Product Insights
Louis Gabriel Nouchi's Black Swim Brief, a staple of a Paris Fashion Week label that dressed the French Paralympic team, is crafted around a literary work and made in Portugal via small-batch production. Priced originally at 195 CAD but currently out of stock (on sale at 75% off for 59.95 CAD), it offers a true-to-size, fitted swim brief in 84% polyester and 16% elastane that stays opaque when wet and resists chlorine, though the elastic waistband degrades with chlorine or saltwater—requiring rinsing after use and hand washing to preserve fit and durability.
