FAQ
Curious about something? We've got it covered.
The Brand
Our swimsuits are carefully crafted in a small, family-owned factory in Italy, known for its ethical practices and commitment to sustainability. We uphold the highest standards of quality and fair labor practices, maintaining close relationships with our manufacturing partners to ensure consistent, ethical production.
At La Vague Swimwear, being eco-friendly and sustainable goes beyond our swimwear - it's a commitment in everything we do daily. Our products are made in Italy, close to France, which helps reduce our carbon footprint by minimizing transportation emissions. We use eco-responsible fabrics and produce in very limited quantities to avoid overproduction, excess stock and waste. Our packaging is made from recycled materials, reflecting our ongoing effort to control our environmental impact and protect the planet.

Sizing and Fit
Our items generally run true to size, but fit can vary by style and personal preference. Each product page includes a detailed size chart with measurements. We recommend checking the fit notes on each product page, as well as our full Size Guide.
If you’re between two sizes, we generally suggest sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
On each product page, you’ll also find the model’s reference info: the size she’s wearing and her measurements (bust, waist, hips). It can help you get a clearer idea of the fit in real life.
Still unsure? Feel free to email us or send us a message on Instagram at @lavague.swimwear. We’ll be happy to provide personalized advice!
Most of our bikini tops come with removable padding, so you can choose wether or not to wear it based on your personal preference.
All of our swimwear are double-lined, ensuring a flattering and comfortable fit - even without padding.
You'll find detailed information about padding in each product description, so you always know what to expect before ordering.
Care and Customization
To extend the life of your swimwear, we recommend rinsing it in cold water after each use and laying it flat to dry in the shade. Do not put them in washing machines, dryers or bleach them as they can damage the fabric and the color.
