Women's Solid Kupala Triangle Bikini Top

Proof that a supportive bikini top doesn't have to look boring and unfashionable.

Case in point. Patagonia's Solid Kupala Triangle Bikini Top demonstrates that providing the kind of support you need for actually surfing, swimming or paddling can be feminine and flattering at the same time. This small-coverage top has secure crossover ties in the back that are designed to sit farther away from your neck and shoulders so your arms are freed up to paddle out strong past the break. Soft, removable, side-entry cups provide added shape and comfort, while an underbust elastic band adds greater support. And on top of all that, fabric that incorporates as much recycled nylon as possible in order to lessen our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source and cause less air, water and soil contamination.

5.4oz. 83% recycled nylon/17% spandex jersey body fabric; 4oz. 88% nylon/12% spandex jersey lining. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn. Imported.

Fair Trade Certified™ Sewing

What makes a factory Fair Trade Certified? Rigorous standards for health and safety, respect for the environment, no child or forced labor, maternity and paid leave, community empowerment and additional money back to workers. Patagonia pays a premium for every Fair Trade Certified item that carries their label. That extra money goes directly back to the factory workers, and they decide how to spend it. They can allocate it as a cash bonus, use it for a collective social investment or both.
