Good bikini brand recommendations

I didn't think my search would be this hard so I'd really appreciate some help, really looking for specialist swimwear brands rather than high street I guess;

My budget is perhaps up to £80 for the set, although happy to spend less obviously, and I'm looking for a couple of sets.

I don't want underwired or padded tops, I'm only an A cup and a size 10. Bottoms need to be mid rise with a good covering! Hate string bikinis bottoms which tie at the sides.

Style wise, I'm looking more sporty or plain than glam, so plain colours, maybe spots or stripes. No beads or frills or bit metal clasps or palm tree or leopard prints!

I quite like this style bikini top and this sort of bottom coverage:

and a bandeau style with removable straps for sunbathing:

Have looked at Sweaty Betty and Sea Folly already.
TIA!

Heidi Klein, Eres, Melissa Odabash all good - look at the Outnet for bargains because they are Shock full price - you get great quality though.

Keep checking on the Outnet because they get new stock twice a week, Tuesday and one other day (more clued up posters will know - try MN Vogue thread) Smile

There's a flash sale on Melissa Odabash on the TKMAxx website at the mo - loads of stuff and very reasonably priced.

Also some on ASOS.

sorry - just had to link to photoshop fail - what is going on with this girl's boobs Smile?

I really like the moon tide reversible ones. Good quality and two for the price of one! The kink it's an Aussie brand.

Seafolly do lots of styles / colours and are good quality. You could probably get one for £80. Check out www.cocobay.co.uk

Thanks all - sleepwhenidie I had priced out Heidi, Eres and Melissa Odebash but forgot about The Outnet, I'll check there. Like the black LDR one, luckily I have normal shaped (but small) boobs so won't look as weird as the model!

elfofftheshelf wasn't keen on Seafolly, lots looked too structured but good quality I'm sure. thanks
