Australian Spotlight – Ruby Hoppen!

It’s been a weird summer here in Sydney, that is no doubt, but a recent talk with my sister about an island holiday had me dreaming of fun swimsuits. I know of all the usual great swimwear places, but as i’m slightly addicted to etsy at the moment, I thought I’d do a little search. It came up with Ruby Hoppen, a gorgeous crafter residing in Victoria, Australia! SCORE!

I loved the retro styling of the bathers, I love the pointier shape of the top in the Bombshell Bikini, the velvet of the Glambake Bathers & the cut away back of the Bombshell bathers. I’m thinking of saving to invest in the Glambake Bathers, as I can see myself wearing it often, not just as a swimsuit, but as clothing. Imagine it paired with a midi skirt, perfection! All of the swimwear come with a control feature on the bust, and as they are halterneck, they are adjustable.

I am able to make these in different colours and patterns, I will endeavour to cater to all sizes. Please contact me if you are interested in a custom swimsuit.

That’s the line that impressed me even more! When talking with Ruby (I always ask the person/brand, before posting an Aussie spotlight) she seemed lovely. While i’ve not purchased anything, she seems to be a lady who is willing to work with you, I’d feel really confident in talking with her about finding the perfect fit for me. As these items are made to order, she’s able to cater to YOUR sizing.  Which yes, means plus sizes.

The current pricing is really reasonable in my opinion, with items ranging from $140 – $160au.

You can find Ruby on ETSY, FACEBOOK and she even has a BLOG!

This IS NOT a sponsored post. I just wanted to showcase some awesome Aussie talent.

    Ruby is an amazingly talented young woman! I’ve watched her grow up and develop her skills as a pattern drafter and seamstress since she was a kid. She can view a look, draft it and cut it to perfection. So glad you featured her!

    You should definitely get on it – I’ve seen them IRL and they’re fab! I’m saving up for Glambake myself, and totally agree that they’d be really cute as outerwear. :)
