I am so glad you like them. Some times it can be difficult to find an African print one-piece swimsuit let alone having the variety. Hope you manage to grab one of the African bathing suits for your holiday.

Fantastic!
I have seen a Beyonce wear a couple of these and I always wonder how I could get one too. I need to put new things into my beach vacation and I won’t mind trying out any of these African print swimwear. I think I will prefer the Ankara high waist bikini bottom.
I hope it fits and looks good on me!
