Caring for Your Jesper Swimwear
Each piece is made from high-quality fabric and made to last through many seasons of wear — with a little care.
Rinse right after wearing. Salt water, chlorine, and sunscreen are the biggest threats to your swimwear's color and stretch. A quick rinse in cool water right after your swim or shower makes the biggest difference of anything on this list.
Hand wash, cold water, mild detergent. Swirl gently, let it soak a few minutes if needed, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid the washing machine when you can — if you must, use a mesh bag on the coldest, most delicate cycle.
Never wring. Gently press out excess water instead — wringing stretches the fabric out of shape.
Air dry flat, out of direct sun. Sunlight fades color faster than almost anything else. Dry your piece in the shade or somewhere well-ventilated, laid flat rather than hung, to keep its shape.
Skip the dryer. Heat breaks down the fibers and elasticity that keep your swimwear fitting the way it should.
Watch what it touches. Rough surfaces — pool concrete, weathered chairs, sandy towels — can snag and pill the fabric. A towel underneath goes a long way.
Be mindful of sunscreen and tanning oils. Some formulas can stain or break down fabric over time. Rinsing promptly after wear helps prevent this.
Handmade pieces deserve a little extra care — treat them well, and they'll move with you for years to come.
