Cross-Strap Padded Bikini Set

A two-piece built around the back. The straps cross between the shoulder blades, drawing a clean line across bare skin, while padded cups and steel bust support keep the shape of the top steady as you move from towel to water.

The knit is polyester with a matching polyester lining, high-stretch and cut close to the body, so it follows you through a swim and settles back into place when you stand. Colours run from soft powder and saffron to rose red and lake blue, with floral versions of the blue and pink for something more painterly.

Wear it for lengths in a quiet pool, for wading along a shoreline, or for an afternoon spent between sun and shade. The open back keeps the shape simple at the rear, and the close fit works well under a loose shirt when you leave the water.
