Surf and swimwear label Bather returns for the Spring/Summer 2018 season with a range full of abstract tropical swim apparel. Following its resort capsule launch in December, the latest seasonal pieces also celebrate Bather's fifth anniversary. The nautical and abstract theme arrives just in time for the warm months upon us. All of the pieces are manufactured in Toronto and start at the price of $83 USD.
The new collection features ten new designs, with seven of the styles available in two colorways. All of the pieces are available in either Bather's signature Swim Trunk cut style with a 5.5" inseam detail or the Surf Trunk with a 6.5' inseam. The Swim Trunks are constructed from completely custom woven and dyed quick-dry polyester materials.
