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.
