Taking care of your swimwear properly makes a real difference to how long it lasts and how it looks over time.
Our fabric, Carvico Vita is built to hold its shape and colour through seasons of use, but like all high-quality fabrics it benefits from a little attention after each wear.

How to take care of your swimwear
- Hand wash in fresh cold water after each use.
- Avoid machine washing and chemical detergents, as they can affect the fabric over time. If you use a detergent, choose a gentle formula with no moisturisers.
- Rinse your swimwear thoroughly after contact with saltwater, chlorine, or sun cream. Lay flat to dry in the shade.
- Ensure your swimwear is completely dry before storage.
- Wash bright colours separately from similar colours to avoid colour transfer.
- Hot tubs and thermal spas expose swimwear to higher temperatures and chemicals than standard pools. Over time, this may affect colour and elasticity, especially with prolonged exposure to hot chlorinated water. If you use your swimwear in these environments, rinse in fresh cool water afterwards.
