Long time local, Ant Verburgt opened up the first part of his online mail order fashion business in April this year with bikinisonline.com.au. No prizes for guessing what comprises this initial fashionwear range, the name says it all.

In fact Ant's background may pleasantly surprise a few people in his home town of Port Douglas.   It's probably not commonly known that he has qualifications in fashion design and has produced his own unique design portfolio.   He has mixed this design flair with his wide experience in retail fashion and his strong background in promotions and customer relations to produce a superb launch collection of swimwear for bikinisonline.com.au

Ant was originally born in Melbourne, fashion Capital of Australia but has lived and worked in the Port Douglas region for the last 8 years. He has a strong work ethic and is tireless in his efforts to scour the world to uncover the highest quality products to deliver his clientele the widest choice at the most realistic prices possible. He has developed a close working relationship with his manufacturer, and has input on design, models, photos and catalogue layouts.

He says "I was inspired to start this business when I identified the obvious niche in the market for high quality merchandise at advantageous prices. My aims and ambitions for the business are to supply a high quality product, while promoting the wonderful Port Douglas region". With this in mind he is determined to employ local staff, and to inject finances and resources back into the local economy.

He says "Many swimwear company's charge $75 and upwards for a top or bottom, whereas our most expensive bikini retails for less than $65, and less than $75 for a 3 piece outfit". His initial swimwear range concentrates exclusively on bikinis, one piece and 3 piece outfits. The products included in the catalogue have generally only been previously available in Europe and the U.S.A. All designs are manufactured to stringent design regulations laid down by bikinisonline.com.au, and are a minimum of 82% nylon and 18% Elastane Spandex

Ant says "We will be introducing new product lines and updating designs regularly. We are located online so the savings in operating costs can be passed on to the customer to ensure the best prices possible".

Ant summarises by saying "We have a strong focus on customer satisfaction, we offer free express delivery to Australia and New Zealand to our Anzac brothers ( and sisters )"
