Product Insights
Othersea's Venus Tartan High-Rise Bikini Reversible, handmade in Quebec since 2016, offers a double-layer microfibre construction that provides smooth compression, uniform opacity, and a reversible fit without twisting, thanks to matched four-way stretch and hand-finished seams. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified for 1,000+ harmful substances, dries quickly due to low moisture regain, and is less than half the price of a comparable Waterlust bottom. However, the polyester material is not highly chlorine-resistant, requiring rinsing after chlorine exposure, and care includes hand washing and hang drying.
