Bikini Top - Gathered - Lime
Description
Gathered Top in Lime — a balconette-style bikini top with low-cut cups, underwires, and adjustable straps for a customizable fit. The tied back design offers medium support and coverage, equally suited to active water days or relaxed poolside moments. This double-lined top features a lightweight, stretchy fabric with a shimmery finish that deepens beautifully when wet. Softer and more fluid than other swimwear fabrics, it moves with you. Designed in Helsinki, woven in Bergamo, and produced in Guimarães — sustainable craftsmanship from concept to completion.
Adjustable straps, ties in the back
caring for swimwear
hand wash or wash 30°C max. make sure to dry in the shade. do not tumble dry. do not iron. you can greatly extend the life of swimwear products by washing it as little as possible. for light soiling, you can also wash it only selectively. use a fabric bag to keep your items from breaking because of zippers.
what is recycled polyester?
most often recycled polyester is made out of industrial waste or post-consumer plastics like PET bottles. turning PET bottles into clothing means grinding, melting and extruding new fibers.
why love recycled polyester?
taking what is already there and giving it new life is super cool already - but recycled polyester is also super versatile! from waterproof bags to silky smooth fabrics you can do so many things.
recycled polyester production
producing recycled polyester uses up to 90% less water than regular polyester. still you have to be careful and only choose certified recycled fabrics. we think there are pros and cons with this fabric. the main pro arguments: keeping plastic away from landfills and the ocean and a waterproof and stretchy fabric - just like polyester, but uses less energy to make. still, recycling has its boundaries and recycling uses a lot of energy too. also, recycled polyester can still release micro plastics.
