A nod to days of old, the latest swimwear collection from peony is a throwback to the laid-back beach culture of the 1970s. A time before life got complicated and the summer brought with it endless possibility and a sense of uninhibited freedom.

The newly released Summer 14/15 collection Sand Dune offers an alluring sense of whimsy and invites you to casually mix nautical stripes, speckle prints and exquisite florals. Featuring a combination of vibrant and muted hues, the new collection represents a change of pace for the Gold Coast-based designer, Becky Jack, who got the world’s attention with her first collection of pastel loveliness.

Handmade in Australia with love, peony swimwear is made using the most luxurious Italian Lycra to deliver a superior quality and fit. The Sand Dune collection is available for pre-order online. Peony is also available at One Hundred Words in Burleigh Heads, Hope & May in Byron Bay and Bow and Arrow in Noosa Heads.
