Protecting the Drape & Finish

To keep your one-piece looking pristine, always rinse it in cold water immediately after swimming—chlorine and salt are the enemies of Lycra. Hand wash with a gentle detergent, never wring it out, and lay it flat to dry in the shade. Avoid the dryer and direct sunlight; they’ll fade the color and break down the elastic fibers over time.

When packing for a trip, roll the suit instead of folding to prevent creases, and place it in a separate mesh bag to protect it from snags. I also advise my clients to rotate their swimwear—wearing the same suit every day will cause it to lose shape faster. With proper care, this piece will stay in your capsule wardrobe for years, maintaining its sculpted fit and rich color. Trust me, a little love goes a long way in keeping that ‘just bought’ feel.
