Thanks to the generosity of Julie and Erin, Geoff and I had a lovely weekend by Lake Erie. It was too cold for a dip in the water but it did make me wish I had the perfect swimsuit -- which immediately made me think of Toronto-based Minnow Bathers. Even the name is perfect! I love how fun these suits are, and the peachy floral print (below) is just too sweet.
Available exclusively at Penny Arcade Vintage.
(Addendum: they have an Etsy shop now!)
adorable! i love those bandeaus.
ReplyDeleteyou're so right about that being the perfect name! i can't think of a more fitting moniker for a bathing suit company.
ReplyDeleteoh, how darling, i do like a bathing costume with old fashioned sensibilities, none of this high-cut cut-out neon malarky. you should get one, are you going to get one?
ReplyDeletei've given up on finding the perfect vintage-like bikini, & i'm opting for a one piece this year, & i love it, & i feel so less self-consious to boot....
ReplyDeletei love these suits you pictured.
ps. whats with this summer being so cold?
Their prints are SO nice! I'm heading to Dundas St. after work.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the peachy floral one is pure perfection :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Really digging the mens ones on their site and the last floral one. sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love the petit pois bathing suit from the 2008 collection and also the black one (one piece). They are amazing.
ReplyDeletesome of these are really really nice and classic!
ReplyDeleteoh man, i've been really wanting a swimsuit like these!! lake erie sounds fun.
