Bikinis By Bridget was created summer 2019 by me, Bridget McCluckie. I have always had a strong love for design and fashion. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had this desire to be my own boss. I was really inspired by my Mexican heritage and creating something that reflected my cultures bright and vibrant colours. After lots of research and trial and error, I travelled to Mexico to find manufactures, fabric suppliers and professional pattern designers. I discovered that one of the leading causes of pollution in the world currently is clothing manufacturing. Enormous amounts of water, land and other resources are used to create fast fashion. I knew I didn’t want to contribute to these problems, as my passion for the business was not all about success, but about inclusivity, and creating something for me, by me. So I ended up designing my own fabric as well starting my own small batch in house production in Mexico, which means my swimwear is ethically sourced and made in limited collections. All scrapes of fabric are reused to make scrunchies, ensuring that my company's waste production is as low as possible. Bikinis By Bridget carries high quality fabrics that are made out of nylon lycra, chlorine resistant fabric that have a seamless design, and are stretchy so it keeps its shape while it contours to the body.
