to find quality swimwear at reasonable prices? It seems unlike for clothes, there are no retail outlet stores for swimmers and forget the markets if you're bigger than asian size. Marks & Spencers have now stopped selling swimwear, so my question goes out to you all:
I am thinking of using a contact in Australia who specialises in quality brands (Sea Folly,Jets, Zimmermann etc)and setting up my own website offering these quality brands at bargain prices. If like me you've been into a number of shops here looking for swimmers, tried on loads but find it hard to justify $1000 ++ for such a small item; then you'll know your size and be able to order online and receive by mail.
I would also look at the feasibility of mix/match sizes. The website would include helpful 'style to suit body shape' guides as well as in depth descriptions and photos of the products.
I'd be very grateful to receive feedback from you so I can gauge demand.
Thanks very much.

There is a sea folly shop in Lan Kwai Fong, that sells larger sizes. Not cheap but good designs.

there is also the ozzie cossie ladies and the shop at the junction of wyndham and icehouse streets that sells yoga gear Running Bare? they have lots of aussie brands. Cricket club, Football club and parkview shops have aussie brands and there is Sabina Swims in soho area.
Another option is the landsend catalogues from the states, large selection of basic swimwear seperates and if they don't fit, it is free return to a hong kong address for reimbursement for most clothes, although may have to check for swimwear/underwear.

hi house101. i think its a great idea. if u search these threads you'll see that many of us non-asian shaped girls shop online or at stanley market. (ozzie cozzies at $1000 plus is a tad pricy) suggest u check out the prices online of victoria secrets and bravissimo.com before u take the plunge (pun intended!) good luck :-)
