Bored with the usual swimwear? Try these patterns on for size.

The brand: Hotel Bondi, designed by the husband-and-wife team of Damion Fuller and Fern Levack

The lowdown: The Bondi Beach-inspired prints are cheeky interpretations oflocal icons. "From a distance, it's a bold print," says Fuller of the Valley Boys design. "But upon closer inspection, each of the polka dots is actually an illustration of a Bondi Boardrider club member."

The quote: "We just want to invest in a car, an inflatable mattress, and drive across the east and west coasts of America selling bikinis," says Fuller. More power to you, Damion. For more information, see www.hotelbondiswim.com.
