Behind the Seams - The Making of Palm Island’s Next Swimwear Icons
At Palm Island, every stitch tells a story.
Our passion lies not only in the final pieces you wear down the aisle — or on the beach afterward — but in the thoughtful, hands-on design process that brings each garment to life. For this third instalment of the Palm Island blog, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the development of two exciting new designs currently in the works.
Designing with Intention
Before a sketch hits the page, we ask ourselves one simple question:
“How will she feel in this?”
Confidence. Elegance. Ease. These aren’t extras — they’re the foundation of every Palm Island piece.
We draw inspiration from the clean lines of contour wear and the emotion of bridal fashion, using structured silhouettes, supportive fabrics, and smart details to sculpt pieces that feel as good as they look.
Now, we’re expanding our offering — and bringing you two new bikinis designed for versatility, beauty, and wearability.
The Essentials Bikini
Effortless. Elegant. Within Reach.
Our new Essentials Bikini is for the minimalist bride — or anyone looking for a refined, timeless swimwear staple. Designed to be more accessible in price, but still premium in feel, this two-piece is made from lightweight compression fabric with subtle shaping seams and a flattering, wearable cut.
Why we love it:
It’s a quiet classic — clean, sculpting, and versatile enough to wear before, during, or long after the big day.
Whether you’re lounging poolside on your hen do or honeymooning in the sun, this bikini offers understated style that lasts beyond the wedding season.
The Signature Convertible Bikini
Two Looks. One Design. Always You.
Next in the pipeline: the Signature Convertible Bikini — a structured two-piece that transforms from strapped to bandeau in seconds.
With built-in hidden support and seamless fastenings, this style is perfect for brides who want options: wear it with straps for movement and support, then remove them for a strapless silhouette ideal for tanning, photography, or day-to-night transitions.
What makes it iconic:
You get two looks in one — without compromising comfort, support, or elegance.
We’ve prototyped this piece meticulously, blending bridal-inspired aesthetics with technical performance.
From Sketchpad to Shoreline
At Palm Island, your experience is at the heart of our design process. Whether you’re preparing for your big day, your honeymoon, or simply indulging in beautiful swimwear — we’re here to help you feel like your most radiant self.
Both the Essentials and Signature Convertible bikinis are currently in development, and we’ll be sharing updates, sneak peeks, and pre-order options very soon.
