Pair of both tops from same first collection of swimwear separates and suits by Shoshanna in 2001. Selling together. Gently preowned in very good to excellent condition. The fashion industry owner- loves swimwear and has dozens of swimsuits and wore these at most a couple of times. They look really cute as accents under clothing on hot city days, as well.

Shoshanna offered its iconic rainbow and heart-patterned triangle bikini tops as part of its inaugural swimwear collection in 2001. 
This specific design, which featured multicolored heart prints often associated with a "rainbow" aesthetic, was one of the signature styles that helped the brand gain immediate popularity following its spring launch that year. 
* Initial Launch: The swimwear line debuted in February 2001, introducing the concept of selling tops and bottoms as separates with bra-style sizing.
* Pop Culture Impact: While the "cherry print" from this same 2001 collection became the brand's most famous due to its appearance on Sex and the City, the heart and rainbow patterns were early staples of the brand's "whimsical" and "bold" aesthetic.
* Vintage Status: Original pieces from this era, specifically the "multi-colored heart string bikini," are now considered rare vintage collector's items. 

The Shoshanna brand, known for its popular swimwear, was founded in 1998 by Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, initially focusing on dresses, with the distinct swimwear line launching a few years later, around 2001, to cater to various body types. 
Key details:
* Brand Launch: The overall Shoshanna clothing line started in 1998.
* Swimwear Debut: Shoshanna launched its dedicated swimwear collection in 2001, emphasizing separate tops and bottoms and bra-cup sizing for a better fit.
* Mission: Shoshanna aimed to design fashion that flattered different body types, filling a gap in the market for shapely women.
