Product Insights
Versace's Greca Waistband Swim Brief, an Italian-made composite of the brand's Medusa and Greca icons since 1988, is crafted from infinitely recyclable ECONYL recycled nylon that resists chlorine and fading while requiring careful hand washing. Priced at 54% off retail, it offers the same design details as full-price versions, though its waistband fits snugly—most wearers size up—and the included pouch is for dry items only, not wet swimwear.
