Tue Feb 16 2010Friendly helpful staff here. Good selection of swimsuits in various sizes. Nice accessories! A little on the high end of the price scale.

Sun Feb 22 2009I am retracting my previous negative comment about Popina, after returning to the shop today to purchase another swimsuit. The owner (I believe) was gracious enough to give me a replacement bikini bottom and discussed the issues she faces with trying to find material that can withstand the effects of chlorine better. After searching for swimsuits in other stores, I cannot find any that are as flattering and beautiful as these suits.

Sat Feb 14 2009I ordered one of the one pieces online. AMAZING! This is the best I've felt about wearing a bathing suit in years. Last year I had a baby and my body looks really rough...this suite makes it ravishing. I'm going to spread the news to all my mommy friends down here in Austin, TX!!!

Wed Aug 27 2008I had spent a harrowing day trying to get ready for my upcoming Caribbean trip. The suit I received from Land's End the night before was frumpy. I tried on the five that were my size at Nordstrom and Macy's. They were all about trying to look like a Barbie in a swimsuit. They were boring and expensive. I wanted something that said "I am here to have a good time and l just happen to look good doing it" My husband, always the helpful guy, found Popina (aka Poppi) online and sent me straight from the mall to the cute boutique space. I walked in the door, saw the unique fabrics and knew that so long as they weren't trying to fit thimbles, I would find my suit there. Candace was super helpful and made me feel like my womanly figure was no problem at all to fit. I tried on over 15 suits that she brought me! We had fun, she was honest about what looked good and when I needed to try the bigger or smaller size. She even insisted I'm not chubby but rather voluptuous. The beauty of Po... Read more

Thu Oct 18 2007For someone who is "body conscious" I must say that I will never buy a bathing suit anywhere else. The suits are adorable, and they were able to make the style in the specific color I wanted. The environment was so great that I came out into the store from the dressing room to show the associate how I looked in the suit. I want to thank this shop for making the first suit I've ever felt cute in.

Sun Aug 19 2007Just wanted to say THANK YOU! My hub and I came to your store yesterday and it is WONDERFUL. The young woman working was incredibly helpful, friendly, and patient. After swimsuit shopping for a month now (because I didn't know about you!), I was afraid I was NEVER going to find what I wanted. Then my husband "googled" old-fashioned swimsuits and found you! I would have been THRILLED to find one suit I loved! I was BOGGLED to find five or six and not be able to decide! I love my new "Shirley" suit. I went with the orange/pink and will be ordering a black one very shortly as well. YOU ROCK and I'll be telling everyone I know to come and see you!

Mon Jun 11 2007You'll find the coolest swimsuits around at this great little boutique. The retro styles are flattering and fun, and if something doesn't fit just right it can be customized! I found the perfect little two piece suit here and can't wait to go back for a one piece!

Sat Jan 27 2007Buying a bathing suit can be a painful and depressing experience. Poppi Swim and Sport makes it fun. The retro inspired bathing suits can be custom made to fit your body type, and you can choose from a wide assortment of patterns and colors. I was impressed with the woman who helped me choose a bikini style. I wanted some modifications: I am petite, but a 34DD. I had my halter top custom made. The price was quite reasonable: the top was about $20, and the cost to have it custom made was about the same. I have introduced several friends to Poppi, and each time I bring one, I find another bathing suit to buy. Here is the two cents of the friend I took today: OK, I am a self-avowed swimsuit freak. I even like suits with cutouts and rhinestones! I prefer two piece suits to one piece suits, as I have an extremely long torso. I'm small on top (32B) and small to medium in the hip region. I ended up with a bottom that was low-waisted, boy cut short, but which gathers on the side, so you can... Read more

Sun Jul 09 2006Every single suit in the shop is stylishly retro and made to cover a real womans butt. And if you dont find one that fits, theyll custom make one for you! At a very reasonable price, I might addtotally in line with what you would pay at a department store, but made locally instead of by serfs in China. In fact, the suits are very, very locally made. As I was trying on suits the owner, Pamela, was clacking merrily away on a sewing machine, seaming up a top.
