Botanica TOP x Sofie Seyah no

Our flattering and reversible bikini top has been re-imagined with these wonderful prints from @SofieSeyah! A classic cut with an easy fit and enduring style, there are no clasps to fuss with or get in the way of ocean action. Just tidy lines and two ways to wear each bikini top.

BUST: sizes 6-20 suitable for most busts A-D cup; but it is up to the individual as we are all different! Sold as separates so you can get a great fit! I can also cross the back straps on these tops if it helps for even better fit : )

Printed on recycled polyester REPREVE ® (printed fabric) and lined with a Side B block colour in stunning ECONYL® regenerated nylon (solid fabric). This means this fabric is reducing landfill and VOCs, and using less carbon. Made with love by the incredibly skilled team in their Bali studio. Couple with our ocean or calling rashie for long days in the sun.

FABRIC CARE: Print - 78% Recycled Polyester, 22% Elastane; Block colour 78% Regenerated Nylon, 22% Elastane. Rinse after wearing and dry in the shade. If laundering cold wash only, ideally in a laundry bag. Do not tumble dry. Made with love in Bali.

This reversible cut results from a collaboration between Claire in Freo and Pak Topik and Ms Juju in the Bali studio.

These Ocean inspired prints have been painted in water colours by the wonderful Sofie:  Marine Scientist - Artist - Surfer - Mother - Treasure Hunter. Sofie is a massive ocean lover and has been collaborating with Claire in the Freo store, where we also stock her stunning prints and cards. Together they sought inspiration from Sofie's work and the ocean to produce both abstract and naturalistic prints for ocean lovers.

The fabric is purchased in Indonesia from Mustofa at SAS Textile. It is digitally printed in a Balinese home business by owner/operator Pak Arif. He does an amazing job and is so proud of the results.

The team at Gemi are lead by Ms Juju in her home studio. Cutting and finishing/quality checks are done by Fatima and Koko. All sewing is done by Topik, Narmi and Kadek. Whenever I visit these guys the place is full of laughter and chatter. Kids play in the yard after school. All holidays are taken paid, and there is no enforced overtime.

The result is these mightily beautiful garments, sewn with love, made to last.
