Trippin' on Tavik

Tavik Swimwear is fairly new on the scene, but my, what a, "scene," they are making!  They have joined forces with Ani Breslin, owner and designer for Ani Bikinis, to create some unique swimsuits, full of character and pure originality.  The Tavik Swimwear 2013 line has already made some great press including Sports Illustrated and SURFING mags.  I'm sure that there's more to come as the season progresses and more fashion editors hear about Tavik Swimwear.

We have three, or four swimsuits from the 2013 Tavik Swimwear collection.  We still await the arrival of one style, but the rest are in stock and already selling.  So, for your review, may I present Miss Ani's and Tavik's latest:



Tavik Swimwear 2013 - Creedance Bikini Front

Tavik Swimwear 2013 - Creedance Bikini Back

 The Creedance Bikini (above) is done in a watercolory, tie-dye print.  It sports a cheeky bottom and a unique top that although supportive, does not have any underwires in it.  It's cute, it's different and I think it's totally hip and sexy.  the price is not bad at only $149.



Tavik Swimwear 2013 - ZZ-Jimi Bikini Front

Tavik Swimwear 2013 - ZZ-Jimi Bikini Back

The ZZ-Jimi Bikini (we got a rock and roll theme goin' on here) is done in that great swimsuit fabric that looks a little like crochet, without all of the problems that crochet can have.  The bandeau top has a U-shaped cut-out and the cheeky bikini bottom has long, flowing strings.  Great color, BTW.  It retails for $159. 



Tavik Swimwear 2013 - Jimi-Crosby Bikini Front

Tavik Swimwear 2013 - Jimi-Crosby Bikini Back

We've mentioned Jimi-Crosby bikini previously, but it's worth a second say.  Why?  It's cute!  It's tiny!  It's RED!!!  Oh...AND it's only $139. 



Tavik Swimwear 2013 - Jefferson Bikini Front

Tavik Swimwear 2013 - Jefferson Bikini Side

This is our favorite Tavik bikini, but unfortunately it has not arrived yet...waaahhh!  We don't know why, but we wish the heck it would get here soon.  We've had so many customers inquire about it.  We're on the horn, trying to help this little high-waisted bikini find it's way home to us.  We'll keep you posted.

There are so many new swim labels out there this year, but we're sure that you'll agree that Tavik is the cream!

Sensational Solids...Somewhere Over the Bikini Rainbow

Prints have had their fun and as much as I love creating, designing and selling printed bikinis, the time has come for solid colors to take the scene.  There's the perennial black, (see my previous post below,) but there's also a miraid of new hues making it poolside this season.  The biggest color that we're seeing this summer is "Mint."  Boys + Arrows did one that borders on a bright; it's so cheerful.

Red is also a big deal this year.  Honestly, we really didn't order enough of it...we could have sold a lot more.  Marysia Swim did a little red number.

The neons have been eyecatching and extremely popular...B+A did several. 

Debbie Danger Bikini by Boys + Arrows Swimwear

 And, both Karla Colletto and ANK did a, "nude pink," that has been well received.

 Turquoise, aqua, azul, blue...all those water colors will never go out of style; nor will they ever look bad against any skin tone.  My favorite is this Lenny bikini.

Then, there's white...it always looks crisp, clean and fabulous.  These days, white is much more popular than in the past, because of the newer, "no see through," linings that are available to the industry today.   Marysia did my fave.

 I'd go on and on about bikini colors this morning, but this is the busy season, so I'll cut it short and sweet and leave you to ponder the rainbow.
