Our best-selling styles all begin with The Original Crinkle®.
Not just a crinkle fabric.The Original Crinkle®. Aniconic textured fabric has roots dating back to the early 1980s, when it was first developed and patented by its original inventor, Rosemary Moore.
Love & Bikinis established a direct relationship with the original company behind the fabric, allowing us to source our Original Crinkle® fabric directly from the company responsible for its continued production.
This connection allows us to stay true to the fabric's heritage while thoughtfully developing our signature swimwear around its unique qualities.
ONE SIZE. MADE TO MOVE.
WHY OUR SWIMWEAR IS ONE-SIZE-FITS-MOST.
The Original Crinkle® was made for movement. Its unique four-way stretch allows the fabric to adapt to the body while maintaining its shape and recovery. The original textile was developed to be exceptionally adaptable, with the ability to accommodate multiple sizes in one garment.
We took that idea and made it our philosophy.
Our signature swimwear is designed to fit approximately XS–L, with many styles accommodating a range of body shapes and approximately A–DD cup sizes, depending on the silhouette.
Designed to fit you, not the other way around.
WHAT MAKES THE FABRIC DIFFERENT?
THE ORIGINAL CRINKLE® isn't just a texture.
It is what makes the fabric instantly recognizable.
Made with 95% Polyamide, 5% Elastane (LYCRA®) fiber, The Original Crinkle® combines its distinctive textured surface with exceptional stretch and recovery, creating swimwear that moves with the body rather than restricting it.
Its four-way stretch allows the fabric to adapt to the body while maintaining its shape and recovery.

THE LOVE & BIKINIS FIT
DESIGNED AROUND THE FABRIC.
The Original Crinkle® is unlike conventional swimwear fabric, so we never wanted to treat it like one.
Every Love & Bikinis silhouette is thoughtfully designed around the unique qualities of The Original Crinkle®, allowing its stretch, recovery, and adaptability to perform at their fullest potential.
We meticulously consider how each style moves with the body, how the fabric stretches across different shapes, and how it returns to its natural form.
The result is swimwear designed to work with the fabric, not against it.
The story of the original crinkle fabric began in the early 1980s with Rosemary Moore, who patented the textile in 1980's. The fabric became known for its distinctive crinkle texture, technical innovation, and body-inclusive approach to fit.
More than four decades later, the fabric is still in production.
Love & Bikinis is proud to continue its story through our signature swimwear, bringing the original crinkle experience to a new generation.
A fabric with history.
A fit made for now.
THE ORIGINAL, REIMAGINED.
The Original Crinkle® gives us a foundation to keep creating.
We continue to explore what the fabric can become, thoughtfully developing new textures, patterns, and silhouettes while preserving the qualities that make it unmistakably Original Crinkle®.
From Stripes and Squares to what comes next, we’re always finding new ways to bring the original to life.
