Care Guide
Proper care helps protect the colour, shape and elasticity of your swimwear.
Rinse immediately
After every swim, rinse thoroughly in cool water to remove chlorine, salt, sand and sunscreen.
Wash by hand
Use cool or lukewarm water with a small amount of mild detergent. Do not soak for long periods.
Dry naturally
Gently press out excess water without wringing, then dry flat in the shade. Avoid the dryer and direct heat.
Protect the fabric
Avoid bleach, fabric softener and ironing. Sit on a towel to protect the fabric from rough surfaces.

How to take your measurements
Measure your underbust
Place the tape measure directly under your bust. Keep it horizontal and snug against your body, without pulling it too tight.
Measure your bust
Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, without compressing your breasts.
Measure your waist
Place the tape measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, without sucking in your stomach.
Measure your hips
Measure the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape measure horizontal.

Choosing by style
Bandeau top
The back band must be firm enough to keep the top securely in place, even when straps are removed.
Full-coverage top
Choose a cup that fully encloses the bust without spilling over. This cut is particularly suitable for deeper cup sizes.
Plunging top
Check that the bust stays centered and the edge of the cup does not cut into your curves.
Triangle top
Adjustable ties make it easy to customize the fit. Use your bust measurement as your main reference.
Tankini
Choose the top according to your bra size and the bottom according to your hip measurement.
One-piece swimsuit
Use the measurement corresponding to the fullest part of your figure and take torso length into account.
High-waisted bottom
Compare your waist and hip measurements. Choose the size corresponding to the largest measurement.
Regular or high-leg bottom
Use your hip measurement primarily, then choose the desired level of coverage.
