My Story
In 2013, my university grad trip to the Caribbean was quickly approaching, which meant one thing: I needed cute bikinis. I started shopping and quickly realized how hard it was to find one I actually felt good in.
I tried on countless bikinis. They were all too skimpy and made me feel very exposed/insecure, or too covered which made me feel frumpy. The bottoms were the worst. They were either too low and my belly pooch would hang over the top, or the bum was saggy and ill-fitting. As I continued shopping, torturing my confidence in change rooms, I realized there wasn't a single bikini out there that could actually flatter my curves the way I wanted. I then decided to put my business degree to use and design my own style of bikini bottoms:
'The Backwards Bikini'
What has now become a best seller, the mid-rise cheeky bikini bottoms are designed to flatter all shapes and sizes by providing extra coverage for the tummy and hips, while enhancing/showing off the booty. The moment I perfected the design, I knew I had created something special because of how confident I felt wearing it. I figured that other women must be feeling the same frustrations as me and would appreciate affordable bikini bottoms designed with their curves in mind.
Every TCB bikini is made in Toronto, Canada and available in sizes XS-4XL. As a one-woman business, I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve created and even prouder to make swimwear that help women feel confident in their bodies. So, for all of you that are struggling to find confidence on the beach - these bikinis are made thoughtfully for you.
