INFO
These heavyweight denim bikini bottoms are designed for fashion-forward individuals who embrace irony in their style. Unlike traditional swimwear, they are crafted from one of the heaviest materials available, combining the durability of denim with the breathability required for comfortable wear. Cotton, known for its absorbent and fast-drying properties, is also one of the few fabrics that can be cleaned dry.
The fixed side straps contain elastic inside the denim tubing, repurposed from recycled denim jeans' waistbands. The bikini bottom is lined with a small patch of silky cotton linen, repurposed from a vintage kimono, for added comfort. All seams are stitched together using nylon B49 thread, ensuring maximum durability and future modifiability. Bonded nylon is easily seam-ripped after years of heavy usage and abrasion.
Please note that while these panties do not stretch due to their organic cotton composition, the waistbands feature an elastic strip inside a denim tubing strap made from recycled denim jean waistbands, allowing them to fit a range of waist sizes. Additionally, the use of 316L stainless steel hardware and 100% organic cotton makes these bottoms suitable for extended hours in saltwater.

CLEANING & CARE
Hand wash with warm water and laundry soap; avoid rough abrasions against the fabric. Gently wring out the wet garment. Hang it up to air dry. Since the material is thick, it may take some time for the garment to dry completely. Store the damp garment in a warm, dry area until it is fully dry. Once dry, you can press and steam it if necessary. You can also use starch to stiffen the material if desired
STORAGE
When the garment is dry and ready to be set aside for storage, you have two options: folding or hanging. Hanging is the preferred choice as it allows the fibers to naturally align with gravity and stay in sync with each other. However, if you choose to fold, keep in mind that denim holds creases well but may require steaming or pressing to remove any wrinkles.
For archival storage, fold the garment into a desired, even-sized square that fits inside an airtight vacuum-sealed bag. Once sealed, store it in light-tight containers, making sure there are no objects that can puncture the bag.
When you're ready to remove the garment from archival storage, release the air slowly, allowing the fabric to expand naturally without any irritation. Once the fabric has stopped expanding with air, open the bag and remove the clothing to hang. Hanging will naturally allow the fibers to align with the pattern and drape correctly. From there, you can proceed with the cleaning and drying process to prepare the garment for use.
