On sale the Tan Zip One Piece by Ark Swimwear.
Ark Swimwear’s Tan Zip Swimsuit When to wear our Zip Swimsuit Our Tan Zip Up One Piece is for your sophisticated moments, or for your active days. It’s for when you’re poolside, with friends and family, or for your everyday swimsuit look. It’s the bikini for that European trip, sipping your lemon-infused mineral water, basking on your sunbed. It’s for the yacht days, the pool parties, or for your motherhood days swimming with your little one when you want the fit. How this bikini style feels Our Zip feels incredible on the skin because there is no exposed stitching. This swimsuit is constructed with hidden seams. This means that there’s less friction on the skin, which gives a beautifully soft sensation on the body. It feels like a second skin, the best bikini to wear from day to night. Trying it on When it gets wet for the first time, the fabric will loosen, so keep that in mind – you’ll want it to be tight when new, so that it fits perfectly once worn wet a few times. After the first 3 wears wet, it will mould to your body and then keep its shape for years. Fabric Our fabric is the most luxe-to-touch on the market. It has a silk-like feeling, that we’ve complemented with our hidden seams to give the most amazing feeling on the skin; you’ll be one of those people that can spend all day in your bikini, if you don’t already. Construction Process The hidden seams can only be created by a highly skilled machinist, with each piece made “inside-out”, and only turned the right way just before completion. We take our time sewing the pieces together, as the silk-like feeling of our fabric causes the pieces to slide against each other as we feed it through the sewing machine’s pressure foot. These are a few of the reasons you don’t find seamless swimwear in such small cuts on the market. Turning them inside-out with such narrow sides and bands takes a lot of care and time. Fabric Treatments Our fabrics have several treatments run through them, including softener, colourfastness, UV protection and anti-yellowing (ever noticed your cheap white tees go yellow?). The lasting of these treatments depends on the fabric’s exposure to non-pH neutral substances. Caring for your Swimwear For longevity and to keep all these treatments, we recommend washing with pH neutral detergents (the one you’re most likely to have on hand is dishwashing detergent), ensuring that you give them a thorough rinse. Chlorine pools aren’t always maintained at a neutral pH level, so if you’re able, wash them as soon as possible, and next best case, rinse thoroughly under the shower to dilute as much chlorine as possible. Colour Take your swimwear outside! The fabric and colour look different in direct sunlight, shade and artificial light. We have chosen each colour while under direct sunlight and matching it up against different skin tones. Swimwear is made to be worn outside, so take it there, put it against your own skin, and see how it looks and feels.
