

By designing this way, we avoid having to source several hundred pounds extra of fabric just to offer (and thus manufacture) multiple sizes. This means 80% of our stock is reused fabric cut-offs and nylon derived from pre-consumer raw materials.

While we believe that there’s always room to grow, learn, and improve, we’re pretty delighted with where The Authentic Crinkle fabric is right now. The innovation has opened the door to further possibilities in sustainable, functional, and body-inclusive swimwear design.

Stay tuned!
