Handmade Crochet Swimwear, Made to Order

Wear it like it was made for you. Because it was.

HippyFish handcrafts every bikini to your exact measurements in Cape Town. No standard sizing. Just a perfect fit, made for your body alone.

1. Choose your piece
Pick your colour-way. Your bikini doesn't exist yet, we make it once your order is placed, for you alone.
2. We take your measurements
Cape Town based? You are invited to our studio for a complimentary in-person measurement session. Outside Cape Town? We guide you through everything on a short video call. Either way, nothing is guessed.
3. Hand-crocheted for your body
Every stitch is placed by hand, slowly, around your exact shape. This is where the fit everyone else can't offer you gets made.
4. Final fit, then yours forever
We check the fit before we finish the piece. Only when it's right do we add the lining and send it to you.

Some pieces are designed, others are discovered.

Our one-of-a-kind creations are made without a pattern to repeat, shaped slowly over many hours, guided by detail intuition, and experimentation.

Each piece is expressive, considered, and impossible to fully recreate. A standalone work, made once.
