About MeThis purple bikini has a white trim along the top of the bust and at the sides of the briefs.

The bikini top fastens at the back with a plastic clip.

The label states that this bikini must be washed after use. This is because elastane deteriorates when it comes in to contact with the chlorine in swimming pools.
