KULANI KINI Gathered Mini Crop Bikini Top
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Sports-Bra Ease, Bikini-Top Style
The Gathered Mini Crop Bikini Top from Kulani Kinis delivers the relaxed confidence of a sports bra with the feminine detail of a true bikini style. A soft scoop neckline opens the neckline cleanly, while delicate centre-front ruching draws the fabric to a gathered focal point that flatters the bust and creates gentle definition without structured underwire.
Shoulder straps are fully adjustable for a dialled-in fit, and the back closes with a brushed gold branded clasp that adds a polished finish. The silhouette sits as a cropped mini top, shorter than a traditional bandeau, with light coverage and cup support -- a versatile choice for the pool, the beach, or the boat deck.
RE-KINI Shimmer Fabric
This top is cut from Kulani Kinis' RE-KINI Shimmer, a fabric the brand built from recycled plastic bottles. The composition is 80% recycled nylon and 20% elastane. The result is buttery-soft with a subtle shimmer and glossy luminosity in natural light -- a finish that reads as elevated poolside rather than athletic.
The high elastane content gives the fabric genuine stretch-and-recover, so the ruching stays put and the straps maintain their set length through active wear. RE-KINI Shimmer is chlorine-resistant by category; the care guidelines below will preserve its hand-feel and sheen season after season.

Care Instructions
To preserve the RE-KINI Shimmer fabric and the brushed gold hardware, follow these steps after every wear:
- Hand wash in cold water -- preferred method
- Machine wash only on a gentle cycle inside a delicates bag
- Do not soak or bleach
- Line dry or lay flat in a shaded area -- some shades may fade in prolonged direct sunlight
- Remove excess water promptly; do not pack while wet as some shades may transfer
- Do not dry clean, iron, or tumble dry, even on a gentle cycle, as heat and agitation can damage or distort the fabric
