Estrella Bikini Top

Cult Gaia - $76

This bandeau top relies on sharp, architectural boning at the side seams to maintain its rigid, sculptural shape against the torso. The wide, high-contrast saddle stripe creates a bold graphic line, while the optional straps provide structural flexibility for a cleaner, minimalist décolletage. It leans into the brand’s penchant for art-object construction, treating the swimwear as a deliberate exercise in geometry.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from a blend of polyamide, nylon, and elastane/spandex, all of which are petroleum-derived synthetic polymers. While these fibers provide the necessary elasticity and water resistance for swimwear, they lack breathability and pose a higher risk for chemical leaching and microplastic shedding during wear and laundering.
