If you’re a regular around here, you’ll know this is not the first time I’ve shared Cleonie Swimwear and that’s because they are hands down my favourite pair of swimwear.

Their Conscious Crinkle collection is made with love, to order in Australia - so you can get a custom fit if you like. It’s super stretchy and downright comfy with style. Their colour palette is so much fun to mix and match that I guarantee you’ll have trouble choosing.

We love that Cleonie not only make their products in Australia, but that their exclusive eco-crinkle fabric is also made in Australia from recycled plastic bottles. Committed to leaving a lighter footprint their packaging is also made from recycled materials.
