About the Chi Heritage

Chi Heritage channels ancestral artistry through a high performance swimwear lens. The print sets meticulously spaced polychromatic masks against a deep obsidian background; burnt ochre, electric teal, and terracotta create high definition contrast that speaks to the diversity of personhood and pan-African mask traditions. This is African print swimwear built for sustainability, support, and presence at once. Explore the full African print swimwear collection for more recycled, performance ready pieces.

Construction and Fabric

The set is crafted from high density recycled fibers, available in two constructions depending on region. The EU construction is 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, at 6.78 oz per square yard. The MX construction is 81% REPREVE recycled polyester and 19% LYCRA XTRALIFE, at 7.52 oz per square yard. The bikini is double layered and non reversible, with precision zig zag stitching for maximum opacity and a fit that holds its shape through every dive. Internal openings allow for removable padding, included with the set, so the silhouette can be customized for lift and support. A tear away care label keeps the inside seamless against the skin.

How to Style This African Print Bikini

For the athlete, the high waist silhouette gives secure, anatomical support during open water swims or beach side training, with zig zag stitching that keeps the suit in place through dynamic movement.

For the traveller, the high waist bottoms offer sophisticated coverage for coastal excursions, while the top doubles as a bold cropped separate under a semi sheer linen tunic. The quick dry, UPF50+ fabric moves easily from a morning swim to a cliffside lunch.

For the urbanist, pair the bottoms with a structured silk wrap or an oversized poplin shirt for a pool side, art house look. Complete the look with the matching ASAKE-OGE African print accessories for a fully styled resort moment.

Sustainability

Chi Heritage uses high density recycled polyester and, in the MX construction, REPREVE recycled fiber blended with LYCRA XTRALIFE; this is luxury swimwear engineering with a reduced environmental footprint, sourced from textile partners in Spain, Germany, Colombia, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Fit Notes:

• The High-Waist Foundation: This bikini set is engineered to sit at the natural waistline. The high-waist construction provides an anatomical anchor, ensuring the bottoms remain secure during activity while offering a smoothed, supportive silhouette.

• Compression & Recovery: With up to 19% LYCRA XTRALIFE (in MX variants), the fabric provides a higher level of muscular compression than standard swimwear. It is designed to retain its snap and shape even after prolonged exposure to salt water and sunlight.

• Supportive Double-Layering: Because this set is double-layered and non-reversible, it offers double the structural integrity. This ensures that the deep obsidian base remains completely opaque and provides a more rigid, supportive feel than single-layer alternatives.

• Customization Tip: For women with a larger bust relative to their waist, the removable padding provides a customizable bridge. Keep the padding in for added lift and structure, or remove it for a more natural, flexible fit.
