...a little French Bikini
The French Bikini story began four years ago on a trip around Europe. While holidaying with her family in France, French Bikini Director Helen purchased several pairs of gorgeous bikinis for herself and her daughter Jennifer. The trip took her from France to the Italian Riviera and the Greek Islands and her bikinis lasted the distance. She couldn’t help but notice the array of colours and detail in the swimwear worn by European women.
Catching up with good friend and fellow mum Effie, the girls who are both European, talked about how difficult it is to find European products in Australia at a reasonable cost. The girls did much research and discovered the way to make such products accessible was through online sales and most recently through the French Bikini Boutique in Carlton North Melbourne.
The French Bikini philosophy is that all women deserve a little luxury in their lives… a little French Bikini.
