GRS Certified Recycled Nylon

Our Francesca Crochet Avoca Slide Tri is proudly GRS certified, giving you confidence that it is genuinely crafted from recycled fabrics.

Every silhouette is refined through technical precision. Every detail is intentional. Luxurious, eco conscious fabrics are paired with expertly engineered cuts to deliver swimwear that flatters, supports, and feels exceptional on the body.

This is swimwear designed by authorities in the field. Crafted with confidence. Worn with confidence. Made to last, season after season.
