Thicks and Bones is a swimwear brand designed to celebrate women, founded by Tosin Bodija. The brand name is inspired by the phrase ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.’
After the birth of her son, Tison felt challenged by the swimwear industry when looking for high quality swimwear for her holiday – swimwear that was not only comfortable but flattered her bodyshape. As a proud creative black woman, mother and full time model she dediced to design and sew her own swimwear, creating something completely different on the market.
The brand is committed to sustainable practices, using recycled swim fabrics*, manufacturing within the UK, creating unique print designs celebrating confidence, individuality and diversity.
The styles (prints and plains) come in 6 sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL) and the collection will be available online from April 2024 (prices from £85 to £130).
*All ribbed fabrics are composed of 75% recycled nylon/25% Lycra and all printed fabrics are made from 82% recycled polyester/18% elastane.
