a little bit about us
Welcome
Lily and Bang Bang is the new place to buy binders in Australia. It is also home to Siouxsie Swim - sumptuous, supportive swimwear. You may even be lucky enough to snap up one of the very last Sue Rice Originals.
Lily Loves Colour

There are two of us working behind the scenes at Lily and Bang Bang, the lovely Lisa (aka Lily) and myself Adam (aka Bang Bang). We are super excited to launch our first binder! More to come - watch this space!
We are also excited the other masterpieces from the Sue Rice back-catalogue we are currently producing. And, of course, it is all beautifully made – in Sydney. Which, for us is pretty exciting, as sadly, so many labels are manufacturing offshore today. |
Lily and I aren’t newbies, we started out when the Australian textile and fashion industry was thriving, when talent was fostered, skills were valued and being ‘hands on’ was de rigueur for a designer. At its height the Rag Trade was a bustling hive of dynamic creativity and we were lucky enough to be there, drinking from the fountain of knowledge as we learnt our craft.
Beautiful shapes, flattering lines
and clever details are
only half the story
Having worked with many brilliant designers in our time, including the amazing Sue Rice (who really understood how to support a large bust and flatter any body shape) we know how to properly construct a swimsuit - which is a bit trickier than you might imagine. This is true for all bathing suits, not just those designed to fit a bigger bust.
Beautiful shapes, flattering lines and clever details are only half the story. Understanding the technical aspects like the right kind of support, the right kind of coverage and the right kind of fit are the essential ingredients when it comes to developing cossies that are not only stunning to look at but also truly comfortable to wear.

This is just the beginning of our new adventure. This is the plan. To produce swimwear and binders for all bodies, beautifully made, made to be beautiful. To produce locally - fanning the flame and helping to rekindle our industry. To journal our journey and, to have fun along the way.
You’re always welcome to stop by and see how things are travelling. We will be visiting all reputable social media sites (look for Siouxsie Swim and/or Lily and Bang Bang - you’re bound to find something) and can often be found loitering around the lily and bang bang website, especially the Captains log.
Just before we go, one more thing. Always be yourself. Always
Have Fun and Bye for Now Lily and Bang Bang xx
