Early last year, directors Mark and Karen Townrow visited Bali where Mrs Townrow found 69SLAM swimwear and “fell in love”.

She believed many Aussies were looking for swimwear that suited their body type without being boring or plain and decided to bring the brand home.

They opened the flagship store at Westfield Whitford City shopping centre late last year, which has since been relocated to Mandurah Forum, as well as an online store at www.69slam.com.au.
