Bond-Eye Bikini Bottoms — Handmade in Sydney, Made for Every Body
Your swimwear is only as good as the bottom half. Shop bond-eye bikini bottoms at Splash Swimwear and discover why Australia's most artisan-crafted swimwear brand has built a cult following one crinkle bottom at a time. Every bond-eye bikini bottom is handmade in Sydney from The Authentic Crinkle™ — the brand's signature fabric constructed from premium European-knit fibres and GRS-certified recycled materials — delivering a soft, four-way stretch fit that moves with your body from the first stroke to the last.
Unsized and designed to fit XS to L, bond-eye bikini bottoms adapt to your unique shape through the natural give of the crinkle fabric rather than rigid sizing. Most styles can be worn low-rise, mid-rise, or high on the hip simply by adjusting the sides — giving you multiple looks and coverage levels from a single piece. Whether you gravitate toward a cheeky cut that elongates your legs, a high-waisted brief that provides confident midsection coverage, an adjustable tie-side for a customisable fit, or a full-coverage hipster for active swimming days — the bond-eye range at Splash has your bottom covered.
Pair with bond-eye bikini tops, one pieces, and resort wear cover-ups to complete your bond-eye wardrobe.
Discover the Bond-Eye Bikini Bottom Silhouettes
Bond-eye organises its bottom range by coverage level and cut — making it simple to find exactly the silhouette that suits your style and confidence level this season.
Cheeky Bikini Bottoms — Bond-eye's most popular cut. The cheeky sits high on the hip with a playful rear cut-out that creates a lifted, sculpted look and dramatically elongates the leg line. The adjustable waistline can be worn low for a Brazilian feel, mid-hip for a classic cheeky silhouette, or pulled higher for extra coverage and a sleek, leg-lengthening effect. Often referred to as a Brazilian bikini bottom — this is the cut that owns the beach.
High-Waisted Bikini Bottoms — For maximum tummy and hip coverage with a vintage-inspired silhouette. Bond-eye high-waist bottoms sit above the natural waist, offering a smooth, flattering fit that works beautifully with the brand's crop tops and bralette styles. A natural companion to the retro-meets-modern aesthetic that defines the brand.
Tie-Side Bikini Bottoms — The tie-side bottom is bond-eye's most adjustable silhouette. Soft string ties at each hip allow you to customise your fit and coverage throughout the day — tie high for a cheeky effect or lower for a relaxed, hipster feel. Bond-eye's signature beaded tie-side styles, featuring recycled resin beads on the side ties, have become some of the brand's most recognised and photographed pieces. The adjustable nature also makes tie-sides ideal for women between sizes.
Hipster Bikini Bottoms — A low-rise, moderate-coverage brief that sits at the hip for a comfortable, classic fit. Bond-eye hipster bottoms are ideal for active beach days, pool sessions, and women who prefer a traditional bikini brief silhouette without the higher rise of a retro-waisted style.
Full Coverage Bikini Bottoms — Generous rear coverage in bond-eye's refined aesthetic. The full-coverage silhouette provides maximum confidence for swimming, water sports, and any occasion where total rear coverage is the priority — without sacrificing the quality and texture that sets bond-eye apart.
High-Cut Bikini Bottoms — A 90s-inspired high legline cut that sits well above the natural hip crease, creating a dramatic elongating effect on the legs and a striking, fashion-forward silhouette that is firmly back in style.

Bond-Eye's Core Colourways — Always in Stock, Always in Style
At the heart of the bond-eye bottom range is the Core Collection — four timeless colourways in proven cuts that are designed to transcend every season and every trend cycle. These are the investment pieces you build the rest of your wardrobe around:
Black — The ultimate swimwear foundation. Bond-eye black bikini bottoms pair with any top in your collection — from a matching bond-eye black bikini top for a sleek monochrome look, to a bold seasonal print top for a statement contrast combination. A black bond-eye bottom is the most versatile purchase in any swimwear wardrobe.
Optic White — Crisp, clean, and effortlessly sophisticated. White bikini bottoms ground bold, colourful tops beautifully or create an elevated, cohesive look when paired with a matching bond-eye white top. The white crinkle texture photographs exceptionally well and is particularly popular for resort and holiday styling.
Baywatch Red — The colourway that demands attention. Bond-eye red bikini bottoms are the confident choice — pair with a matching red top for a full statement look, or ground a loud pattern with a red bottom to anchor the colours. Bold, vibrant, and unapologetically Australian.
Khaki — A muted, warm olive-green that brings understated colour to any swimwear combination. Bond-eye's khaki bottom pairs with earthy neutrals, warm whites, and deep tones with equal ease — a sophisticated alternative to the standard solid colourways that works across tropical, coastal, and resort aesthetics alike.
Beyond Core, bond-eye's seasonal colour releases bring limited-edition shades — ocean blues, blush pinks, emerald greens, and beyond — available at Splash Swimwear while stocks last. Check new bond-eye arrivals to stay across the latest drops.
The Authentic Crinkle™ — What Makes These Bottoms Different
Bond-eye bikini bottoms are made from The Authentic Crinkle™ — an exclusive fabric construction knitted in Europe and handcrafted in Sydney by skilled artisans. The signature crinkle texture is created through a proprietary knitting technique that permanently waves the fabric without any chemical treatment, meaning the texture is inherent to the structure of the cloth itself and never washes flat.
The four-way stretch of The Authentic Crinkle™ is what makes bond-eye bottoms truly inclusive — the fabric adapts to your shape rather than requiring precise sizing. This is also what makes the variable rise possible: the same pair of crinkle bottoms can be worn low, mid, or high on the hip depending on how you position the waistband, with the fabric adjusting to accommodate. Most styles are crafted from GRS-certified recycled nylon and polyester blends — quality swimwear that is also consciously made.
How to Style Bond-Eye Bikini Bottoms
Bond-eye bottoms are built for mixing, matching, and styling well beyond the waterline.
Classic Coordination — Pair any bond-eye bottom with a matching top from the same Core colourway for a clean, put-together look that requires zero effort. Black on black, white on white, red on red — each Core combination is a proven winner.
Mix and Match — Combine a seasonal print top with a Core black or white bottom for a balanced look where the pattern carries without overwhelming. Or invert it — a Core bottom in a bold colourway under a textured crinkle or lurex shimmer top adds depth to an otherwise simple combination.
Beyond the Water — Style a bond-eye high-waist bottom with a tucked-in beach top and a linen overshirt for a beach-town lunch look. The crinkle fabric's natural texture works equally well as swimwear and as casual beach clothing layered with a cover-up or sarong.
Resort Styling — Pair a cheeky tie-side bottom with a bond-eye bandeau top and a sheer resort dress layered over the top for effortless beach-to-bar dressing. Add a woven bag, gold earrings, and a wide-brim hat to complete the look.
Bond-Eye Bikini Bottoms FAQs
What size are bond-eye bikini bottoms? Bond-eye bikini bottoms are unsized — they fit XS to L through the natural four-way stretch of The Authentic Crinkle™ fabric. The fabric adapts to your body shape rather than requiring precise sizing. If you are between sizes or carry your measurements differently across your hips and waist, bond-eye's stretch construction accommodates without needing to size up or down.
Can I change the rise of bond-eye bikini bottoms? Yes — this is one of the most versatile features of The Authentic Crinkle™. Most bond-eye bottoms can be worn low on the hip for a relaxed, hipster feel, at mid-hip for a classic bikini position, or pulled high on the hip for a cheeky, leg-elongating effect. The crinkle fabric adjusts to each position comfortably, giving you multiple silhouettes from a single bottom.
What are cheeky bikini bottoms? Cheeky bikini bottoms sit between a classic brief and a thong — they provide moderate-to-minimal rear coverage with a playful cut that sits high on the hip. Bond-eye's cheeky styles are also referred to as Brazilian-cut bikini bottoms. The high-hip positioning elongates the leg line and creates a lifted, sculpted look. They are ideal for sunbathing, beach swimming, and women who prefer a confident, fashion-forward silhouette.
How do I tie bond-eye tie-side bikini bottoms? Position the bottom evenly on your hips, then tie each side with a secure bow or knot at your preferred tightness. For the most secure fit in the water, double-knot each side. To adjust coverage, tie higher on the hip for a cheeky effect or lower and looser for a hipster silhouette. Bond-eye's beaded tie-side styles can also be tied with the bead detailing sitting at the front of each hip for an elevated styling touch.
What bikini top pairs best with bond-eye black bottoms? Any top works with a bond-eye black bottom — that's precisely why black is the brand's most-stocked Core colourway. A matching black bond-eye bikini top creates a sharp, monochrome look. A seasonal print or lurex shimmer top against a black bottom lets the top carry the visual interest while the bottom grounds the combination. A coloured top — red, cobalt, or emerald — against a black bottom creates a bold, high-contrast statement.
Are bond-eye bikini bottoms sustainable? Yes — most bond-eye styles are crafted from GRS-certified recycled nylon and polyester blends. The brand manufactures exclusively in Sydney, Australia, supporting local artisan production and reducing transport-related environmental impact. The bond-eye Eco Swim range is dedicated entirely to recycled fabrications across the full swimwear collection.
Where are bond-eye bikini bottoms made? Every bond-eye piece is handmade in Sydney, Australia, on Gadigal country in New South Wales. Bond-eye produces in small artisan runs with a commitment to ethical, local manufacturing — a quality standard that is visible in the finish, stretch, and longevity of every garment.
