Bond Eye
Bond-Eye Swimwear — Born in Sydney, Built for Summer
There is swimwear, and then there is bond-eye. Shop the complete bond-eye collection at Splash Swimwear — Australia's most artisan-crafted swimwear brand, designed and handmade in Sydney on Gadigal country in New South Wales. Every piece in the bond-eye range is constructed from The Authentic Crinkle™ — an exclusive, permanently textured fabric knitted from premium European fibres and GRS-certified recycled materials — and finished by the hands of skilled Sydney artisans who give each garment its unmistakable character.
Bond-eye exists at the intersection of intention and authenticity. The crinkle texture is not a treatment or a print — it is woven into the structure of the fabric itself, meaning it softens and moves more beautifully with every wear, every wash, and every summer. The unsized construction fits XS to L through the fabric's natural four-way stretch, accommodating cup sizes A to E across most styles without traditional sizing. This is swimwear designed to adapt to your body — not the other way around.
Whether you're building a summer wardrobe from scratch or adding to a collection you've spent years curating, bond-eye's range at Splash covers every occasion: from the first swim of the morning to the last drink of the evening.
The Complete Bond-Eye Range at Splash Swimwear
Bond-Eye Bikini Tops Triangle, bandeau, balconette underwire, crop, halter, and high-neck racerback styles — each handmade in Sydney and available in the brand's Core colourways and seasonal limited editions. Bond-eye bikini tops are designed for mixing and matching, with a consistent sizing approach and colourway palette that makes every combination work.
Bond-Eye Bikini Bottoms Cheeky, high-waisted, tie-side, hipster, full coverage, and high-cut silhouettes — all crafted from The Authentic Crinkle™ and designed to be worn at variable rise. Pull them up high on the hip for a leg-elongating cheeky effect, or wear at mid-hip for a classic silhouette. Bond-eye bottoms pair with every top in the range and are available in the same seasonal colourways.
Bond-Eye One Pieces The Mara V-neck. The Bisou halter keyhole. The Fane strapless bandeau. Bond-eye's one piece range spans cheeky to full coverage, strapless to halter, and low back to high neck — each one handmade in small production runs in Sydney. Many styles double as bodysuits for spontaneous beach-to-brunch transitions.
Bond-Eye Resort Wear & Cover-Ups Crinkle dresses, mesh sarongs, cotton knit sets, resort skirts, and wide-leg pants — all designed in the same seasonal colourways as the swimwear, so your full look coordinates effortlessly from sand to restaurant. Bond-eye resort wear doesn't just cover your swimsuit; it elevates it.

The Authentic Crinkle™ — Fabric That Defines a Brand
No other swimwear brand in Australia makes fabric quite like bond-eye. The Authentic Crinkle™ is the result of a production process that begins in Europe, where premium fibres are knitted using a proprietary technique that creates permanent, organic waves in the cloth. Those rolls of crinkle fabric are then shipped to Sydney, where they are cut, assembled, and finished entirely by hand.
The permanence of the crinkle is important: it is not a chemical finish that washes out over time, and it is not a printed effect. The waves are structural — part of how the fabric was made — which means a bond-eye piece worn for five summers looks just as good as one worn for five days, just with more personality. The four-way stretch is similarly inherent to the construction: the crinkle's natural give means the same garment fits an XS and an L with equal ease, making bond-eye one of the most genuinely inclusive swimwear brands in Australia.
Over 80% of the bond-eye collection is made using regenerated nylon from pre-consumer materials, produced by a premium Italian mill using renewable energy and reduced water processes. The brand also uses recycled packaging and limited production runs to minimise waste at every stage. This is what sustainability looks like when it is stitched into the fabric — literally.

Style Your Summer with Bond-Eye
Bond-eye is designed to move with you — and to keep moving long after you've left the water.
At the Beach — Start with a bond-eye triangle or bandeau top paired with a cheeky tie-side bottom for the most-photographed combination in Australian swimwear. Add a straw hat and a bond-eye crinkle sarong for a complete look that needs nothing more.
Pool to Café — Style a bond-eye one piece as a bodysuit with wide-leg linen pants and woven sandals. Throw a linen shirt over the top. You've gone from pool to café without changing a thing.
Beach to Bar — Layer a bond-eye crop bikini top under a resort mesh dress or slip a crinkle midi over your one piece. Add gold jewellery, a cross-body bag, and a low sandal. Bond-eye's consistent seasonal colourways make every combination work — pick any two pieces from the same collection and the result is always considered.
Resort Week — Pack two tops, two bottoms, and one one piece. Bond-eye's mix-and-match principle means those five pieces become ten or more distinct looks across the week. Add one bond-eye resort dress and a sarong and your entire holiday wardrobe fits in a carry-on. See new arrivals at Splash for the current season's best.
Bond-Eye at Splash Swimwear — FAQs
What is bond-eye swimwear? Bond-eye is a Sydney-based, Australian-owned swimwear brand that designs and handmakes every garment in Sydney from The Authentic Crinkle™ — a proprietary crinkle fabric knitted from premium European and recycled fibres. The brand is known for its artisan production process, unsized fit philosophy, and commitment to sustainable, ethical manufacturing. Splash Swimwear is proud to stock the full bond-eye range in Australia.
What sizes does bond-eye come in? Bond-eye swimwear is unsized — every piece is designed to fit XS to L through the natural four-way stretch of The Authentic Crinkle™ fabric. Most styles accommodate cup sizes A to DD/E. The fabric adapts to your unique shape and proportions, making traditional sizing unnecessary. For guidance on specific styles, visit the Splash Swimwear team or refer to the bond-eye fit guide.
Is bond-eye swimwear sustainable? Yes — sustainability is embedded in bond-eye's production from material sourcing through to packaging. Over 80% of the collection uses regenerated nylon from pre-consumer materials, produced by a premium Italian mill with renewable energy and reduced water processes. The brand uses recycled packaging, limits production runs to minimise waste, and manufactures exclusively in Sydney to reduce transport emissions.
Where is bond-eye made? Every bond-eye piece is handmade in Sydney, Australia, on Gadigal country in New South Wales. The brand's small-run, artisan production model means every garment is assembled with hands-on precision — a quality standard that is visible in every seam, stitch, and crinkle.
How do I style bond-eye swimwear? Bond-eye is built for mix-and-match styling — the consistent Core colourways (black, optic white, baywatch red, khaki) and seasonal palette mean any top works with any bottom. Beyond swimwear, bond-eye one pieces double as bodysuits styled with pants or skirts, and bikini crop tops layer naturally under shirts or resort dresses. The brand's own resort wear collection at Splash is co-designed in the same seasonal colourways as the swimwear, making complete head-to-toe coordination effortless.
What is The Authentic Crinkle™? The Authentic Crinkle™ is bond-eye's exclusive fabric — a crinkle construction knitted in Europe from premium fibres and handcrafted in Sydney. The crinkle texture is permanent and structural (not a chemical treatment), making it unlike any other crinkle fabric on the market. It stretches in four directions, adapts to every body shape, and improves with wear. Most Authentic Crinkle™ styles are crafted from GRS-certified recycled materials.
Can I wear bond-eye swimwear as everyday clothing? Absolutely — it's central to the brand's design philosophy. Bond-eye one pieces work as bodysuits paired with pants or skirts. Bikini tops and crop styles layer naturally as casual tops. The resort wear range — dresses, skirts, sarongs, and knitwear — are designed as standalone garments as much as swimwear layers.
