Protecting the Drape & Finish

This one-piece is made to last, but only if you treat it right. I always hand-wash in cold water with a mild detergent—never wring it out, just press the water through with a towel. For chlorine or saltwater, rinse immediately after wear to prevent fabric breakdown. And when drying, lay it flat in the shade; direct sun can fade those rich jewel tones over time.

For packing, roll it tightly with your other resort pieces—it’s wrinkle-resistant but loves company. I keep a capsule of three swim pieces per trip, and this one is always the anchor. In your wardrobe, it doubles as a bodysuit for layering under blazers or with high-waisted skirts, so it earns its space. With proper care, it’ll hold its shape for years, making it a timeless investment in your resort edit.
