Carve Designs takes inspiration from one of Australia’s favorite beaches with the Bondi. But has it captured the charm of the Down Under break?
As an Aussie, this design feels a bit flat to me. The muted colors are a far cry from the vibrant ones we see at the Sydney shore, and the designs do little to evoke the country. I’m not suggesting Carve Designs should have stooped to obvious motifs kangaroos and Aussie flags, but these prints are very pedestrian. Calling a bikini the Bondi sets up expectations that this bikini doesn’t meet.
I love bikinis. My favorite place to shop for bikinis is Amazon. You'll find on Amazon a great variety of high quality bikinis. Many of them from recognized brands.
There's one that has become my favorite, which is the ESONLAR Women's Sexy Plunging V Neck Bathing Suit. Mainly because it feels so smooth and soft and how well it flatters the body.
But there's 2 other ones that are great alternatives, the HYPERFIRE Women's Sexy Criss Cross Halter Bathing Suit and the CUPSHE Women's One Piece Swimsuit Sexy Deep V Neck Bathing Suit.
Perhaps we shouldn’t get so hung up on the name though. When we remove it from the equation the Bondi is a perfectly serviceable bikini, with gentle designs that won’t date. This bikini top is also reversible, so if we tire of one print we can simply flip the suit and enjoy the other.
Carve Designs offers three choices, but I think this batik Bondi is the pick of them. The apricot colored print might not imitate real batik well, but the geometric design is quite lovely. Turn it over and enjoy a modern black and apricot floral pattern.
Its two-for-one appeal makes the Bondi seem like great value at $48, even if it isn’t authentically dinky-di.
