Absolutely, that’s what they’re made for. This isn’t the old-school cotton crochet that gets heavy and sad. We use swim-proof yarn designed for water, so your bikini stays light, supportive, and secure in both ocean and pool.

No. Our bikinis keep their shape wet or dry. The yarn has a natural firmness, and because the bottoms are lycra-lined, they stay exactly where they’re meant to. No sagging, no slipping, no stretching out.

To keep your HippyFish items looking it's best:

• Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent.
• Rinse in fresh water after swimming, especially after exposure to chlorine or salt water. 
  
• Lay flat to dry in a shaded area.
• Avoid wringing, stretching, or machine washing to preserve it's shape and colour. 
• No ironing, crochet items should not be ironed to prevent damage to the delicate fibres. 
• Store your bikini in its linen bag to ensure it's longevity. 

A Little Care Goes a Long Way
With gentle care, your handmade piece will stay beautiful season after season.

Much faster than people expect. Our yarn is quick-drying, so your bikini won’t stay wet like cotton blends do. In sun or wind, it usually dries within 20–40 minutes.

All bottoms are lined with lycra for hygiene, structure, coverage, and to keep the shape perfect. Tops are unlined unless the design needs it.

Yes. We customise every bikini to your exact measurements. We don’t rely on generic size charts we use a detailed size guide and adjust coverage, cup depth, and fit so your bikini supports you properly and covers exactly where you want it to. Feeling confident in a bikini that truly fits is our top priority.

Every piece is handmade, not factory-produced. Most orders take 5–7 working days, depending on the style and our current queue.

Every Piece Begins With Your Order

At HippyFish, nothing is pre-made or mass-produced.
Each bikini is crafted by hand only once your order comes in, using your exact measurements, your chosen colour, and the finish that feels right for your body. This is slow fashion in its truest form, intentional, thoughtful, and made just for you.

Turnaround Time

Every piece is made from scratch. Depending on the style and our current queue, crafting your bikini or crochet pieces takes 5–7 working days (sometimes up to 10 during busy periods).

Custom Fit & Details

Fit matters. Comfort matters. Feeling confident matters.
We customise each item to your measurements, from cup depth to coverage preferences. If you need small adjustments or have a specific request, simply leave us a note at checkout or message us directly.

Slow Fashion, Always

We create intentionally. We honour the hands that make each piece and the bodies that wear them. No waste, no overproduction, no rushed factory timelines.
Just thoughtful, handmade swimwear designed to last, stitched with care, crafted for movement, and made for real bodies.

That’s exactly what we’re here for. Tell us what you usually wear, what you struggle with, and what you want more/less of & we will suggest the style that fits your body, support your needs, and comfort level.
