Lucky Brand takes its cues from the East with this Batik Rose bikini.
Real batik sees artisans dripping hot wax over their cloths before coloring them. The dye doesn’t penetrate the wax covered spaces, and so we’re left with pale markings once the substance is removed. Lucky Brand has taken some shortcuts here and used a print rather than the traditional wax. That’s unsurprising for this price, but still disappointing for traditionalists.
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.
While the print is a poor imitation of the traditional art, it’s not a bad pattern in its own right. I’m not so fussed on the piping which separates the pink and green panels though. The blue accents are intended to create interest, but they just seem a bit messy.
While the print hasn’t wowed me I really like the Batik Rose’s design. Its halter straps are wider than the average, so they should provide extra support and be a bit more comfortable against your neck. I also appreciate the removable padding in the bra, which ensures the Batik Rose looks good on women of all shapes.
Lucky Brand’s Batik Rose isn’t one of the most impressive bikinis on the market, but at $50 it is one of the cheapest. If money matters you could do worse!
