Good things are meant to last, that’s why every Vitamin A collection is thoughtfully designed with longevity in mind. By adopting a few gentle, low-impact care habits you can help preserve the fit, feel, and longevity of every piece.
Because the most sustainable garment is the one you keep wearing.
Always refer to the care instructions on your garment label, as recommended care varies by fabric and style.
Rinse After Every Wear
After swimming, rinse your suit in cool water as soon as possible to remove salt, chlorine, sunscreen, and body oils. This helps preserve the fabric, color, and elasticity.
Hand Wash Gently
Hand wash in cool water using a mild, biodegradable detergent. Wash only when needed and avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents that can damage delicate fibers.
Dry Naturally
Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Avoid wringing, twisting, or tumble drying, as excessive heat can weaken the fabric and shorten its lifespan.
Protect Your Suit
Rough surfaces like concrete, pool edges, rocks, and unfinished wood can snag even the highest-quality swim fabrics. We recommend sitting on a towel whenever possible. Hot tubs and heavily chlorinated pools may accelerate fading and wear. Rinse immediately after use.
Our beachwear is thoughtfully crafted from premium natural fibers selected for their beauty, comfort, and longevity. Caring for each garment according to its fabric helps preserve its character over time. Always refer to the care label, as recommended care varies by fabric and style.
Linen + Cotton
Hand wash in cold water using a mild, biodegradable detergent. Hang or lay flat to dry. Steam or iron on low if needed.
Knits
Hand wash or use a delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry to help maintain shape.
Extending the life of your clothing is one of the simplest ways to reduce its environmental impact.
Choosing cold water, gentle detergents, and air drying whenever possible helps reduce energy use while protecting your garments and our waterways.
