As temperatures drop and Canadians retreat indoors, Bathing Belle introduces its Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection — a refined series of swimwear crafted for the modern wellness-seeker, from cold plunges to saunas, hydrotherapy circuits, lane swimming, water workouts and après-spa lounging. This season, the Toronto-based label draws inspiration from a ritual that has long shaped its creative flow: the Bathing Belle team’s annual winter wellness field trip, where the team trades sewing machines for steam, cold dips, and a day of resetting together.
“Cold plunge and sauna season is in our rhythm,” says Danica Salajko, founder and designer of Bathing Belle. “It’s how we unwind, reconnect and return to what matters. We often create one-off designs just for that day, so it naturally becomes both our test lab and our reset button. This collection was developed with that in mind — practical, beautiful pieces made for indoor pools, water workouts, spa rituals and, of course, winter getaways.”
Every Bathing Belle suit is locally and responsibly made in Canada at the brand’s workshop in Toronto’s Roncesvalles neighbourhood. Bathing Belle also offers one year of free alterations — a rarity in the industry — allowing customers to adjust their suits after wearing them.
From Sauna Round to Social Hour
Our best-selling Peek-a-Boo One-Piece returns in a fresh colour pairing — a luminous Pascolo top met with a rich Zenith bottom. It’s joined by a sleek new interpretation: the one-shoulder Pascolo + Zenith monokini, a modern statement for cold plunge days and winter spa escapes. The Zenith Push-Up Underwire Top also makes its debut, with soft moulded cups that shape and enhance beautifully. Every piece is crafted from sustainable ECONYL® Lycra, blending performance, polish and a touch of glamour between rounds of heat therapy.
From Cold Plunge to Poolside
Standout pieces like the Graphite Wave High-Collar Sport Set and the Betty Short One Piece bring sleek functionality to cold plunges and water workouts, while the Bra Top One Piece reimagines fit and function for real bodies in motion. They capture the essence of contemporary indoor bathing culture, featuring chlorine-resistant fabrics for daily pool use and ECONYL® regenerated Lycra for sustainability and strength.
From Rush Hour to Riviera
Bathing Belle’s crinkle textured Lycra capsule introduces a figure-flattering, fully lined fabric that moves effortlessly with the body. Soft, strong and perfect for winter escapes. Offered in Morocco, Olive and Navy, these suits reflect the season’s jewel-toned calm while delivering runway-worthy sophistication. Designed for travellers chasing warmth, these styles transition seamlessly from pool to resort to street, pairing beautifully with a wrap or cover-up for understated elegance.
Midnight Reef Brings Timeless Fit to Every Generation
The Midnight Reef series reflects Bathing Belle’s commitment to inclusive, multi-generational fit. Featuring a modern A-line swim dress, a tankini and a classic one-piece, the collection’s deep-ocean print and fluid lines bring ease and confidence to every body. Designed for spa days, water fitness or resort travel, Midnight Reef proves that thoughtful design never goes out of style.
“Our clients love that they can come in, try on styles and we’ll tailor them right there,” says Salajko. “We tell them, let us dress you, and they’re often delighted by a shape they may not have considered. For us, swimwear isn’t about perfection — it’s about pleasure, confidence and the ritual of feeling good in your own skin. And for online clients, we offer both ready-made styles and custom sizing from afar.”
As cold plunges, saunas and wellness culture continue to rise during the winter months, Bathing Belle stands out as a brand that not only designs for the moment — it lives it. The result is a collection that’s beautifully practical, quietly sensual and deeply rooted in the rhythms of real life.
