Thoughtfully designed to be worn season after season, we have chosen our Bad N Bare fabric for it's perfect combination of softness and resiliency. To keep your Bad N Bare pieces in pristine condition, please follow our care instructions listed below.
care instructions
Swimwear
Tip No. 1
Wash your suit in fresh cold water with a gentle cleanser as soon as possible after wearing. Ideally, soak your suit in a bowl or the sink for at least for 20 minutes before adding a small cap full of a gentle hand soap that contains no moisturizers, or a gentle detergent specifically formulated for fabrics with a high spandex content. Gently work the soapy water through the entire suit and make sure to rinse thoroughly in cold water until all soap is gone.
Tip No. 2
Lay your suit flat to dry in the shade on a towel and use caution to never ring out the fabric or hang it, which could cause stretching and wear to the delicate fabric.
Tip No. 3
Never, ever wash your suit in the washing machine, even on the delicate/hand-wash cycle. Water temperatures in washing machines are incredibly hard to regulate and the detergents made for machines are far too strong for swimwear fabric.
Tip No. 4
Substances such as sun cream, tanning cream, and chlorine, as well as hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas, can cause discolouration and extreme damage to swimwear fabric, so we recommend being cautious about these external factors when wearing your suits. In addition, any rough surface can cause pulling and snagging of the fabric.
Tip No. 5
Caring for your suit in the appropriate manner is the best way possible to ensure that it will not deteriorate in an untimely manner.
care instructions
Knitwear
Tip No. 1
After wear, gently hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent formulated for delicate fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh chemicals, as these can compromise the integrity and stretch of the knit. Lightly move the garment through water — never rub or scrub.
Tip No. 2
Do not wring or twist. Instead, softly press out excess water using a clean towel. This helps maintain the structure and prevents distortion of the fibres.
Tip No. 3
Lay flat on a towel to dry, carefully reshaping the garment while damp. Always dry in the shade — direct heat or sunlight can fade colour and weaken the fibres.
Tip No. 4
Machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended. Even delicate cycles can be too aggressive for finely constructed knitwear, leading to stretching and loss of shape.
Tip No. 5
Take care around jewellery, accessories, and textured surfaces. Due to the refined, open-knit construction, snagging may occur if not handled delicately.
Tip No. 6
Fold your knitwear to store. Hanging may cause the garment to stretch over time, particularly in more sculpting or weighted designs.
