Pain de Sucre

Pain de Sucre is a French swimwear house with over 35 years of history designing some of the most beautiful and distinctive swimwear in the world. This is a brand that understands the French Riviera approach to dressing — effortlessly chic, never overdone, and always exquisitely made. The fabrics are exceptionally lightweight, which means they dry quickly, feel wonderful against the skin, don't restrict movement, and pack without a crease. It is swimwear designed for women who want to look their best without thinking too hard about it. We have stocked Pain de Sucre since we launched our very first swimwear collection at Caroline Randell, and it has been at the heart of our swimwear edit ever since.

Pain de Sucre has built its reputation on a small number of iconic shapes that it refines and recolours each season — and once you find your style, you tend to come back for it year after year. In swimsuits, the Sawyer, Capri, and Bonnie are perennial bestsellers, each with its own distinct character but sharing the same beautifully lightweight construction and impeccable fit. In bikinis, the Diva, the Tobago brief, the Donnier, and the Fabia underwired bikini are among our most loved styles — the Fabia in particular is exceptional for anyone who wants genuine support in a bikini without sacrificing elegance. Alongside the swimwear, the matching accessories are something we feel quite passionately about. Made from the same lightweight lycra as the swimwear, they slip on effortlessly over wet swimwear, don't crease, and pack brilliantly. The Petra multi-position jumpsuit is a particular favourite — incredibly simple to wear, stunning to look at, and the kind of piece that takes you from pool to lunch without a second thought.

Each has its own distinct silhouette but shares the same beautifully lightweight fabric construction that makes the brand so special. If you would like guidance on which style suits your shape best, we are always happy to advise.

What is the Pain de Sucre Fabia bikini?

The Fabia is an underwired bikini top from Pain de Sucre — and one of our particular favourites. It provides genuine support and structure without sacrificing the elegance and lightness that defines the brand. If you want a bikini that feels as well-engineered as a good bra but looks completely beautiful, the Fabia is our top recommendation. It arrives in new colourways each season and tends to sell quickly.

Does Pain de Sucre do matching accessories and cover-ups?

Yes — and they are a highlight of the collection. Pain de Sucre's matching accessories are made from the same lightweight lycra as the swimwear, which means they slip on effortlessly over wet swimwear, don't crease, and pack beautifully. The Petra multi-position jumpsuit is a particular favourite — deceptively simple to wear but strikingly chic, and versatile enough to wear from pool to lunch without changing. If you would like to know which accessories coordinate with the current swimwear colours, get in touch and we will help you put together a complete look.
