Accomplished in the best traditions of the pastoral theme, this amaziing two-piece swimsuit features a triangular halter top and a bikini bottom.
The Agua Bendita designers succeeded in capturing the unforgetable charm of careless countryside life by skillfully combining two types of fabrics: the fairy tale and lively looking nature print and the bright pink shepherd’s checks print.
The swimsuit is abundant in small but pleasing to the eye details. Our favorite are the floral and dot ribbons decorating the top and resembling the toggle fastening.

A small style history note: this type of fastening was originally commonly used on thick duffel wool coats worn by shepherds and sailors, but here it serves more of a decorative and playful purpose adding a rustic, down to earth touch to the piece. Each faux ribbon fastening is adorned with two tiny green buttons enhancing the illusion of a toggle closure.

A very unique in design and innocently flirtatious element of the bikini bottom is the heart shaped back featuring the bright pink checks print and decorated with frills done in yet smaller checks print fabric.

And finally, the gorgeous pear shaped pearl and ribbon decorations which adorn both the triangle top and bikini bottom complete the look of a chic countryside charm.
