Description +
Mara Hoffman's Lucia Swimsuit is a strapless one-piece bathing suit with a mid-leg cut, moderate coverage, and features a U-wire at the center front, boning at the sides, a built-in bra for support, and a silicone band along the back to prevent sliding.
This special fabric was made in collaboration with PYRATEX. This PYRATEX Power 3 fabric mimics the functionality, retention and water absorption of fully synthetic swimwear without the use of polyester or nylon. The fabric is created by converting dissolved wood pulp from sustainably managed forests into versatile fiber using a low-toxicity solvent. During this process, 99.5% of chemicals are reused in a closed-loop system. Colorfastness is tested with both chlorine and saltwater.
