A tropical bikini is the one pattern that never really leaves swimwear. Think palm leaves, big flowers, and colour that looks alive against a tan. The trick is a print that stays elegant instead of turning into a souvenir shirt.
Kate Kingdom makes two pieces in the same tropical print: a one-piece and a bikini. Also, it designs both near Zurich and produces them in limited editions, never in mass runs.
The Tropical One is the one-piece that started the print. It has a low scoop neckline and thin elastic cording straps in a matching colour. The high-cut legs lengthen the silhouette. Meanwhile, the Tropical Two is the two-piece version, with a distinctive neckline at the bottom of the top. Same print, same family — but a different amount of coverage.
In fact, the same piece has different names depending on where you live. People say tropical bikini, tropical swimsuit or tropical bathing suit. It comes in one piece or two. In any case, this page shows both versions of the print. That way you can compare them side by side instead of guessing from a single photo.
Both pieces use a knitted textile base that stretches with the body. So it dries quickly and holds its shape after salt water and sun. Available in sizes S to L. Rinse in cold water after swimming and dry flat, out of direct sunlight. That way a printed fabric keeps its colour far longer.
Kate Kingdom designs its swimwear near Zurich and ships from Switzerland. Shipping within Switzerland is free on orders over CHF 150. In addition, you can return any order within 30 days.
