A beachwear icon, the classic bandeau with its rigid “U”-shaped ring, designed to gather the fabric and draw the eye to the neckline, is reimagined here in knit.
No metal, no stiffness: just softness, stretch, and comfort. Knit in Contrepoint® N.1 using garter stitch, the fabric stretches both vertically and horizontally. It offers natural support without compression. Perfect for small to medium busts. A version with more coverage is available for fuller busts. 

The central ring is fully knitted and ready to be customised, with contrast yarn, leftover swatches, or even a crochet finish. It creates a gentle curve at the center front, naturally enhancing the bust.

No underwire, no boning, no back closure.  Just a fluid, silky-soft knit that covers without adding bulk.
No need for pads or lining.

After finishing your knit, the best way to care for it is a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild, bleach-free detergent. No soaking..
To remove excess water, press it lightly between two towels. Don’t wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or any heat source.

Machine washing is possible on a delicate cycle (30 °C max, low spin), ideally inside a protective laundry bag to reduce friction. We recommend the GUPPYFRIEND® bag, designed to protect fibers and capture microplastics.

Avoid tumble drying, dry cleaning, and ironing.
