A swimsuit is more than a summer garment: it is something that
accompanies moments of freedom, rest, and contact with nature. The Festa
Foresta swimwear is made with regenerated materials and artisanal
techniques that ensure softness, comfort, and durability. To preserve these
qualities over time, it is important to care for each piece attentively and
consistently.
Washing and storing a swimsuit correctly means extending its life, respecting
the fabric, and reducing environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary
replacements. Care is not simply a practical gesture—it is a continuation of
the brand’s values, centered on sustainability, connection with the body,
and harmony with nature.

Why sustainable swimwear requires gentle care
Festa Foresta swimwear is made from ECONYL and regenerated
polyamides—materials chosen for their elasticity and resistance to salt water,
chlorine, and daily movement. However, to preserve these properties, it is
essential to avoid aggressive washing habits.
Regenerated fabric is strong, but it is particularly sensitive to harsh
detergents, high temperatures, rubbing, and the common habit of leaving
the swimsuit wet for long periods.
Gentle care helps maintain:
– Elasticity of the fibers
– Color vibrancy
– Natural fit
– Softness against the skin

This is about maintaining quality, but also preserving the sense of comfort
that makes a swimsuit truly pleasant to wear.

How to wash Festa Foresta swimwear correctly
The washing moment is key to the longevity of the swimsuit. Only a few
simple habits are needed, as long as they are repeated consistently.
Always rinse the swimsuit immediately after use, especially after swimming
in the sea or pool. Salt and chlorine are among the main agents that
dehydrate and stiffen fibers.
Use cold water and a mild detergent, ideally without added fragrance or
chemical additives.
Avoid:
– Fabric softeners
– Bleaching agents
– Strong perfumed soaps
– Washing machine cycles (even delicate ones)
The best method is hand washing, with slow movements and without
twisting the fabric. Gently press out the water using your palms.
This preserves the fabric’s structure and protects the swimsuit’s natural
elasticity.

How to dry and store swimwear without damaging it
After washing, drying is equally important.
Do not expose the swimsuit to direct sunlight: intense light can fade natural
tones and weaken fibers over time. Instead, let it air dry in the shade, laid flat
on a clean surface.
Do not use dryers or direct heat sources.
To store the swimsuit:
– Avoid plastic bags
– Prefer breathable fabrics
– Do not fold when still damp
Proper storage prevents distortion and maintains the swimsuit’s soft, natural
fit.

A care practice that reflects a way of living
Caring for Festa Foresta swimwear is not only a technical practice—it is a
way of honoring the value of what we choose to wear.
Owning fewer pieces, cared for better, means consuming more consciously,
respecting:
– The artisans who made them
– The time required to create them
– The materials chosen for sustainability and comfort
In the daily gesture of washing a swimsuit, there is a cultural choice: choosing
slowness, quality, care, rather than replacing and accumulating.
Beachwear becomes a personal and natural narrative, where the body is
welcomed and listened to, and where each piece preserves the memory of
the days we lived.
