What to know about BOND-EYE
One crinkle fabric runs everything
The line is built on Authentic Crinkle, a four-way-stretch tubular knit from 1980s Australian swim, with the softer Bare lycra range as the alternative.
Sizing works in broad bands
Because the fabric stretches four ways, many styles are cut as one-size or as XS/S and M/L rather than in standard numbered sizes.
Handmade in Australia, recycled yarns
Suits are made by hand in Australia from European fibres, with much of the range in recycled nylon — part of why it sits above mass-market swim prices.
