Japanese designer creates 'bikini jeans'

Japanese designer Sandra Tanimura has created bikini jeans.

Tanimura said that she began to manufacture the item of clothing - a combination of low cut jeans and a bikini - after hearing customers complain about their jeans slipping down.

"We specialise in making low-rise trousers and our customers wanted them to get even lower," she said. "It was very difficult meeting these demands without the trousers falling down. I came up with the idea of using the bikini strings to let the trousers hang really low without falling."

Bikini jeans are available to buy for around $88 (£48) from the Sanna's Ship website.
