We’re going back to back Sauvage Swimwear here at Bikini of the Week. But while last week saw us look at one of last year’s quiet achievers, the sexy black bikini Chains, this week we’re looking at a hot new swimsuit number from the 2009 Sauvage Swimwear range, Chocolate Suede.

Chocolate Suede by Sauvage

Chocolate Suede: the name alone is sexy. But it’s the sight of this bikini that will truly have you drooling. Similarly to Chains, Chocolate Suede comes decked in metal detailing, but here the look is hot and heavy with thick, gold link chains. Luckily, the quality of the detailing, as with all Sauvage swimsuits, is premium, so while the chains are durable and sturdy, they’re also lightweight and comfortable - a must for any bikini. In fact, the detailing on the bikini bottoms also includes an additional piece of material, added for comfort and support.

For me, the gold link chain detailing spells sophistication - with a touch of rock ‘n’ roll flair! Beach Bunny Swimwear is very good at this look, but with Chocolate Suede, Sauvage Swimwear is certainly giving them a run for their swimsuit money! This season, we’re going to be seeing a lot of chocolate browns - not just from Sauvage, but from all the major boutique designer swimwear labels. The Chocolate Suede by Sauvage however, would have to be the quintessential example. I might have said this simply because I love the Sauvage version. However, having already seen many, if not all, of the other designer swimwear collections, I mean it definitively.

More than a chocolate brown, the Chocolate Suede is toned and textured, giving the bikini fabric character and body. Also, at a distance, the visual appeal of the bikini is different to what it is up close, again adding character and unique charm to the swimsuit.

Another added benefit of the brown bikini is its ability to look clean longer and its difficulty to stain.  I for one tend to dirty my clothes easily and while I’m an absolute fan of white bikinis, it’s refreshing not to have to worry about it so much.

The Chocolate Suede bikini by Sauavge comes in a halter style top that includes removable pads for extra support and string ties at the neck and back. The pads are useful also for a more flattering look at the bust. The bikini bottoms are low rise at the front, but provide moderate coverage at the front. Personally, I love the degree of coverage you’ll find in most Sauvage bikinis - not too little, but also, not too much.

Chocolate Suede is pretty much hot off the factory floor, as are all the new designer swimsuits by Sauvage. But whether you’re after a beautiful number from last year’s swimwear season, or ready for something new from this year’s range, Sauvage is always a safe yet seriously stunning option.

New Season Sauvage Swimwear Arrives at Azura!

It seems we’re always excited here at Azura Swimwear. And really, who can blame us? We’re surrounded by gorgeous swimsuits year round and get the chance to connect with customers from around the world on a daily basis. But this week, we’re particularly excited! And with very good reason. Azura Swimwear is proud to introduce the new season Sauvage Swimwear collection, just released onto the swimwear market.

View Our 2009 Designer Swimwear Collection 

We got our first glimpse of the 2009 Sauvage Swimwear range earlier in the year when Sauvage swimwear designer Elizabeth Southwood previewed the range for fashion editors and swimwear buyers (such as ourselves) at different fashion shows and trade exhibitions across the country. But it is only now that these sexy designer swimsuits have become available to the public and Azura Swimwear is proud to be one of the first to have them in stock, bringing them direct to you so you can get your hands (and your bodies!) into these beautiful new swimsuit designs as soon as possible.

The 2009 Sauvage Swimwear collection, needless to say, is simply incredible. Year in year out, Southwood never fails to produce designer swimwear collections that stun and amaze and this year is definitely no different.

We don’t have favorites here at Azura Swimwear - we only carry brands that we love - so it’s not fair to say that Sauvage Swimwear is our favorite swimwear range. But, there really is something unique and special about Sauvage that sets it apart from the crowd.

Perhaps it is the beautiful detailing you’ll find on all of the Sauvage swimsuits - the 2009 Sauvage bikini Indian Princess is a prime example of this, studded in oriental inspired jewels. If you think this swimsuit looks good in the picture, wait till you see it in real life.

Or perhaps it is the ease with which Sauvage swimsuits fuses elegance with a point of difference - if you’re not familiar with Sauvage, check out one of this year’s most beautiful Sauvage swimsuits, Caviar, a stunning example of elegance paired with mystery, or the Chocolate Suede bikini, a sophisticated two piece swimsuit bringing together class and ease.

Personally, I love the raw scream of the jungle you’ll find in so many of Sauvage’s swimsuits - the swimsuits are sexy, but the inspiration is taken from the wild, giving them a particular kind of appeal. In fact, did you know that the word ‘sauvage’ actually mean wild in French? In the 2009 Sauvage Swimwear collection, the best example of this jungle beat is the Snake Skin bikini. Made from a gorgeous snakeskin print, taken straight from the wild, and lined with gold sequin trim, this designer swimsuit it pretty hard to beat.

As always here at Azura Swimwear, we only select the best of the best - the best swimwear designers and their best designer swimsuits. This year is no different, and as we start to introduce the 2009 women’s swimwear collections of our other designers (and get ready, we’ll be introducing some amazing new designers shortly), rest assured your happy shopping experience is in our expert hands.

So if Sauvage Swimwear seems up your alley, then don’t wait -start shopping now!
