These scorching summer designs are limited editions and handmade to order from We Are Handsome, a collabration between Indhra Chagoury of Oscar & Elvis Swimwear and Jeremy Somers of People Like Us. By searching through thousands of retro 80s & pop culture images and combining carefully selected elements, We Are Handsome have literally sewn a glossy, larger than life era into contemporary fashion.

Arabia and Los Angeles prints for handmade womens swimsuit by We Are Handsome

Print detail for The Arabia and the Los Angeles handmade deep-scoop-back one piece swimsuits (AUD $250ea) by We Are Handsome

Much effort and patience has obviously gone into the production process! After the initial concept was developed, the designers tested their knowledge, skills and occationally their friendship to create their debut collection. To produce the imagery, high quality polyester lycra was printed with high density inks using a placement sublimation process which "is tedious to say the least". The results speak for themselves, and offer us swimwear which will not go unnoticed!

i did contact them and it was available! yay :-) and i payed $180 so the site does have a mistake lol you were right all along :-)

That's fantastic news - so happy you were able to get it after all! (and for the original price!)

How good is that?! But for my budget a bit too expensive...=/
Cheers, Martina

i was acutally hoping it was a erro ron their site lol..
naw i so missed out!!
i was desperate for the delaware..

The Delaware is gorgeous... If you're still keen it might be worth contacting them directly - you never know!

you quoted $180 but on the site its $250???
or is there a discount number somewhere i missed out on?

At the time of posting, the prices were listed as $180, but they must have been updated since then. Thanks for letting me know & I'll change the prices now... I believe that We Are Handsome are no longer taking orders for this range, so we're eagerly awaiting a new lineup!
