Karmen Crochet Bikini Bottoms

This crochet bikini bottom sits high on the hip with a dense, opaque weave through the center and an open-work, lattice-style stitch at the waistband. The color-blocked palette of hot pink, lime, and aqua creates a saturated, retro-surf look that mimics vintage handmade swimwear. It is fully lined, providing the necessary structure to ensure the intricate knit holds its shape when wet.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed of 90% nylon and 10% elastane, this garment is entirely petroleum-based. These synthetic fibers offer low breathability and pose a risk for microplastic shedding during wash cycles, while the chemical dyes required for such vibrant color blocking introduce additional synthetic compounds against the skin.
