Why choose custom swimwear
Many manufacturers offer standard models and allow little change: colour, logo, perhaps a size. If the brand has a precise idea of material, shape and structure, that route is not enough.
We look for the supplier willing to do genuine custom development and work with them on fit, pattern and details, checking that the proportions match what the client asked for. Functional details are discussed with the factory, one by one.
Materials and versions
Technical fabrics
Soft, light and quick-drying, chosen for the real use of the garment.
Fit and pattern
Fit built on the client's measurements, with proportions checked before production.
Inner finishes
Drawstrings, mesh lining and functional details, discussed directly with the factory.
Logo and printing
Heat transfer for a sharp, hard-wearing result, with the mark resized for the garment.
The project
The Papaco project concerns swimwear developed to technical specifications, made with a custom fit, a pattern adapted to the measurements, a resized circular logo and the addition of a functional ring. Traditional manufacturers offered models that were too standard and did not allow enough changes to material, shape and structure.
