This Fashion Revolution Week, we are shining a light on who makes our clothes, and why we partner with our manufacturers. Baiia swimsuits are made with love in a factory located in Guangzhou, China.  We acknowledge that there is currently political tension between China and the rest of the world, particular Australia. There are a few reasons for this, such as the global enquiries as to the origin of the COVID-19 virus and how long knowledge of the virus was kept from the public, the Chinese government's treatment of minorities such as the abuse of Uyghur muslims workers at the...

It’s no secret that our world has a big plastic problem. One commonly referenced stat is that by 2050 there will be estimated more plastic in the ocean than fish (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2016). Many synthetic clothing fibres, such as polyester, are plastic-based. Polyester in particular was originally designed to be infinitely recyclable, however the technology to do so wasn’t created in tandem with the creation of polyester itself.  Single-use plastic, synthetic fibres in clothing and nets from the fishing industry are causing devastating effects on the environment. Microfibers, small pieces of plastic less than 5mm in diameter, were even...

We’ve received a lot of enquiries lately about whether our Wrapsuits are suitable for small busts. The answer is yes! There is a common misconception that our swimsuits are created exclusively for curvy, big-busted ladies. This is simply not the case!  Amber, the designer and founder of Baiia originally designed the suit for herself as a petite, small-busted figure. Through the years, our design revisions have meant that we’ve been able to cater for all body types while still staying a great suit for the itty bitty committee! The suit is designed to have a firm fit which means that...

On International Women’s Day we celebrate all of the phenomenal things that women have achieved, while consistently working towards gender parity in social, economic and environmental spaces.  International Women’s Day was first celebrated in 1911, so this year marks well over a century of celebrating women's empowerment. We are taking this time to admire the strength and camaraderie amongst women and thank those in our lives for standing by us every day. The theme of this year’s IWD is “Women in Leadership”. At Baiia, this day is important for us as a female-founded brand, because it is a reminder of...

We love mummas at Baiia, and we are always trying to find ways to make them feel their best. While our Wrapsuits are not specifically designed for maternity wear, we’ve had many of our customers wear their Wrapsuits through their earlier months! In this post we’ve outlined some common queries, how the Wrap works for you, and what you can expect from sizing. Whether it will be suitable for your pregnancy depends on what you’re looking for out of your swimsuit.  To better understand our Wrapsuit, we’ve explained the construction of our unique three-piece design here.  Our Wrapsuit is made up...

Baiia's most celebrated creation, our signature 3 piece wrapsuit is like nothing ever been made before. While this world-first design is loved for a number of reasons - one of which is its ability to flatter so many different body shapes -  it's real uniqueness lies in the design’s longevity and its fundamental concept of diversity. For example, one swimsuit offers up to 4 variations of different ways to wear. When mix & matched with another swimsuit, you get 8 to 15 different swimsuit variations! Why was this important to us? Well, it all goes back to our philosophy of using minimal resources, but getting the most out of our wear.....

We're asked daily whether our reversible wrapsuits are suitable for small busts, large busts and everything in between. So, we're taking it to the blog to answer all your questions bust related. First up: Will these work for larger busts? Answer: Yes! But it depends on what you're wanting from a swimsuit. While our suits are either double or triple lined (Triple lined meaning these styles are the most supportive, this is outlined on each product page) with our incredibly firm Italian fabrics, the suits do not feature underwire or padding. This is to allow for the suit's reversibility. The design & construction of the suit...

Neither cheeky nor boy-leg, our backside coverage is the perfect mix between the two - offering the benefits of both. This is the 5th revision of our signature wrapsuit, each time refining the design based on customer feedback to finally land on our best backside coverage yet. Our newest release features coverage that our customers have since loved! We've made it more conservative, but not so covered that it starts resembling full coverage or a boy-leg cut. While some women may still like more coverage, we found that the more fabric we started to add in that area, the more the seams started to dig in to the...
