One of our favourite swimsuit styles, the X-Back, now available in a playful Liberty print featuring brightly coloured zoo animals. Designed to adapt perfectly from lengths and laps to holiday lounging. With built-in bust support and a flattering scoop back for maximum tan: this fun piece is a swim-wardrobe staple. Made with Liberty Fabrics.
Our Monroe shape fits C-E cup busts. For AA-B busts, shop The Hepburn. For F-HH busts, shop The Hendricks.
United KingdomFeels really well made and good quality. I am so gutted you are closing down!
United KingdomBeautiful swimsuit, I’m very sad this shop is shutting down
GermanyThe X-Back Swimsuit Zoo - Monroe looks fabulous - also on someone who has no tan at all - and fits like a glove - thank you for pointing out that your swimsuits need time to stretch. The cut is perfect for someone who doesn't want to show too much skin, while the fabric design might mean that I get more looks than I intended. I hope to be wearing this swimsuit for the rest of my life.
United KingdomI dithered whether a swimsuit could be worth this much money. Believe me it is. It is really well made - in sections so the bust support and tummy support are excellent.There is longer coverage at the back over the booth which I appreciate. I love swimming but had nearly given up on finding a swimsuit that fitted. I LOVE the fabric as well - really cheerful. I’m 55, 5ft 2 and a 12/14. I ordered the 14 Monroe and it fits perfectly - just enough support but not too tight. The x back really helps keep everything in place.
United KingdomPerimenopause gifted me about 15 kgs extra weight in the space of a year- this swimsuit has given my confidence back. It’s beautifully cut, really flattering and not to mention comfy. And i love the playful print!
At Deakin and Blue we're reinventing swimwear: developing pieces that are transformational in how they feel, how they move and how they are made.
FEEL BETTER
Nancy's body story"Although I chose my swimwear because I loved the print, it was mostly about the shape. Deakin & Blue swimwear does sit nicely on figures in a kind of classic way. Vintage is maybe the right word; old-fashioned in a good way. I love that they’re quite simple and don't have fussy, tie-up bits so they just suit the shape of our bodies."
MOVE BETTER
The X(-Back) marks the spotDesigned to give you confidence for swimming, surfing or simply sunbathing. Here's how:
1. Soft, supportive double-lined fabric
2. Built-in bust support & shape
3. Flattering scooped X-Back
4. Smart panelling for a sculpted shape
