From the designer:
The print was created in collaboration with Mexican illustrator Michelle Macias aka Mermaid Michelle. We bonded through our mutual obsession of Kpop and decided to go with a Garden of Eden concept combining naked Kpop idol-looking guys with a Chinese floral motif. The result was a pair of cheeky, manga-inspired swim briefs that fulfills your Asian dream boy fantasy.
To continue the Chinese design narrative, jade aglets – purchased from the Jade Market in Hong Kong – are attached to the ends of drawstring. It’s an elevated detail and each swim brief comes with their own unique pair.
Fit: The swim briefs are on the tighter and more revealing side. So say you usually wear an S (29-31in) - If you've got a more luscious bum, try an M, unless you wanna show off, which we fully support.
Care Instructions: Soak in water mixed with a light detergent or hand soap. Rinse the soap away and squeeze the water out gently without excessive twisting. Then hang dry.
The jade and ceramic aglets are delicate, so don't swing them against hard surfaces. Also, make sure the pieces don't get caught in the drain when washing or in other similar openings.
Material: 100% polyester
Designer: tight tams is a swimwear brand conceived in Los Angeles, born in Hong Kong, nurtured in New York. It is a gay Asian dream boy anime fantasy mixed with queer, twink, femme vibes.
