Coconut bra

The coconut bra is a party top with two cups made from halves of real coconut shells, dark brown with light-coloured fibrous streaks.

It is worn as a halter neck: a thin brown cord runs up from the cups and ties at the neck, while the loose ends are tied at the back. Paired with a raffia skirt and a flower lei, you will be ready for a luau or beach party.

Is the coconut bra made from real coconut?

Yes, the cups of the coconut bra are made from real coconut. Choose this style if you want to show off the real shell instead of an imitation plastic cup.

• The two cups are made from halved coconut shells with a shiny, dark brown exterior.
• Lighter streaks and fibres run across the shell, showing that it is a real coconut.
• A thin, dark brown cord forms the halter neckband, which ties at the neck.
• Two short cords in the centre hold the shells together, while two loose ends tie at the back.
• The stated composition is 80% carbon and 20% polyester.
• The coconut bra is made by Boland.

The coconut bra in a tropical party look

The coconut bra has become a recognisable symbol of Hawaii and the tropics in party wear, along with a flower lei and a hula skirt. It is a playful party outfit rather than traditional Hawaiian clothing. This is precisely why you will immediately stand out at a luau or beach party with your chosen theme, even without a full costume.

Skirt, flowers and hair to complement your coconut bra

A raffia or grass skirt around the hips instantly makes the coconut bra recognisable as a hula outfit. Hang a flower lei around your neck and tuck a large flower behind your ear to bring the top and head together. Colours such as pink, yellow or orange stand out beautifully against the dark brown of the shells. If you want to wear something more, pair the bra with short denim shorts.

Order the coconut bra and bring a piece of the real tropics to your luau or beach party.
