About our Swimwear | Print |


Halcyon Blue started importing bikinis and swimsuits from Brazil. As sales grew around the world so did our frustration at not having the styles and sizes we wanted; so we decided to make our own.  All our designer swimwear is made at our factory on the beautiful (we may not have the weather but we have some of the most beautiful coasts in the world) south coast of England.  Our suits are only sold on a direct basis via this website and mail order.  We do not sell to other retailers.  This helps us maintain products of the highest quality at reasonable prices.

Our suits can be found on the finest beaches and resorts all over the world.



Bikinis built for comfort


There are many micro bikini manufacturers around the world, old and new, and all making the same sort of suits. We want our bikinis to be comfortable as well as sexy, so we use wider binding with soft cotton stitching resting on the skin. This means our suits will be more comfortable when worn in salt water and on sandy beaches.


Size matters!


Many of our competitors make "one size only" bikinis. This causes confusion as customers think this actually means "one size fits all", which couldn't be further from the truth! We realise everyone is different and so we make bikinis and accessories in a variety of sizes to ensure you can find the right fit for you.  If we don't sell your size then let us know and we will see what we can do!


Unique metal work


Instead of using stainless steel for our rings, grips, slides and name plates we use Zamak. It is rust proof, heat resistant and hypo-allergenic; all vital for high quality designer swimwear.


The finest fabrics


We source the finest swimwear lycra from around the world. We make sure it is salt water and chlorine resistant and not sensitive to sunlight - you would be amazed how much swimwear fabric isn't! If you give your suit the care and attention recommended it will give you many years of use.


Lined vs unlined!


Most of our bikinis are unlined and are designed to go see through when wet (how much depends on how dark the suit colour is). Our larger styles have lining to protect your modesty and this is specified in the description. Lined tops, unlined tops, lined bottoms and unlined bottoms can be mixed by buying separately from our "separates" section.

 

Packaging

All bikini tops and bottoms are individually packaged in re-sealable polybags to protect them in storage, on their journey to you and on their journeys with you! Care labels are sewn into all tops and bottoms and these are designed to be removed prior to wearing for your comfort and to prevent them showing through the fabric.

All our packaging is recyclable and we try to keep packaging to a minimum.  We don't send out product in fancy gift packaging, or gift wrapped as we know it only ends up in the bin.


Our aim is to make high quality, stunning and sexy bikinis that are designed to be worn, to last and enjoyed.
