FAQs

What material is the swimsuit made of?

The swimsuit is composed of 85% polyamide and 15% elastane, providing a stretchy and comfortable fit.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The triangle top has tie fastenings at the back, and the high-cut briefs have tie fastenings at the sides. Adjust these ties to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit for your body.

Can I wear this for swimming?

Yes, the swimsuit is designed for wear in and out of the water. However, it's recommended to rinse it thoroughly with cold water after exposure to chlorine or saltwater to preserve the fabric and embellishments.

How should I clean the swimsuit?

It must be hand washed only in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring or twist, and dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is the significance of the 'Chaînes' pattern?

The 'Chaînes' pattern is an iconic Balmain motif featuring interlaced chain detailing, a signature element of the brand that adds a luxurious and distinctive aesthetic to the swimwear.

Does the swimsuit come with removable padding?

The product description does not mention removable padding; however, it is fully lined for opacity and a smooth finish.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Given the adjustable tie fastenings, you may have some flexibility. Consider your preferred coverage level and consult the model's measurements (179 cm wearing size 36) for guidance.

Troubleshooting

Ties are difficult to adjust or secure

Ensure the ties are not knotted too tightly before adjustment. If they feel stiff, gently loosen them by hand. The fabric may become more pliable after a gentle rinse.

Chain embellishments feel uncomfortable

Ensure the chains are lying flat against the fabric and are not twisted. The high-cut brief design and adjustable ties should allow for repositioning to find the most comfortable fit.

Color fading after washing

Confirm that only cold water and mild detergent were used for hand washing. Avoid direct sunlight during drying, as UV rays can cause fading. Ensure the garment was not exposed to harsh chemicals prior to washing.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the delicate chain embellishments, always hand wash this swimsuit in cold water.
  • Mild Detergent: Use a small amount of mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all detergent is rinsed out.
  • Do Not Wring or Twist: Gently squeeze out excess water.
  • Dry Flat: Lay the swimsuit flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the fabric.
  • Avoid Chlorine and Saltwater: While designed for beach and pool, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals in chlorinated pools or salt can degrade materials over time. Rinse thoroughly after each use.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
