Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Asymmetrical Opening Ribbed Briefs: Choose this if you want a statement brief with a distinctive asymmetrical hip cut-out and vertical ribbed texture on stretch cotton jersey (96% cotton, 4% elastane), which the retailer describes as very comfortable. It has a wide elastic logo waistband, contoured seamed front pouch with full front coverage, curved bound leg openings, and comes with a signature storage pouch. It's made in Portugal and offered in black or white in sizes small to x-large; the cut-out exposes a triangular area at one hip, so it suits wearers after a bolder, more revealing silhouette.[1,2,3] | Black Swim Brief: Choose this if you want a minimalist, low-rise swim brief in deep black — its luxurious stretch jersey (84% polyester, 16% elastane) is smooth and matte, with an elastic waist, high-cut leg openings, and the French brand's signature design tone-on-tone. It is a fitted style covering the buttocks, offered in sizes small through X-large and made in Portugal. Note that fit details such as waistband position are shown on the model in the listing photos and may vary on other wearers.[4,5,6] |
