01 / Construction · the standard

A swimsuit is a technical garment.

Most printed swimwear unravels at the leg holes after six wears. We bar-tack the stress points, use four-needle elastic on the bindings, and bind the leg openings with the same fabric cut on the cross-grain so it stretches with the body. The same goes for the back closures and strap attachments.

Italian performance fabrics from Carvico, Eurojersey, and Sensitive. They hold shape through chlorine, salt water, and SPF. The atelier tests every fabric for shrinkage, dye-fastness, and recovery before cutting. Cheap fabric is the source of most of the problems in this category, and we will not use it.
