Samba Top

$114

This bikini top is defined by its micro-gingham check and white crochet-edged triangular cups, offering a playful, homespun texture against the high-saturation lipstick red. The unpadded construction relies on the tension of the spaghetti straps and the scalloped trim to hold its shape, leaning into a nostalgic, sun-drenched aesthetic that feels lifted from a 1950s seaside postcard. Safety Rating: Lowest Analysis: The garment is composed primarily of polyester and polyamide, both petroleum-based synthetic fibers that offer poor breathability and high potential for microplastic shedding. The inclusion of spandex ensures stretch, but the overall plastic-heavy composition remains a concern for moisture management and long-term skin health.

Samba Bottom

$106

This bikini bottom leans into a classic Americana palette with its lipstick red and white gingham check. The silhouette is cut high on the hip with adjustable side-tie closures, finished with a subtle whipstitch trim along the waistband for a touch of texture. It’s a nostalgic nod to mid-century coastal style that keeps the fit minimal and athletic. Safety Rating: Lowest Analysis: This garment is constructed from a blend of polyester, polyamide, and spandex, all of which are petroleum-derived synthetic fibers. These materials lack natural breathability and carry a higher risk of chemical transfer and microplastic shedding during use.
