About the Yeye Artisan

The Yeye Artisan is one of the few African print women's swimsuits on the market built to perform at the same level it presents. The print is a village vignette: stylised female figures carrying balanced vessels, rendered in a sophisticated palette of royal blue, sunny yellow, crimson, and deep obsidian. Each figure maintains its own movement and grace, creating a rhythmic visual flow that mirrors the fluidity of the swimmer in motion. This is heritage wearable in the water.

The fabric is 82% polyester and 18% spandex microfiber, precision-woven at 6.78 oz/yd² for excellent opacity and a firm, supportive feel that does not sag, bag, or go translucent when wet. The four-way stretch technology means the fabric expands and fully recovers in both directions, preserving shape and print vibrancy through repeated wear. Each piece is precision-cut and hand-sewn after printing to ensure print alignment and seam placement follow the natural curves of the body. Flat-stitch construction minimises friction and eliminates chafing during long days at the resort or in the surf.

Fit Notes:

1. Anatomical Silhouette & Compression

This one-piece is engineered with a balanced compression profile, utilizing a 6.78 oz/yd² fabric weight.

• The high spandex content (18%) provides a firm, "held-in" feel that smooths the midsection without restricting breathability. It offers a moderate level of core support, making it ideal for both leisurely lounging and active water sports.

• The "Second-Skin" Effect: Thanks to the microfiber yarn, the fabric conforms precisely to the body's contours, reducing drag in the water and preventing the "bagging" often seen in lower-quality synthetic blends.

2. Upper-Body Architecture

• Scoop Neck & Wide Straps: The wide, non-adjustable straps are strategically designed to distribute pressure evenly across the shoulders. This prevents the digging sensation common with thin strings and provides a secure anchor for A–DD cup sizes.

• Stability: The high-cut armholes ensure lateral breast tissue is contained and supported during overhead movements, such as swimming strokes or beach volleyball.

3. Four-Way Recovery Mechanics

• Many swimsuits only stretch in two directions, leading to a loss of shape over time. Our four-way stretch technology ensures the garment expands and, more importantly, fully recovers both crosswise and lengthwise.

• This high recovery rate means the suit won't lose its snap or become translucent when stretched, maintaining its structural integrity and the vibrancy of the Village Vignette print through repeated wear.

4. Ergonomic Seam Placement

• Hand-Sewn Precision: Because each suit is hand-sewn after printing, the seams are placed to follow the natural curves of the body. The flat-stitch construction minimizes friction against the skin, virtually eliminating the risk of chafing during long days at the resort or in the surf.

• Leg Opening: The mid-cut leg opening is designed for a balance of modern style and functional coverage, allowing for a full range of hip motion without the garment riding up.
