THE FABRIC OUR CUSTOMERS COME BACK FOR.

The foundation of Love & Bikinis.

The fabric behind our best sellers. A texture you know instantly. A fit that moves with you.

THE ORIGINAL CRINKLE® fabric.

THE FABRIC THAT STARTED IT ALL.

Our best-selling styles all begin with The Original Crinkle®.

Not just a crinkle fabric.The Original Crinkle®. An iconic 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.

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.

A FABRIC WITH HISTORY.

FROM 1980's TO TODAY.
