C'est une excellente question.
Pour Othersea, la confection locale est non seulement une manière de faire rouler l'économie d'ici, mais également un gage de qualité inégalé.
En ayant notre production à la même adresse que notre boutique et de nos bureaux, nous pouvons offrir un service personnalisé et intime en plus de veiller sur la qualité de nos produits.
Nous sommes également très fières de pouvoir engager le talent d'ici et d'avoir une équipe 100% féminine et Québécoise.
Non, tous nos hauts de maillot sont conçus sans coussinets amovibles.
Ce choix est volontaire.
D'abord, parce que nous privilégions le confort et que les coussinets ont souvent tendance à se déplacer, se plier ou créer une sensation moins naturelle et inconfortable une fois le maillot mouillé.
Ensuite, parce que c’est beaucoup mieux pour la longévité de ton bikini. Effectivement, les coussinets absorbent et retiennent davantage l'eau et ses impuretés tel que le chlore, le sel, le sable, les bactéries, etc. Cela ralentit le temps de séchage et rend le rinçage de ton bikini plus difficile en plus de favoriser le développement d’humidité et de moisissure. Somme toute, cela endommage les fibres de ton maillot de bain beaucoup plus rapidement.
Notre solution.
Chacun de nos hauts de bikini est entièrement réversible et doublé. Cette double épaisseur procure une opacité et une structure naturelle à ton haut de bikini sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'ajouter des coussinets. Si tu souhaites davantage camoufler le relief de la poitrine, nous te recommandons nos tissus texturés (wavy et towel) ainsi que nos couleurs plus foncées, qui offrent naturellement un peu plus de discrétion.
Oui!
Tous nos modèles de maillots de bains, hauts, bas et une pièces sont réversibles.
Les coutures invisibles utilisées pour la confection d'un maillot de bain réversible permettent un confort inégalé.
In addition to being handmade in Quebec, our swimsuits are all reversible and made from high-quality recycled and/or eco-friendly fabrics. This gives them a longer lifespan and a reduced environmental impact.
Oui
Nos maillots de bain sont faits à partir de tissus faits de fibres de plastiques recyclés de grande qualité. Ce qui leur donne une durée de vie prolongée & un impact environnemental réduit.
Nous priorisons également les fibres naturelles biologiques pour nos vêtements comme le lin, le coton et le chanvre. Ce sont des tissus de qualité qui traversent le temps.
De plus, tous nos vêtements et maillots de bain sont confectionnés au Québec, à la main et en petits lots, ce qui réduit considérablement la chaîne d'approvisionnement et le gaspillage textile.

Bikini care
To wash your swimsuit, we suggest you:
- Use a mild soap
- Wash it by hand or in the washing machine on a delicate cycle
- Avoid washing it with rough or snag-prone materials (Velcro, jeans, zippers, bra hooks, etc.)
- Avoid any abrasive and/or bleaching products
To keep your bikini looking its best for a long time and to preserve its colors and elasticity, here are some good habits to adopt:
- Hand wash with mild soap in cold water only.
- Hang or lay flat to dry in the shade.
- Do not dry clean, tumble dry, or use bleach.
- Do not leave it wet or damp in a bag or closed container.
- Do not wring.
- Prolonged exposure to chlorine can damage your bikini, so wash it immediately after use.
- Avoid contact with rough surfaces, as this could pull on the fabric.
- Some tanning oils and lotions, as well as sunscreens, can stain or damage your bikini, so be careful.
Yes, rinsing your bikini after each swim helps to remove chemicals and impurities that would otherwise damage the fabric fibers of your swimsuit and thus shorten its lifespan.
Yes! However, we suggest you prioritize the delicate cycle, avoid washing it with rough or snag-prone materials (velcro, jeans, zippers, bra hooks, etc.) and avoid any abrasive and/or bleaching products.
The best way to dry your bikini is to lay it flat and out of direct sunlight. Either in the shade or indoors.
Yes, chlorine is a very abrasive chemical that can quickly damage the fibers of a swimsuit. That's why our premium fabrics are carefully selected for their chlorine resistance.
See our SWIM SAFE section for more information.
Yes, salt water is full of tiny salt crystals, microorganisms, grains of sand, bacteria, etc., which can get trapped in the fibers of your bikini fabric. That's why we recommend rinsing your bikini thoroughly after every swim.
No, it's strongly recommended not to put your swimsuit in the dryer. The heat from the machine damages the elasticity of the fibers of your bikini, which can cause it to lose its shape and tear.
