Forever Young Triangle: Triangle bikini with a red tartan print and black

Main fabric: 82% polyester, 18% elastane

Lining: 82% polyamide, 18% elastane

Polyester holds sharp contrast especially well, which matters with a check pattern: the crossing lines have to stay crisp, or the tartan loses its structure. The polyamide lining ensures a soft, opaque fit.

• Rinse with cold, clear water soon after wearing
• Hand-wash with a mild detergent for delicates, no warmer than 30°C
• Press out gently, don’t wring
• Important with check patterns: dry the bikini laid out flat and straight, never skewed or distorted. A check reacts more sensitively to distortion than an irregular pattern, because the eye immediately registers the lines as crooked
• Always dry in the shade
• Keep the black metal elements away from perfume and sun oil
• No tumble dryer, no iron

The Forever Young Triangle is handcrafted in Italy. Tartan is the most demanding pattern of all to cut: the lines have to meet exactly at every seam, horizontally and vertically. An offset of a few millimeters is immediately visible on a check, whereas on an irregular print nobody would notice the same thing.
