The Lola honey was a purchase that I considered for many months, before deciding to buy. I read every review, looked online for further reviews and photos, before deciding that this swim suit must be pretty good, as all I saw were positives!
When it first arrived though, I was disappointed, as I was used to the factory/machine made products which don’t have the ‘handmade’ touches. I thought the shoulder straps were too loose, wondered if the leg bands were too tight, and didn’t like the way the ’bra’ lining pulled at the sides of the outer layer.
That being said, I have since grown to LOVE my suit, and plan to order more Lola’s to meet my daily swimming needs.
I live in cold Victoria, and swim in the winter ocean (around 9oC), so need something that comes off easily when I can’t feel my fingers so well and want to get my wet bathers off fast - and the Lola cut delivers! Those shoulder straps that I thought were ‘too loose’ have become a winter God send! I have very little trouble wriggling out of the Lola when I am cold, and this is a MUST for winter swimming in Victoria!
The other little quirks I mentioned were honestly just my getting used to handmade bathers after wearing Speedos/Ghanda for so long. The leg bands are a perfect size for my size 10 legs, and I have grown to love my quirky bodice - a trademark of something Aussie, local and handmade.
You can ABSOLUTELY shop with confidence when buying this suit - You will NOT be disappointed that you chose it in the long run.
Bless you Winki team! Thank you. 😘 xxx Bri
