About

We are inspired by contemporary Australian style and a passion for excellence. Founded by Dale McCarthy, we are a majority female owned and run business based in Sydney. We create elegant, sophisticated swimwear & apparel using only the finest quality, sustainably produced fabrics and premium craftsmanship.

Our swimwear is now recognised worldwide for its emphasis on pared-back, sleek silhouettes that use our three, technically advanced swim base-cloths that deliver superior performance to optimise look, fit, feel and longevity.

We are proud to be stocked around the world by prestigious retailers including Anthropologie, David Jones, Harvey Nichols, Goop, Moda Operandi, Neiman Marcus, Net-a-porter, Nordstrom and Revolve.

We have an ongoing commitment to uncompromising quality and sustainability. Every fabric is consciously sourced. Each piece is painstakingly fitted and refitted to perfect its cut. Each trim is hand selected or custom made. Each garment is expertly crafted in limited runs.

When our customers wear BONDI BORN we hope it brings them joy, through body confidence, an elevated sense of style and the knowledge that by buying BONDI BORN they are doing what's best for people and planet.

Our mission statement is “To empower and inspire the summer style of women all over the world, while never compromising on quality, people or planet.”

To that end, we have become certified as a B Corporation and we are Climate Neutral Certified.
