The Galena. She's sassy, bad-assy, and perfect for the pool or a night out. Don't let her be the one that got away.
Hey You.
When Strange Bikinis owner and designer Ali Conway started Strange Bikinis, she did so with the sole purpose of inclusion. Sure, you see it everywhere today in companies like Nike, LuluLemon, Alo Yoga, and even couture fashions labels such as Stella Mcartney and Marc Jacobs are riding the inclusive bandwagon (let’s be clear the more companies that adopt this practice the better), all we are saying is that we have been doing it since day one! When is day one you ask? Spring 2012. Yep, we have been making sassy little bikinis for babes who want to wear cheeky bikinis. Slowly but surely we are making the beaches cheekier and we love it!
Bikini Shopping
We are a small business based out of Reno, NV but we have excellent news for you. We ship worldwide! Yep, bikini shop from your phone. However, we are super pumped about our brand new brick and mortar retail bikini shop in Santa Cruz, California. Bay area babes we can’t wait to see you. We also have a brick and mortar in Reno, NV. Bikini shopping in person has never been better. Our staff is the friendliest and honestly, you will leave feeling amazing. We can’t wait to meet you.
More bikini shopping info
If you're just finding Strange Bikinis now, then you probably don’t know that Ali started this business out of her in-laws home. She used to hand sew each and every bikini. It was a “made to order” type operation. Now you can bikini shop our beautiful collections designed by Ali, but produced by our small batch factory in San Francisco, California. Each collection has limited quantities to provide the utmost quality product we can achieve. However, if you’re in the mood for a custom bikini or one piece we have something for you too.
Custom Bikini
You can still shop online for custom swimwear. Simply follow the link at the bottom. If you are in the Reno/Tahoe area and would like to come to our retail store you can also book a custom fitting appointment. This gives you the opportunity to meet Ali and go over what your dream bikini looks like. You get to pick from one of a kind fabrics and discuss bikini fit and sizing.
Real Women in Bikinis
To us a real woman is someone who is comfortable in her own skin. She feels free to be herself and be confident in who she is plus she puts adventure first. Whether it’s having spring break in Bali, swimming under waterfalls in Hawaii, dancing at music festivals, or hiking in Costa Rica, or ordering a cocktail from a spa apres ski in Aspen (she orders over, not up), she’s there to be herself and do whatever the hell she wants. A real woman can be plus size, she can be thin, she can be anywhere in between, all that matters is her view of herself, what makes her real is her genuine passion for life and living it to the fullest.
We want your bikini shopping experience with Strange Bikinis to reflect your authenticity and to celebrate you and everything you love. Whether that’s wearing coverups to find tacos after a long day at the beach or rocking your yellow polka dot ‘kini in the hot tub-- we’re there for you and we’re all about it. In fact, can we join you?
Finding the Best Bikini for Your Body Type
We’re just going to start off by saying this, the best swimsuit for your body type is one that makes you feel best. All of the arbitrary rules that we’ve seen over the years saying things like “you can’t wear a bandeau bikini tops if you’re a DDD bra size” or “you can’t mix and match colors if you have a long torso” are so outdated. Really, who made these rules? The new rule is that we define what looks good for us! You can totally rock high waisted bikini bottoms if you’re petite and being plus size is all the more reason to wear a string bikini top.
Highlight the things you love about yourself and forget about the rest. If you love your bum, show it off with cheeky bikini bottoms! If you want to cover up, we’re here for that too. We have full coverage bikinis like the El Capitan Bikini Bottoms. Bikini shopping can be hard, but our ultra flattering suits are there to hug every curve and show off your favorite assets. A real woman dresses for herself and picks clothing that shows off who she is!
Wearing a Swimsuit Off The Beach
There are so many ways to bring your swimwear from the beach to everyday life! The Retro Palm print Galena one piece is one of our favorite suits to wear as a bodysuit with a cute skirt and some accessories, wear her to brunch or to a party! We love wearing our bikini tops under dresses, tops, and jumpers or as lightweight sports bras. All of our one piece suits and bikini tops are great for yoga or as loungewear. We love wearing our best-selling 2018 Arancia bikini top (it’s on sale!) under a sweater watching Netflix.
What is the Strange Difference?
When you order from Strange Bikinis, you’re ordering from real people. Unlike some huge corporations, we put our hands on every single item. When we’re shipping your orders we check every bikini to make sure it’s perfect for you, wrap it in bikini print tissue paper, and write notes to you telling you how much we love and appreciate you. We’re like your dream person but actually we’re better because we won’t steal the covers at night! The women who work at Strange Bikinis truly love swimwear and are the biggest Strange fans of all.
Most of us who work here have at least three sets and nothing makes us more excited than when we get to see the newest bikinis because we know just how much you’re going to love them too. Like we’ve said before, bikini shopping can be tricky! We’ve seen that a lot of women have life long insecurities they’re working on overcoming (you’re not alone if you have one) so we’ve created a community that’s there to lift you up and celebrate the real you! When you shop with us, we will do everything we can to help you feel your best and we welcome you as a Stranger! We think you’re going to love it here.

Just by scrolling down this far I know you are interested in more details about Strange Bikinis and we would personally like to thank you for doing so! Bikini shopping online can be quite daunting. Bikinis shopping in person isn’t easy either, but rest assured Strange Bikinis has created high end designer swimwear with sustainability in mind.
This top is so comfortable and the cross tie back gives added cuteness and support. I’m a DD and got an XL. Love the style , got in wild thing fabric and paired with semi cheeky bottoms. Favorite bikini!
These bottoms are simply the BEST! The fit is amazing (cheeky but not too cheeky) and the fabric is lovely. I feel so confident in them!

This suit is the cutest I have ever owned!! I have long legs and a short torso, with a bubble butt so this little number hugs all the right places and even gives me the *appearance* of cleavage. I am in love! I have never felt so confident in any piece of clothing as I do in this cute little piece. It is fun, flirty, feminine, AND doesn’t ride up in the back. Give me one in every color!
This suit was all my hopes and dreams wrapped up in a luxurious soft fabric. I like to swim, kayak and have a great time in the water. This suit is flattering on everyone that I have seen it on! I have a very short torso for someone who is 5'2" and wear a c cup. The range of body types for each size is awesome! Also makes for great tan/burn lines.
This top is exquisite. It's full support, great coverage for active living, and so stinkin' cute! I got it in black ribbed/retro palm and am absolutely in love. I wore it kayaking the other day with some friends and I've never felt so cute while getting so sweaty. I also love that even though it's got intricate detail on the back, it's so easy to tie yourself -- I've had bikinis before that were impossible to put on and get untwisted without help, and as an independent woman, that doesn't stand with me. Not this one! I have a feeling I'll be living in it this summer!
Love these semi cheeky bottoms. The cutest cut and that shows just enough booty. I get sooo many compliments. Great fiit, comfortable, and so flattering. Bought in wild thing and rubbed Sand ❤️ I’m a true 6 and bought M. Paired with the bandeau top and the triangle top!💕
I love the material and all the details. Super soft and comfy. Love the support as well . I can’t wait to show it off 😀
The magical unicorn swimsuit of your dreams!
I had wanted a Strange Bikinis swimsuit for so long and decided to spoil myself and buy one for my recent birthday. Everything about it exceeded my expectations! I purchased the one piece Galena suit and IT IS AMAZING! The suit itself is silky soft and fits like a dream. The quality is apparent and there are no shortcomings for comfort. I feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident for the very first time in a swimsuit. It's perfect. Thank you Strange Bikinis!

I'm so in love with this brand! And this bikini fits like a glove! I got it in sand harbor & plumb lane!

They were so comfortable and made my butt look amazing!
I bought this top purely with the intent to workout in it... and I put it to the test this morning. I love it. Not only is it gorgeous, the reversible pattern is to die for, it’s super soft... it passed the workout test. I’m sure it’ll be great in the water too... but I definitely love this new addition 😍
I have the Ranger set in Plumb Lane, and it is so perfect. I’m 5’8”, 34c, size 4 in pants with an athletic build and I got mediums for top and bottom. This suit is so comfortable, and I love the laser details.
I love this top. It fits like a glove and the ribbing is incredibly flattering. It makes me feel protected from the sun and sexy! The details are precise and well thought out. The stitching on the reverse side is darling and matches the rest of the top. I would highly recommend the Incline top, it is great for keeping cool on hot days once wet! It was a great relief on a hot long hike, I was nice and cool😎 This top is versatile for watersports and for a day by the pool. The Incline top is very stylish and pairs well with the previous years styles and color schemes! Overall a terrific suit, that fits well, can take a beating ( if you care for it properly) and can go anywhere!
Fun time with Ashley, she helped me explore different styles, and colors. Each bikini is soft, comfortable and I look great. Thank you for your help!
Strange bikinis employees and the bikinis themselves always go the extra mile to make sure you feel beautiful and comfortable in your bikini! Most, if not all suits are reversible; two suits in one. Can’t beat that!
Not to mention how soft they are!
I always keep a strange bikini in my car!
Fits perfectly without squishing my body in odd ways. I also love that I can wear the lacing in the front or back. I wear this when I'm feeling great, and when I'm feeling a little bloated for that extra coverage.
To be honest, I really didn't know what to expect with a one piece bathing suit - living in a two piece world :) This one takes the cake! When Strange Bikini's had their one piece sale, I thought I'd give it a go - something for paddleboarding, and something comfortable. and OH MY GOSH! The plumb lane color - amazing - the fit... amazing. I am 5'6" and 34D and usually wear 6 pants and I ordered a small. FITS LIKE A DAMN GLOVE! This bathing suit exceeded all my expectations. The fabric is so soft and was not too cheeky on me too! My husband also really really likes it!
Flattering fit! The adjustable straps allow me to tailor the fit depending on the occasion. My booty cheeks look great, and this is my first time with a cheeky suit. I’m glad I made this purchase! Strange is Savage!
I absolutely fell IN LOVE with this bathing suit! I originally ordered the French frolic but exchanged for this beauty! I have a longer torso and large buns so I felt more comfortable in the galena. The fabric is so soft and feels incredible. I can’t wait to wear this everywhere!!
I’m 5’10” 165 and got a L :)
I purchased this suit during their memorial day monokini sale, as I have several other bikini pieces from them but none of their one pieces. I originally wasn’t interested in this frolic French cut suit and wasn’t planning on trying it on. I tried on all of their monokini styles (with the employees encouraging me to try something new), and funny enough ended up choosing the one that I was convinced I wasn’t going to like. The girls in the shop are friendly and gave me the push I needed to purchase some thing a little bit out of my comfort zone (high cut sides and low cut chest). Overall, I am ridiculously excited to wear this suit!
Just received my first one piece and it is amazing all the way around, super comfy & makes you feel badass! I am 5"3" 155 pounds and the medium fits perfect! I've been buying from this company for the past 4 year's and I'll never go back hands down my favorite bikinis!
I’ve been dreaming about a Strange Bikini for a long time and I was SO excited when I got this one! It is incredibly soft and I love the color. My hubby is not at all upset about how gorgeous this suit is on! Love this company! Love this suit!
This is the SOFEST suit I’ve ever owned. I chose the black ribbed fabric and I’m obsessed. Thank you Ali!!!! I’m 5’3 and small cheated- I bought a Small!
Beyond in love with these super soft booty forming bottoms. I love wearing these to the beach on on boat days, plus the biodegradable material makes me feel great about this purchase🌞🧡
The must delicious, buttery fabric. And they fit beautifully of course. I initially was wanting bottoms with more “cover up” bc another bikini set I have is full on ass exposure, but these are so beautiful and sexy and chic in all ways that I accept my ass-bearing destiny
<3 thank you!
I’m in love with this top. Perfect for avid swimmers, yoga, hiking, and even as a top paired with a cute skirt! Holds everything in place. 👌🏻
I flippin’ love this suit. I’ve been dreaming of a strange one piece for days on end! Finally i jumped and bought one!! I do need to bring it in to Ali to add a connecting piece in the back cause your girl has big ol Tatas! But I love this brand, who they stand for, and I feel fire in every suit I own!
I’m 5’3 bought a medium suit. I’m a 34 DDD. Fits amazing everywhere but do feel a smidge of a should slip. 👏🏼
Y'all this top is great. I'm a 34b/c and the small is spot on. The standard place where it was tied was already perfect. The front is very supportive and clean looking. I've been using it as a bra top for yardwork. It's a perfect business sass in the front and party in the back. I was wearing it with my hitchhikers and did have to trim the dangle straps. I kept pinching them with my booty 😂
This is was my first strange swimsuit and won’t be my last!!! I love everything about it and it was perfect fit! I feel confident, love the material and the quality is like non other!!!
This is my second strange bikini. The fit is so flattering and the fabric is so soft! Love that it is reversible so I get two swimsuits in one! Great quality swimwear that is so comfortable to wear!
