Every summer, itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikinis crop on racks everywhere to remind us of dreaded swim season.

We love Toronto-based designer Leilanni Todd, for her hand-crafted and affordable wears, but mostly, we’re really into the laid-back attitude and style of her clothes. A fresh new take on the basics, her wears are the type you want in every colour.

Todd has been working alongside other designers for years, and ventured out on her own two years ago.

Her styles are undeniably cute, and can be made-to-order with your exact measurements, which is a pretty sweet deal for custom-made threads.
