Shondel - Coco Bustier and La Bon Bikini
In our previous article spotlighting Tatiana Panakal , one of Shondel's preferred models, we delved into the Australian brand known for crafting intricate crochet swimsuits and cover-ups. Shondel's swimsuits embody simplicity with a twist, with unexpected details like the stunning net version showcased by singer Sheenseea or the elegant mesh model worn by the Aussie influencer Madi Edwards . It's undeniable that adding one of Shondel's crochet swimsuits to your wardrobe would be a splendid acquisition.
Akoia Swim - Monte Indigo Dip
Let me start by saying how much I love discovering handmade fashion that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design. And this is exactly what Akoia Swim, a Bali-based brand, has done with their latest creation - the Monte Indigo Dip bikini.
This crochet bikini is a true masterpiece, made with organically grown indigo leaves, hand-dyed, and crocheted by Balinese women using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The result is a stunning Brazilian cut bikini that is both sexy and sustainable.
What I find truly impressive is the time and dedication it takes to create just one piece. Each bikini can take up to ten days to complete, making it a true work of art.
It's Memorial Day
"It's Memorial Day" is a crochet brand founded by Delsy Gouw, based in New York City and meticulously crafted in Indonesia. Launched in 2020, the vision of the label began taking shape with the help of independent women artisans, including Delsy's mother, in their native country of Indonesia. At the forefront of crocheting, each handmade piece from Memorial Day boasts a unique design. The brand's unmistakable check pattern, inspired by the playful style of the 1990s, has caught the attention of style icons such as Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa, cementing its position as a timeless treasure within the crocheting community.

Let's talk about an amazing swimsuit in the crochet world, the "Dreamcatcher" monokini designed by Anna Kosturova, to wrap up this trip. This particular swimsuit gained popularity when Jessica Gomez wore it in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue of 2014 . Despite being a decade old, it is still being made and, in my opinion, it is one of the most attractive and beautiful monokinis ever created. This proves that crochet swimsuits have become a timeless piece in the wardrobe of anyone who loves swimwear, rather than a passing trend.
